Salty Bowline Charter Co. 

Went on a birthday fishing trip with my 14 yr old son. His request was for Mahi and Dalton with Salty Bowline delivered. Found three different bird sets within an hour from the dock and limited out! Boat was ready and tackle was already set up ready to go. As soon as we found the first bird set, Dalton went to action. Ive been on some charters before and the guide did all but put the fish in the fish box. As part of the birthday experience for my son, my son casted, reeled, gaffed, and loaded the fish box. Thank you Dalton and Salty Bowline for a great Birthday trip for my son. We will be back and highly recommend.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! From the moment we booked with Salty Bowline Charters, the customer service was outstanding. We had a scheduling mix-up, and the owner went above and beyond to make everything right. That level of customer care alone impressed us, but the fishing trip itself exceeded every expectation. Captain Trentin and first mate Jack were phenomenal. They worked incredibly hard all afternoon to make sure my son and I had the best possible experience. Our adventure started with an unforgettable surprise a school of dolphins swimming alongside the boat! It was the perfect way to begin the trip. Not long after, Captain Trentin found a school of giant jack crevalle, and we caught 10 fish over 30 inches! They put up an unbelievable fight and had us smiling from ear to ear. Then my son caught a Bonita, which we used as bait…and that’s when the trip turned into something we’ll be talking about for the rest of our lives. We hooked into a huge bull shark! It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This wasn’t just a fishing charter it was one of the best memories my son and I have ever shared together. If you’re looking for a charter in the Florida Keys, stop searching and book with Salty Bowline Charters. Captain Trentin, first mate Jack, and the entire team are first class. We can’t thank them enough for giving us a day we’ll never forget. We will absolutely be back!

We went fishing last week with guides Trentin and Dalton and had a fantastic time. Trip included myself, my wife, my 14 year old daughter and 11 year old son. Both guides were incredibly knowledgeable, excellent teachers with great patience with us amateurs and most importantly they know how to find the fish! We went 3-4 miles out and were quickly reeling in yellow fin after yellow fin! I can't say enough about the personalities of our two guides. We loved learning about them and hearing their passion for guiding. We were also fortunate enough to meet Nick the owner who was beyond gracious and inviting. Great guy to chat with! Lastly, I highly recommend arriving early or staying after and hanging out at the boat dock (private club) that comes with the booking. There was a beautiful back area where the boats dock surrounded by mangroves. We saw manatees, nurse sharks and other interesting fish. The place has a shady pool and a bar!!! We will absolutely be back next chance we get. Do yourself a favor and book Salty Bowline today!!! Best money you will spend in the Keys! Grant and family

New life highlight. Took my niece and nephew out for a late-night fish and we had a blast. Caught some awesome fish — a hammerhead, mutton snapper and a monster of a grouper, among others. The boat ride alone is worth the trip, especially as the sun starts to set. Trentin mans the boat like a pro, and he and his second mate Dalton were great with my nephew (the fisher among us). 10-10 recommend.

Trent and Dalton are fantastic. I brought my two teenage daughters out for their first Tarpon trip and had a blast. We caught fish most importantly, but Trent is great and very patient with young anglers. Dalton expertly put the boat in and out of gear, lol. We will definitely be back. Trent also offers the opportunity to book a night trip and half day back to back to fish overnight which would have been fun to do had we known it was available but it's just not apparent on Fishing Booker. Thanks fellas and I highly recommend!
