Jason Duetsch DuetschRepeat angler•
Colorado, US•Member since 20232 trips5.0VerifiedGreat crew!
Half Day Trip (AM) on January 2, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 childWe 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!
Geoff Bosler•Pennsylvania, USMember since 20245.0VerifiedOutstanding!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on January 31, 2024 • 4 adultsWe 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.

we went out into the ocean and trolled. then followed by bottom fishing
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!
Thank you for the awesome review! We're happy you had a great day fishing with Salty Boat Charters. Thank you for your feedback and we appreciate your comments. Tight lines and safe travels,we look forward to your next trip!

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.
