Salt Shaker Charters is based in Dennis, Massachusetts, giving them amazing access to the very center of Cape Cod. This company is operated by Captain Dan Hannon – an avid angler and knowledgeable guide.
With over 30 years experience fishing the local waters, Captain Dan will guide you through the area’s most important fishing areas and introduce you to the most effective techniques on a family friendly fishing experience.
The Salt Shaker is a 36 ft H&H Marine boat that is powered by a 500 HP Cummins engine. This spacious vessel gives a comfortable ride, and its private restroom is a particular bonus. Fitted with a full packet of electronics and safety equipment, the boat also features a fighting chair and outriggers should you decide to go after big game.
While Captain Dan primarily fishes the Cape for Striped Bass and Bluefish, he can also take you further offshore in search of Bluefin Tuna and Sharks. Both light and heavy tackle are provided on board, and you can put a variety of techniques into practice, including trolling, jigging, and popping.
All tackle you will need on your trip is provided, but please remember to bring suitable clothing as well as any snacks and drinks you might like on your fishing adventure.

Half Day Trip on June 23, 2025
I would not have cared if we caught half of that amount. What a great trip! We have been fishing stripers on the Cape for over 25 years and never had such a perfect day. Weather was great, seas calm, and fish present. What made it truly special was the Captain Dan and his First Mate Tommy. Just a smooth operation from start to finish. Tommy did a great job explaining the plan for the day and giving great instruction to my nephews. This is my new annual charter moving forward for sure. Thanks Dan and Tommy!

First charter and first time ocean/salt water fishing for myself, my wife and our 3 young children. What a blast! Dan and Tom were amazing. Kept us right on the fish all day long. Reeled one in after another. Both were extremely knowledgeable about the area and the fishing. My kids asked a lot of questions and Tom was great at engaging with them and explaining everything. Dennis harbor was picturesque, the Bay was perfect and seeing the clam boats working made for an ideal day. Came home with some gorgeous fillets! This charter experience took our vacation to the next level and will be something my family remembers for many many years to come!

Myself and three other friends went out with Capt Dan and Connor for a half-day afternoon trip. Connor was incredibly helpful with reel set-up and tips on the water, Capt. Dan knew where to bring the boat to catch the fish. All in all: fun trip, highly recommend.

This was a great trip and the crew couldn't have been nicer. They knew exactly where to go to catch stripers. We brought my son and his friend and it was a great time. Caught a ton of stripers and ate well that night. Can't wait for our next trip.
