SMOOTH RIDE
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on March 9, 2026 • 4 adults
4 of us chartered Caption Alex. Perfect weather caught a bunch of grunts which were fabulous eating. Caption Alex's boat accommodated us nicely with room to spare. Very attentive for baiting our lines and taking the catch off the hooks. Missed the big ones, they were in our spot but kept eating our bait. Did some trolling but no luck. Thank you for showing us a great time and letting us pick the music. We were all jamming!

Sunset – Bottom Fishing (PM) on April 22, 2026 • 4 adults
The day was windy and the fishing was relatively slow, but Captain Alex worked diligently to find us fish and to help some real novices catch something. The highlight was when my son hooked a really big one, got a harness on, and learned how to fight it. Unfortunately, just before he got it up to the boat it turned and ran, breaking the line. The boat was quite new and well equipped. We all had a great afternoon.

What a day.
Sunset – Bottom Fishing (PM) on March 30, 2026 • 4 adults
Captain Alex and Simon made the trip a blast. We brought home more fish than we could imagine! had over 15lbs of it cooked fresh at Walts Fish Market. These guys are the direction to head if you want a perfect day to really pull your vacation together.
Thank you Alex, and Simon for a trip we wont forget!
Until next time 🫡

4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on December 28, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children
We had a great time! The kids loved it. We were on fish immediately. We wound up catching over 30 fish. The boat was big and accommodating, and the Captain and Mate were excellent. Would definitely recommend Salty Freedom.

Had a great time deep sea fishing with Captain Alex. We had a young group of kids that he was highly attentive too. We caught a bunch of fish, highlighted by a 250lb Grouper. A memory for sure.
