Head out with Tails 2 Sails Charters Fishing and explore one of the most famous fishing destinations in the world! Captain Charles Donney is a light tackle fishing expert and Key West, Florida is his personal playground. This local pro knows all the spots, tips, and tricks to get you on high quality eating fish, as well as game fish trophies.

Hop aboard a 31’ Yellowfin sportfishing center console. She can comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests, with 3–4 anglers able to fish at the same time. She’s equipped with GPS and Fishfinder to help you find your targets, and a live well and ice box to keep your bait and catch fresh.

Whether you choose to stay inshore or you decide to venture into deep waters, you’ll be targeting some of Southern Florida’s most famous fish. Closer to the dock you’ll hook into Mutton and Mangrove Snapper, Tarpon, and Little Tunny.

Offshore, it’s all about Red Snapper, majestic Sailfish, quick Wahoo, delicious Mahi Mahi, and Skipjack Tuna. Your captain provides all the gear you need for a great catch including custom rods, Fin Ors, and Penn reels. Live bait, lures, and catch cleaning are also included.

Bring along any drinks and snacks you’d like to enjoy – just leave the hard liquor at home. All that’s left to do is lather on some sunscreen and head out!

Hi, I'm Charles Donney. Owner, captain, and boat washer of Tails 2 Sails Charters located in Key West, FL. I offer fishing charters on my 31' Yellowfin sportfishing center console. I specialize in light tackle fishing for many of the most popular game fish in South Florida. Everything from the high quality eating fish, such as Snapper and Grouper, to Tarpon inshore and Mahi Mahi and Sailfish offshore. I'm a big fan of taking kids fishing, these are some of the best memories you can make! As far as me, I've finished high school here in the early '90s and traveling for a while before making Key West my home. I've been chartering for almost 20 years on a variety of different boats before heading out on my own. I've been running Tails 2 Sails now for 10 years now have completed thousands of charters. Every day is different and lots of fun! You never know what you're going to catch or see on the water in the Keys. Its what keeps me going – that and the gas money!
