    Exceptional experience!

    4 Hour Trip – Reef • 6 adults • 2 children

    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!

    Great Fishing Trip

    Near shore fishing • 6 adults • 2 children

    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.

    Tough day of fishing made successful

    8 hour (Full Day )Reef Trip (8-4pm) • 5 adults

    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!

    Family memories - hooked and landed

    6 Hour reef Trip (8am-2 pm) • 5 adults • 1 child

    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.

    Captain Jake is the BEST!

    4 Hour Trip – Reef • 2 adults

    We had an amazing day on the water with Captain Jake! We chose a reef and wreck trip after having a tough day on the water with another charter. From the start Jake was enthusiastic and funny, and made sure everyone caught fish and had fun! We hooked into a Grouper (back to the ocean :)) and a 200 pound shark. Our boys are still talking about how much fun they had, and asking when we can go back to fish with Jake. Highly recommend.

What's biting with Saltnsun in Marathon

The rain finally eases off in October, and the temperature drops back to a sane 85. The Tuna are at their height this time of year, with Yellowfin and Blackfin biting well offshore, and the Tarpon and Snook are still filling up the shallows.
