About Our Captains Crew: Rewards, Insider Perks & How to Join

If you've fished with Always Somethin' Outfitters once, you already know the rhythm — quiet flats, light tackle, a cooler of ice with water and Gatorade waiting, and a captain who wants you back on the next tide. Captains Crew is how we keep that thread going between trips. It's our loyalty and insider community for guests who like Key West flats fishing enough to stay in the loop.

We're proud of the idea, and we're still building it out. This post is the straightforward version of what Captains Crew is today, why it exists, how to join, and how it pairs with booking a private 3-, 4-, or 6-hour flats trip.

What Captains Crew is

Captains Crew is the Always Somethin' way of saying: you're not just a one-and-done booking. You're part of a small circle of repeat anglers, families who make Key West a habit, and folks who buy gift cards for the people they love to fish with.

Think of it as an insider list more than a complicated club. When you join, you're on our radar for booking perks, trip reminders, and the kind of soft updates that help you stay ready for the next window of good water — without getting buried in noise.

Why we started it

Most of our best days on the flats come from people who've been here before. They already know how to move on the deck. They already pack sunscreen and a brimmed hat. They already understand that light-tackle Key West fishing rewards patience and a good cast.

Captains Crew exists for those guests — and for the first-timers who figure out, halfway through a bonefish or permit morning, that they'll want another shot. It also helps gift-card buyers: when someone sends a Ticket to Paradise, joining Captains Crew keeps the recipient connected after the first trip is over.

In short: we built it because loyalty on the water should feel personal, not corporate.

The perk you can count on right now

The clearest value on the site today is simple — join Captains Crew and you can get 10% off your trip before you book. That discount is the headline perk while we keep shaping the rest of the program.

We're intentionally not stacking a maze of mystery tiers here. If you've seen "earn points / redeem rewards" language around Captains Crew, treat that as the direction we're building toward — not a laundry list of unconfirmed catalogs. When something new unlocks, we'll say so clearly by email and on the site.

For now, the honest pitch is: join for the 10% trip perk, stay for the insider community, and watch with us as we grow the rewards side carefully.

How to join

Joining is meant to be easy. Look for Captains Crew / Become a Member on alsocharters.com, or email Capt. Srb at Capt.Srb@alsocharters.com and ask to get on the list. A quick note with your name and preferred contact is enough to get started.

If you already fished with us, mention your last trip date or captain — it helps us recognize returning crew. Prefer the phone? Call (386) 285-8402 and we'll walk you through it in captain-speak, not fine print.

How it pairs with 3 / 4 / 6 hour private flats trips

Captains Crew doesn't change what the day feels like on the water — it just makes booking the next one a little smarter. Our private light-tackle flats trips still run:

3 hours — $389. A solid half-morning window when tides and schedule line up. Great for first-timers, kids, or a focused shot at what the flat is giving that day.

4 hours — $549. The sweet spot for most guests: enough time to move with the tide, reset after a miss, and fish a couple of looks without watching the clock too hard.

6 hours — $849. The full day rhythm — more water covered, more patience for picky fish, and room for the stories that turn first-timers into Captains Crew regulars.

Every charter still includes rods, local knowledge, and a cooler with ice, water, and Gatorade. You show up ready; we handle the rest.

Who Captains Crew is for

Repeat anglers who already know which month they want tarpon or bonefish. Families who want one trusted outfitter every Key West visit. Gift-card buyers who want the recipient to feel welcomed after the first trip. And newcomers who like the idea of joining early so the 10% perk is waiting when they book.

Soft invite from the captain

We're building Captains Crew in public on purpose. Join for the 10% off trip perk, hang around for the insider updates, and help us shape what "loyal crew" means at Always Somethin'. When you're ready for the next Key West flats morning, book your 3-, 4-, or 6-hour private trip — or email Capt.Srb@alsocharters.com / call (386) 285-8402 and we'll get you set.

See you on the flat. — Capt. Srb
