We had an incredible experience with Captain Jake at SaltnSun Charters in Marathon! We did two trips with him—one for lobster and another for reef and wreck fishing. Captain Jake hustled the entire time and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. He was especially great with our two small children, even surprising them with chocolate chip cookies! He also brought fresh mango and pineapple, which was an awesome touch. Great captain, great boat, and an even better experience. We’ll definitely be booking with Captain Jake again next time we’re in the Keys!

Booked a 4hour nearshoe trip in August. Jake was willing to extend to 6 hours but based on the heat he advised against it. Good idea. It was a very hot day but he did great keeping us cool with drinks, pineapple, and a dip in the water. Set the bait and helped reel fish in with still letting us feel part of experience. He cleaned fish and gave us a recommendation where to get it prepared. Took pictures through our trip for us. Trip was 4 adults, 2 kids ages 11/9. Based on the size of fish and reels, kids were not able to be hands on with all reeling.

We chartered an 8 hour reef trip with Cap Jake and it was a tough day for fishing in general. Jake was very knowledgeable throughout the entire trip and was well prepared. He worked his butt off trying to put us on fish all day. Most impressive was when our trip was scheduled to end, he wasn’t satisfied with what we had caught and spent an additional 2 hours to try a few more spots. We ended the day with a nice variety and the beat recommended spots to prepared our fresh catch. Highly recommend Captain Jake!

Some of us in the family love to fish, some do not. On this the boat with Calt Jake, these differences disnt matter. Capt Jake made things fun and engaging for everyone despite their previous experience. He was punctual. He was knowledgeable. All he asked us to do was to show up and have a good time. We did get hooked up on some fish (didnt limit out) but that was ok by us. We had fun, had some fish for dinner, and most importantly…. made some memories as a family.

We had an absolutely amazing time on our fishing charter with Captain Jake! From start to finish, he made the whole experience fun, exciting and unforgettable. He was especially great with my 12-year-old! He was super patient, encouraging, and made sure he was having a blast the entire time! We limited out on tuna, caught mahi and even saw a great white!! We caught a ton of fish, learned a lot, and created memories we honestly will never forget. Huge shoutout to his first mate Bryan as well, he was awesome, super helpful, and kept everything running smoothly all day. When we were done fishing Captain Jake even recommended a lovely dinner spot where we could bring the freshly filleted fish we just caught and have it cooked the same night, it was incredible! You can really tell he cares about what he does and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time. Highly recommend booking with him if you’re looking for an awesome day on the water. We will definitely be back!
