Running angling trips out of Holden Beach, Sorta Salty Fishing Charters will take you exploring the local waters in style. Run by Capt. Keith Eddins, he'll take you fishing the inshore and nearshore waters, targeting a whole host of different species.

Capt. Keith will employ a variety of techniques to help you land your prized catch. Depending on what's biting and what you want to fish for, you could be trolling, bottom fishing, jigging, popping, spinning, or drift fishing. Some of the species you'll encounter on your day out include King Mackerel, Cobia, Redfish, Flounder, Speckled Trout, and Black Drum.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 25' Avenger boat that can safely take up to 4 anglers. The vessel is powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine, and fitted with a trolling motor to help you sneak up on fish. On board, there's also a livewell to keep the bait fresh, as well as an ice box to store the catch.

Each trip includes rods, reels, and terminal tackle. Capt. Keith will also supply you with fishing licenses, so there's no need to worry about that. You'll also be able to keep the fish you catch, as long as they're within legal size and bag limits. Finally, kids are welcome on board, in case you want to turn your fishing trip into a family adventure.

    My daughter's first fishing charter!

    3/4 Day Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on July 28, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Sorta salty is a great charter very knowledgeable and friendly! It was my daughter's first charter and the captain was great helping her out showing her where and how to cast. They took us all over to give us the best chance to catch fish. We caught a stingray and a bunch of flounder. They made it the best experience for my family and especially my daughter's first experience. We can't wait to book it again next time we come down to Holden!

    Awesome Captain and charter

    3/4 Day Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on April 29, 2024 • 4 adults

    We had a great time fishing with Sorta Salty Charters and Captain Keith. He did an exceptional job to accommodate our fishing party. We came to fill the coolers with fish and Captain Keith did not disappoint. He put us on fish and we caught one after another the entire trip. We are avid outdoorsman and fisherman and Sorta Salty Charters filled all our expectations. Captain Keith was a pleasure to be around. We were so pleased that we booked a second trip for that same week. I would highly recommend them.

    One full-day charter turned into two wonderful trips!

    Full Day Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on June 10, 2023 • 4 adults

    Captain Keith with Sorta Salty is a superb boat captain and even better fishing guide. We went out in the morning for a 6-hour trip from Holden Beach to the Atlantic off Oak Island. We caught tons of Spanish mackerel, blue fish, and even a 4' shark. He kept us on the fish all morning. We came in for lunch while Captain Keith cleaned our fish. Then we headed back out with a different group for a 3-hour scenic tour along the Intracoastal Waterway and a little fishing. Captain Keith was extremely patient teaching my 5-year old and 3-year old grandkids how to fish. Best of all, they caught their first fish! Great day on great boat! Captain Keith is very patient and kind. Just let him know what you have in mind and he'll make it happen. If you're staying in or near Holden Beach, NC, I highly recommend spending some time with Captain Keith with Sorta Salty.

    Half-day Inshore

    Half Day Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on July 25, 2025 • 4 adults

    We had a great time on the water with Captain Jason. Caught one trout and several flounder. Hooked up with 5 reds… managed to get two of them to the boat. Both were keepers and Jason cleaned them for us when we got back to the dock. Very satisfied with our trip!

    The fish bite is slow Captain Jeff moved around and kept it the whole time

    Full Day Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on April 26, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Wanna do for a long time the fish bite slow, but Captain Jeff moved us around constantly kept it fun super professional worked his absolute butt off to help my eight-year-old catch a ton of small fish. I would highly recommend and I will certainly be back.

    Captain Jeff was fantastic. Although we weren't on the fish consistently, his stories and expertise kept us entertained and eager to go back. Captain Keith and Captain Justin were all helpful and helped my family enjoy the experience.

    Sorta Salty Crew & Captain Jeff

    Half Day Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on August 28, 2024 • 3 adults

    We came from Kentucky for a first time Vacation to NC. My daughter is handicapped and has limitations, however she loves to fish and was looking forward to this part of our trip. Captain Jeff was truly amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate her and her physical inabilities. He made sure she did not leave the trip without putting fish in the boat. This was truly the highlight of our vacation and we would recommend this Charter to everyone. Great group of people!

    Half day near shore

    3/4 Day Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on July 12, 2023 • 4 adults

    Me and my buddy take are two teenage boys on a charter every year. This was are first time on this boat. Captain Keith is the best captain we have ever had he made the suggestion we change to a near shore and go after Spanish mackerel, he was right we landed around 15 or so and 4 sharks. My boy really liked how captain Keith let them do things like how he showed them how to run the lure out for the Spanish, that made fill more like fishing and not just reeling something in. We will definitely be using him from now on.

We caught Flounder. Although they were out of sesson so it was catch and release. Captain Keith showed us techniques to set the hook and ensure we got to catch some fish. A great time was had by all.

nobody was catching any fish that day but it wasn’t because Capt Keith didn’t try. It was a beautiful day and we had good conversation. We still had a great time.
