Member since June 2014

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!

Half day trip with Captain John

VERIFIED

We had an excellent time with John. He is plain spoken and knowledgeable about everything from what your fishing to the birds you see while you fish. We had a slow start (no fault of his). Plenty of bites but we couldn’t deliver due to our inexperience. After he coached us ( much more than he probably wanted to) we finally started landing the fish. It was an amazing time from start to finish. Captain John knows his business and explains what he is doing and why. He also allows you to learn...
