Fish Key West takes you on a fishing trip around one of the most diverse fisheries in the world. The action is great year-round, both inshore and out on the open waters. Based in the Key West, the crew onboard 'Coolwater II' knows the hot spots and how the fish bite. These captains have spent hours and years on the local waters. If someone knows how to cater to both novice anglers and more experienced fishermen, it's these guys.
'Coolwater II' is a versatile boat that can take on both inshore species and offshore game. She is a 33' Sea Vee center console that can take up to six people. Powered by two 300 HP Yamaha engines, 'Coolwater II' can reach speeds of up to 45 knots. She features a hardtop with a lookout tower. The boat is fitted with top-notch electronics to help you find your prey. She stores all the gear you need, as well as tackle, bait, license, and ice. There is a bathroom onboard. 'Coolwater II' is a top choice whether you want to fish a tournament or hire a charter.
If you go on a full day trip, you could be fishing far offshore, all the way up to the 90-mile mark. Or stay inshore, and scout around the backcountry waters to land Tarpon. 'Coolwater II' can get you where you want, with speed and stability. It's going to be a dry ride, packed with action. We fish anywhere from 3ft to 3000ft of water.
These trips can work with absolute beginners or full pros. Either way, the crew will help out so that you can have an enjoyable day on the water. Depending on the season, you can get Snapper, Grouper, Tarpon, Permit, Cobia, or more exotic fish, like Mahi, Sailfish, Kingfish, and more.
Pack a camera, sunglasses, a cap, sunblock, food, and drinks, and come along. If you can't find a spot here, just scroll down and click on Capt. Damon's name to see free spots on the rest of the fleet.

Had a great experience with Captain Ben, he put on some Yellowfin,Porgy,Mutton and Mangrove Snappers. Dinner tonight. The trip was short but with a 7 year old it’s hard to keep their attention for long. Enjoyed the trip. Thanks Porgy Slayer
My buddies and I had a great time fishing with Captain Forest. We caught a lot of fish and really enjoyed ourselves.
We booked a 6 hour charter with Forest and not even that was enough! He was such a knowledgeable captain which made our day such a blast. We had a mix of beginner and mildly experienced fishers. He knew exactly where to go to catch what we wanted, including some delicious fish to eat for dinner that night as well as some deeper water adventures! Our next visit will absolutely include another charter with him. Definitely recommend!!

Your captain
Key West, Florida, United States
Capt. Damon Santelli runs fishing trips out of the rich Florida Keys. Damon spent a decade working as a commercial fisherman in the Key West. During that time, he learnt a great deal about fishing, using rod and reel to make a living. Having earned a lot of experience and skills, Capt. Damon went on to become a captain of his own charter. He now has a fleet of boats and along with his team takes out numerous customers each year. The decision to leave behind his office career and become a captain proved to be the right one. Capt. Damon is patient and likes taking both novice anglers and seasoned fishermen out on the water. Damon has landed many commercial fishing records, such as 1232 lbs of Yellowtail Snapper. You don't want to miss a trip with him. It's going to be pure action!
