About the Boat:
Tailwalker 2 is the ideal family fishing charter, offering a smooth ride and shade. With the freedom to fish the reef or in the sheltered backcountry, Tailwalker 2 can cater to anglers of every skill and interest level.
Tailwalker 2 drafts only 16'' of water fully loaded down, which allows you to get into the skinny waters of the backcountry. At the same time, the hull design offers great stability and a comfortable ride on a long run to the reef, the Everglades or a deep Gulf wreck.
Our Florida Keys fishing charter is outfitted with top-of-the line electronics and both fly and spin fishing gear. The boat is also equipped with dual, two-tournament live wells to keep the bait healthy for long days on the water. There is also plenty of dry storage to keep your belongings safe and dry even in the wettest conditions.
