Saltshaker Charters is located at the docks of Capt. Anderson's Marina in beautiful Panama City Beach, Florida. The company offers great inshore and offshore fishing in and around the waters of the Florida Panhandle. If you want to combine an exciting adventure and a relaxing day out catching fish – Saltshaker Charters is the right choice.
Enjoy your fishing trip with Saltshaker Charters aboard a 34 ft Crusader boat, which comes powered by a quiet and dependable 350HP Cummins 8.3CTA engine. It was built in 1999, the vessel was restored in 2020, and has a maximum cruising speed of 20 knots. It is fully equipped with navigational electronics, which include a GPS, a VHF radio, a radar, and a fish finder. This spacious boat is fitted with a flybridge to aid your search for the fish, a fighting chair for those who are up to a challenge, a live bait tank, and outriggers for a professional fishing experience. The boat provides comfortable fishing space for up to six anglers (or up to 1100 lbs combined weight) and inside, there is a toilet, a shower, a kitchen, air conditioning, and a bed. What else is needed when spending your day on the water?
On your day out with Saltshaker Charters, you will always have a pole ready to land the big ones. The trips are four to twelve hours, so any angler could find a suitable package. Whether you want to spend your day trolling and bottom fishing nearshore or head further offshore, fish the wrecks and reefs – the Captain will accommodate your every need.
Your targeted species will include Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Triggerfish, and many more depending on the season and what is biting.
A trip with Saltshaker Charters comes inclusive with lures, gear, tackle, and live bait when available. You won't have to worry about purchasing the fishing licenses – the Captain will do it for you. As well as that, feel free to bring your own food and drinks on board if you wish

AWESOME day out
Special Half Day Trip - 3 hours on May 26, 2025 • 4 adults
I had the absolute pleasure of spending a day on the water with Salt Shaker Charters, and I can confidently say it was one of the best charter fishing experiences I’ve ever had. Captain Bryan runs a tight ship — professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about putting his guests on the fish. From the moment we stepped aboard, Captain Bryan made sure everything was set up for success, and his expertise navigating the waters was evident throughout the trip.
Deckhand Logan was equally impressive. Friendly, energetic, and incredibly efficient, Logan worked nonstop to keep lines in the water, fish on deck, and everyone having a great time. Whether it was helping untangle a line, hooking fish with lightning reflexes, or just sharing a good laugh, he made the day fun and stress-free.
We caught a great variety of fish and had plenty of action from start to finish. What stood out most, though, was the attention to detail and the genuine effort both Captain Bryan and Logan put into making sure everyone had a memorable experience. They were great with both seasoned anglers and first-timers in our group.
If you’re looking for a top-tier fishing charter, Salt Shaker Charters should be at the top of your list. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!

Great crew and boat
3 Hour Trip 10:30AM on October 10, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child
Boat had room enough for 4 might be a little snug for more than 4. Took an hour to get to and from fishing spot and was on to fish right away. We did a 3 hour trip and would recommend a 4 - 6 hour to trip to a 3 hour just not enough time for a full fishing experience caught 57 small fish totaling 18 lbs. (ruby red, squirrel, and ruby red lip) Captain and deck hand were great. They are highly recommended

Great day
Half day trip on November 15, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child
We were a little late due to going to the wrong side of the marina. The captain was understanding and the deckhand greeted us at the dock beginning. He gave great directions on what to expect from him and went above and beyond helping the first time sea fishing 12yo. When the 4 hour trip time was up, we had the opportunity to extend it for another hour since the fish were biting and took advantage of that. Great day at sea and would recommend Salt Shaker to others
