Tour Summary

When you imagine the perfect Key West fishing guide, you picture someone who's been fishing here all his or her life. Someone whose father, grandfather, and great grandfather before him fished the waters of Key West and handed down precious knowledge gained through decades of fishing. Well, stop dreaming- Captain Damon Santelli is real, and he's here to take you on his boat the CoolWater for the best fishing you can do in Key West. Captain Damon Santelli is one of the best charter captains in the Florida Keys, and he makes his career by offering the best fishing tours available in Key West.

Before dedicating himself full time to guiding fishing charters, Captain Damon Santelli was a commercial fisherman. His knowledge of the waters of Key West extends to all the major species of salt water sport fish as well as fish that's harvested for the table. He loves fishing, and his passion shows in his ever-positive attitude and ease in guiding any level angler through the paces of salt water sport fishing. No matter if you're a beginner or a seasoned angler, Damon Santelli ensure that you have a great time catching fish, and that you return to the dock with a smile.

Captain Damon Santelli's boat is the Coolwater. It's a 2008 See Vee, custom built with powerful dual 250 Yahama four stroke engines. Four stroke engines are quiet and clean- it's hard to even know the engine is on! Captain Damon Santelli's lifetime of experience means the Coolwater is outfitted to perfection, so that no matter what happens on board, he's prepared. Any type of fishing environment, any fish, and method of fishing, the Coolwater is 100% outfitted and ready to take on everything.

In addition to the fishing extras, there are two live bait wells, lots of storage areas, fishing boxes, and an onboard head. Once you see the Coolwater and fish from this extraordinary boat, you'll be amazed that such a fully outfitted boat can also be so fast and powerful as well. It's all just part of the superb fishing experience you'll have when you book a charter with Captain Damon Santelli.

I have been to the Bahamas many times, but The Coolwater is one of my favorite trips! It includes everything that everyone should do here. As a Bahamas veteran, I can say only the best about this experience!

Thanks to the professional guides! I was a bit worried about kayaking because I had never done it before, but the instructions were great and I had such a good time!
