Salty Charters Dare County 

Decided the day before to take the wife and parents out for a morning trip. Capt John called and wanted to know what we were looking to fish for. I had been wanting to go for Drum, and John advised that the conditions probably weren’t going to be favorable for a good Drum bite, so we decided on doing some trolling. We got some rods in the water and weaved around spots where the bite was good. He and his son the mate were very attentive and wanted to make sure we had a good experience. We ended the trip with several decent sized Spanish Mackerel in the well and left happy. Pretty chill trip and pulled out some fish as well

Me and my wife have never been on a fishing trip before and did not know what to expect. Boy did I pick the right captain. He and his mate are very knowledgeable. He put us on the fish right away. Most important is his boating skills. They were top notch. We felt safe the whole trip. Thanks salty waters

we took our two foster sons and our 4 year old is on the spectrum and captain and his son were SO GREAT WITH HIM! our son had a bit of a tantrum at one point but they were so patient and engaged with him! It was such a great experience and they loved it! Really great for families especially if you have any neurodivergent kiddos, they were great! They are still talking about “Captain and Mr. Brad”! Caught some fish and saw some beautiful scenary!

I had an excellent experience with Captain John from start to finish. He was respectful, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable. What stood out most was his willingness to teach and explain things in depth. He didn’t just guide the trip, he made it an opportunity to learn, answering every question with patience and detail. His professionalism and approachable demeanor made the outing both enjoyable and educational. I would highly recommend Captain John to anyone looking for not only a safe and smooth trip but also a chance to gain real insight from someone with deep expertise.

There isn’t a way that I can effectively put into word how great of an experience it was fishing with Captain Jon. He was ready to go by the time we got to the dock and we even got out on the water a bit early. I fish fresh water a lot so I was very out of my depth in salt water and he took the time to explain and teach us the techniques that he uses to fish. The fishing hasn’t been great in the area so he wasn’t able to get us on any fish(to be fair the other captains in the area he was talking to weren’t catching any either but we did get some bait fish which was still fun) but we still had a great time. He was great to talk to and very down to earth, funny and made the experience 10/10! When we come down again next year we will absolutely be booking with him again. He’s going to be our go to!
