With over a decade of professional experience, he now runs Salty Boat Charters—a charter built on expertise, hard work, and a love for the water.

Great time today
Half Day Trip on October 1, 2026 • 1 adult
Cleus was my point of contact and the captain and his deckhand were great (apologies their names are slipping me). They were very clear about the strategy from the start and what I was to do if a fish was on the line. We caught both mahi and a barracuda, with our resort agreeing to cook one of the mahis for us for lunch and I left them the other 2. The water was a bit choppy and my stomach didn't agree with me twice but obviously that's not on them! Professional company and would definitely book something through them again next trip to St Lucia.

The transportation we had arranged to the marina to meet the captain never showed up, so they came to our dock and picked us up! Captain Phil and his mate were fabulous, knowledgeable and made our day great! thanks guys!

Rough seas so we went back towards shore and did some bottom fishing. Caught several. Great time with family and made new friends with the crew and owner Capt. Joe. Cant say enough nice things about his crew. MANDU was a good lady to us for two trips two different days. Snorkeling one day the other day fishing. Same GREAT crew. TY everyone

Brook, thank you so much for the amazing review and the 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We truly appreciate your understanding,you’re absolutely right, it’s called fishing, not catching 😊. Safety always comes first, so when the seas get rough, we adjust the plan and make sure everyone still has a great time. We’re glad the bottom fishing delivered and that you were able to put some fish in the boat! It was a real pleasure having you and your family out with us,not just once, but twice! From fishing aboard Sea Bee to snorkeling and fishing on Mandu, we’re happy both trips were memorable. That’s what it’s all about for us!great experiences, great company, and making new friends along the way.
