If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!

From the moment we booked with Salty Bowline Charters, the customer service was outstanding. We had a scheduling mix-up, and the owner went above and beyond to make everything right. That level of customer care alone impressed us, but the fishing trip itself exceeded every expectation.

Captain Trentin and first mate Jack were phenomenal. They worked incredibly hard all afternoon to make sure my son and I had the best possible experience.

Our adventure started with an unforgettable surprise a school of dolphins swimming alongside the boat! It was the perfect way to begin the trip.

Not long after, Captain Trentin found a school of giant jack crevalle, and we caught 10 fish over 30 inches! They put up an unbelievable fight and had us smiling from ear to ear.

Then my son caught a Bonita, which we used as bait…and that’s when the trip turned into something we’ll be talking about for the rest of our lives.

We hooked into a huge bull shark!

It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

This wasn’t just a fishing charter it was one of the best memories my son and I have ever shared together.

If you’re looking for a charter in the Florida Keys, stop searching and book with Salty Bowline Charters. Captain Trentin, first mate Jack, and the entire team are first class. We can’t thank them enough for giving us a day we’ll never forget.

We will absolutely be back!

We went fishing last week with guides Trentin and Dalton and had a fantastic time. Trip included myself, my wife, my 14 year old daughter and 11 year old son. Both guides were incredibly knowledgeable, excellent teachers with great patience with us amateurs and most importantly they know how to find the fish! We went 3-4 miles out and were quickly reeling in yellow fin after yellow fin! I can’t say enough about the personalities of our two guides. We loved learning about them and hearing their passion for guiding.
We were also fortunate enough to meet Nick the owner who was beyond gracious and inviting. Great guy to chat with! Lastly, I highly recommend arriving early or staying after and hanging out at the boat dock (private club) that comes with the booking. There was a beautiful back area where the boats dock surrounded by mangroves. We saw manatees, nurse sharks and other interesting fish. The place has a shady pool and a bar!!! We will absolutely be back next chance we get. Do yourself a favor and book Salty Bowline today!!!
Best money you will spend in the Keys!

We have done quite a few fishing charters, but our time with Salty Bowline was probably one of the best we have ever done. The Caymas they run is absolutely beautiful and top of the line. We were in comfort the entire time even in some wind and chop! Trent was our Captain joined by Jackson and they were such great guys! We loved there spirit and personalities so much! They busted their butts for us getting us on bait to use for the day and always getting us on fish at almost every spot we visited! Jackson kept our lines baited and great conversation going as well! We are already planning another trip for maybe summer or fall back to Islamorada just to fish with these guys! Thank you all for the wonderful time and we can’t wait to come back again!

Trent and Dalton are fantastic. I brought my two teenage daughters out for their first Tarpon trip and had a blast. We caught fish most importantly, but Trent is great and very patient with young anglers. Dalton expertly put the boat in and out of gear, lol. We will definitely be back. Trent also offers the opportunity to book a night trip and half day back to back to fish overnight which would have been fun to do had we known it was available but it’s just not apparent on Fishing Booker. Thanks fellas and I highly recommend!

Five of friends including me fished with Trent Leary, Captain of the boat. We caught fish and had them prepared at two different restaurants for our dinner. The restaurants were recommended by our Captain. Trent is very knowledgeable of the area, we were confident on his decisions and recommendations. His boat was clean, the equipment was as in perfect order and his attitude was always in our best interest. My friends and I highly recommend Trent as a Captain and a fishing guide. We will fish with Trent again in the near future.
