    Great trip!!

    4 Hour Trip AM OR PM • 5 adults • 3 children

    Had the best experience fishing in Key West. First time there and we had no issue booking with him last min on a Sunday! Captain was very very friendly and approached our kids amazingly. My 6.5 year old had such an amazing time with him! We caught so many fish including snapper, a blue fish (can’t remember the name), a barracuda and even a FREAKING SHARK!! My husband who hates fishing loved the trip and wants to come back to Key West to do another trip with captain dean. Great experience. Great time. Would highly highly recommend to anyone who comes to Key West. He gave us a great time that we will remember forever and ever!!

    Awesome charter!

    4 Hour Trip AM OR PM - 1:00 PM • 2 adults

    As soon as I met Captain Dean, I knew we found a winner! The scheduling and booking was super easy. The boat and the equipment is well kept. The music was great, the ride safe, and the fishing was a blast! When we got back to the dock, Captain Dean cut our fish so we could take it to a restaurant. I can’t say enough good things about Salty Dawgs Charters and Captain Dean! They have the passion and the experience. I highly recommend!

    BEST CHARTER IVE FISHED

    8 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    This is the best charter boat I’ve fished so far, we caught plenty of kingfish, mahi, yellowtail, and grouper. The captain put us on fish and was on top of everything making sure that lines were set and in the water and extremely nice person as well.

    Response from Captain

    Daniel - thanks for an awesome day with you and the family, had a really good time and hope to get out there again soon!

    Great Morning With Captain Dean!

    4 Hour Trip AM OR PM • 2 adults

    My wife and I enjoyed our trip. Captain Dean kept the bait fresh and lines in the water. Caught some nice fish and played with a sailfish for a while before he threw the hook. Great trip, highly recommend!

What's biting with Salty Dawgs Fishing Charters in Key West

Late fall sees the reefs come alive. Large numbers of baitfish attract delicacies such as Yellowtail Snappers, Groupers, and Mutton Snappers, which then arrive in boats and on the dinner table.
