Get ready to fish the productive waters of the Florida Keys with Tail Gator Charters. With over 3 decades of experience, you can expect a professional guide who knows where the fish are. Captain Bill Miller caters his trips to all levels of experience and guarantees you'll have an awesome day on the water!

Your boat for the day is a 22' Penn Craft bay boat, powered by a 200 HP Suzuki engine. The captain's vessel comes with state-of-the-art navigational electronics, fishing gear, and safety equipment. You'll have outriggers for trolling big game pelagics and a livewell to keep your bait fresh in between catches.

The boat also comes with a multimedia system so you can listen to your favorite tunes while you fish. She accommodates up to 4 guests, including kids ages 8 and up, and everyone can fish comfortably at the same time.

The winter months are prime time for Sailfishing in the Keys as the cooler temperatures bring them in closer to shore. Capt. Bill will have you targeting Sailfish, as well as other big game species, such as Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Blackfin Tuna. You'll also have the chance to go after various Grouper and Snapper species, as well as Cobia, Permit, and Tarpon.

Top-quality Penn and Daiwa rods and reels are provided on all trips.

Capt. Bill will also offer to clean and fillet your catch. He also provides drinks on board but feel free to bring your own if you'd like. All you need is sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and the rest will be taken care of.

Be sure to arrive 15 minutes before departure and get ready for the ride of your life. Tail Gator Charters is ready to put you on the fish of your dreams, so start planning your adventure and book your trip today!

3/4 Day Mahi / Tuna on June 15, 20262 adults2 children
Captain Bill was outstanding from start to finish. He was personable, attentive, and made sure my entire family was comfortable and having fun throughout the trip. Our goal was to catch mahi-mahi for dinner, and thanks to his knowledge and hard work, we accomplished exactly that. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and Bill clearly knew where to put us on fish. He was patient with our kids, answered questions, and made the experience enjoyable for everyone on board. Most importantly, both of our boys had an absolute blast and left with huge smiles and great memories. My wife and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable captain who genuinely cares about his guests and works hard to make the trip successful, we highly recommend Captain Bill.

Captain Bill and First Mate Heather were so welcoming and professional from the start and worked very well togwther. They worked hard to put us on the fish and were open to our requests (let’s tey for Mahi now). They were very helpful when we were pulling in the fish. Upon return Captain Bill cleaned the fish and gave us recommendations in what we could do with it. we had it for dinner at a local restaurant. I recommend Captain Bill for a great ovean fishing experience!

Wonderful Experience!
Full Day Trip on December 27, 20252 adults
Bill does an excellent job, we had a great experience, The weather was perfect, the water was smooth and beautiful. We caught fish and later had a wonderful tasty dinner. We could not ask for more, in fact we would have liked to have gone out again, but Bill was already booked solid, (that says a lot). Highly recommend if you want one on one fishing guide and the personal touch of a beautiful day fishing.

Afternoon inshore on April 8, 20262 adults1 child
Unfortunately the weather didnt cooperate so we werent able to fish offshore as we originally planned. That didnt stop Captain Bill from giving our 9 year old one of his most memorable fishing experiences. He caught 2 sharks along with a bunch of fish! Captain Bill was very kind and patient. Highly recommend him as a Captain!
