Salt Shaker Charters
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
One of the best fishing charters I’ve ever been on!
🎣 Had an absolutely epic day on the Salt Shaker Sports Fishing Charter with my son, brother-in-law, and nephew! Captain Dan and first mate Connor are an unbeatable team! From the moment we arrived, their professionalism shone through. They're not just honest, they're 100% upfront about whether it's going to be a good day for fishing or not. No wasting time or money! 🚤 Once aboard, Captain Dan asked us what we wanted to do. His plan to fill the box with slot fish first and then go for the slobs was spot-on, and that's exactly what we did! Connor, the first mate, was a pro at cleaning the fish exactly how we wanted. 🐟 The knowledge these guys have about local fishing spots is impressive. They made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip, and even advised us on what to bring. The boat was spacious enough for the four of us, with plenty of room for two more if needed. We loved having four fighting chairs! 💪🏼 At one point, we had a triple hook up and landed all three bass! The boys (and honestly, all of us) left with seriously tired arms after jigging for hours. But seeing those huge fish come over the rail into the boat? Pure excitement! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely a five-star charter and one of the best I've been on in my life. If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure, Captain Dan and Connor at Salt Shaker Sports Fishing Charter are the way to go! Highly recommend! 🌊🐠

These guys are awesome
Went out with 4 kids, they were great with the kids and patient. Taught them how to do it and we caught a ton of striper!! Couldn’t recommend them more, awesome boat with tons of space and you could tell they knew where the fish were, we were on fish within 5 minutes of starting to fish and caught fish for all 4 hours, awesome guys that were fun to talk to as well, 10/10.

Slammers!
Best Charter Boat and Crew we have ever fished with. Captain Dan “hunted” fish. We did not follow the rest of the fleet, he had his honey holes and we slammed them! At one point we had a triple. (all three poles fighting fish) Everyone(including Captain and Mate) were going nuts. What a blast! Won’t ever go out again on any boat except the Salt Shaker!!

26 stripers ... 8 keepers
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!

What an Amazing day of Fishing.
Captain Dan and Connor were amazing. Their knowledge of fishing and welcoming attitude made this truly a trip of a lifetime for myself and my twelve year old son. We did a mid day trip and there was no shortage of fish. I will definitely book with “Salt Shaker” again next year. Thanks again for the great memories.
