    Great time today

    Half Day Trip on October 1, 2026 • 1 adult

    Cleus was my point of contact and the captain and his deckhand were great (apologies their names are slipping me). They were very clear about the strategy from the start and what I was to do if a fish was on the line. We caught both mahi and a barracuda, with our resort agreeing to cook one of the mahis for us for lunch and I left them the other 2. The water was a bit choppy and my stomach didn't agree with me twice but obviously that's not on them! Professional company and would definitely book something through them again next trip to St Lucia.

    Quality fishing!

    Half day trip on February 17, 2026 • 3 adults

    We didn't catch a lot of fish on our half day trip but we did land an 8 lb tuna and a 40 lb wahoo which absolutely made our day. We also caught some trigger fish and snapper when we stopped trolling and bottom fished for the last part of the trip.

    Fantastic experience

    Half Day Trip on May 13, 2025 • 2 adults

    If you want a more personalized trip than being with folks you don't know and a better chance on the chair, these are your guys! Captain and deckhand worked their butts off trying everything and figured it out. 4 barracuda in the box. Very experienced crew and nice boat and tackle. Got to talk about island life. When our taxi was a no show the big boss, who makes the best rum punch for the trip, drove us back to the resort. Highly recommend this charter!

    Great tour

    Half Day Trip on September 15, 2024 • 2 adults

    More than happy with this excursion….the guides were outstanding. They did everything they could to get us on some fish. We caught fish and had a great time. But most impressive to me our safety was very important to them. They wouldn’t let us off the boat until they knew our taxi was there to pick us up and walked us to the taxi. That to me said a lot!! I highly recommend going with salty charter!!

GREAT crew. Its called fishing not catching :)
Half Day Trip on February 17, 2026 • 3 adults

Rough seas so we went back towards shore and did some bottom fishing. Caught several. Great time with family and made new friends with the crew and owner Capt. Joe. Cant say enough nice things about his crew. MANDU was a good lady to us for two trips two different days. Snorkeling one day the other day fishing. Same GREAT crew. TY everyone

Response from Charter operator

Brook, thank you so much for the amazing review and the 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We truly appreciate your understanding,you’re absolutely right, it’s called fishing, not catching 😊. Safety always comes first, so when the seas get rough, we adjust the plan and make sure everyone still has a great time. We’re glad the bottom fishing delivered and that you were able to put some fish in the boat! It was a real pleasure having you and your family out with us,not just once, but twice! From fishing aboard Sea Bee to snorkeling and fishing on Mandu, we’re happy both trips were memorable. That’s what it’s all about for us!great experiences, great company, and making new friends along the way.
