Hop aboard Salty Boat Charters and get a taste of the excellent fishing opportunities Saint Lucia has to offer! As a local, Captain Cleus Mc Loren knows these waters like the back of his hand and is happy to show you to the most productive fishing grounds.

You will be using top-of-the-line Shimano rods and Penn Pursuit reels to troll for your deep sea aristocrats. When you've had your fill of fighting big fish, press pause and go take a dip. Capt. Cleus can provide snorkeling gear at request, at no additional charge.

On your half day angling adventures, you will be chasing your favorite superstar pelagics. The most prized catches are massive White Marlin and acrobatic Sailfish – both are amazing fighters that will require some extra elbow grease. You will also be trolling for tasty Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Wahoo, Skipjack Tuna, and many more. Bear in mind that it's always recommended to release Billfish after you've snapped a couple of cool photos.

You will have a friendly first mate on board, and you can turn to him for any help you need, he will be at your disposal. For his hard work and dedication, tips are appreciated. On your side, remember to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and your favorite nibbles, Capt. Cleus will take care of everything else.

Bring your best fishing buddies or kids, as long as they're 7 and older, Capt. Cleus will have life vests for the little ones. Salty Boat Charters invites you on a fun-filled fishing escapade that you will talk about for years to come!

    Great crew!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on January 2, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child

    We came in on a cruise ship and they picked us up at the same dock. Due to the timing we only were able to fish about 3 hours but it was beautiful and fun. We caught a Barracuda and a King Mackerel. It’s hard to do a fishing excursion from a cruise itinerary but they made it the best it could be with our limited time! Tyler and Captain Phil were great! Super friendly!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on January 31, 2024 • 4 adults

    We had an incredible day on the water with Salty Boat Charters. Captain Phil and Zain were incredibly helpful and delightful. We were able to hook up and land a beautiful Wahoo. But even if the fish weren't cooperating, I would absolutely still recommend booking through this boat. It was a wonderful trip with a very professional and accommodating crew.

Response from Charter operator

Thank you for your great review! It was a pleasure having you out with us. We're glad we were able to mix things up,starting offshore with some trolling action and then heading back in to do some bottom fishing. That combination really gives the full St. Lucian fishing experience, and we're happy you got to enjoy both styles in one trip. We truly appreciate you choosing Salty Boat Charters and hope to get you back out on the water again soon!

Awesome catch!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 22, 2024 • 2 adults

I've been chasing a Blue Marlin for 20 years and although it was the off season, Captain Phil and crew searched and searched and then we were hooked up! I was not expecting to catch one but the crew mates did a fantastic job and we worked together to bring the marlin to the boat. It was a heck of a fight and checked off a bucket list item. I was very happy with my charter and would highly recommend them.

Reported catch:
Skipjack Tuna
