Salty Boat Charters is led by Captain Cleus, a seasoned angler with a lifelong passion for the ocean. Born with salt in his veins, Cleus started fishing at a young age and quickly developed a deep respect for the sea. A defining offshore trip in his early years sealed his path—he knew then that life on the water wasn't just a hobby, it was a calling. Captain Cleus began his career working aboard private sportfishing boats, where he sharpened his skills in both inshore and offshore fishing. 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. Today, Captain Cleus is backed by a dedicated crew of six experienced staff members who share his passion for fishing and top-tier service. From deckhands to support crew, each member of Team Salty is committed to making your trip smooth, safe, and full of action. Whether you're chasing trophy pelagics or just out for a fun day on the water, Salty Boat Charters delivers an unforgettable experience—every time.

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!

We loved our time with Salty Boat Captan Zain and First Mate Tyler!! They helped us catch 3 beautiful big fish, including a 15+ lb King fish, when others went home empty handed. Highly recommend!!

Thank you so much Stuart! 🙌 We’re really glad you had such a great time out with Captain Zain and Tyler,that’s what we aim for every trip. Landing those big fish, especially that 15+ lb King, is no small feat, and we’re happy we could make it happen for you! Appreciate you choosing Salty Boat Charters and for the strong recommendation. Hope to have you back on board again soon for another solid day on the water!

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.
