Charters

All Salt Cracker Charters trips depart from the Clearwater Beach Marina, conveniently located just minutes from the white sand beaches, hotels, restaurants, and attractions of Clearwater Beach. Our central location makes it easy for both vacationers and Tampa Bay residents to begin their fishing adventure.

Not at all. Our Clearwater fishing charters are designed for anglers of every skill level, from first-time fishermen to experienced offshore anglers. Salt Cracker Charters’ captains and crew provide instruction, assistance, and all the equipment you need to enjoy a successful day on the water.

Each private charter accommodates up to six guests. Because every Salt Cracker Charters trip is reserved exclusively for your group, you'll never share the boat with strangers, allowing you to enjoy a customized fishing experience with family, friends, or business associates.

Fishing opportunities change throughout the year, but depending on the season, anglers commonly target grouper, snapper, kingfish, amberjack, shark, Spanish mackerel, and other Gulf species. Visit our Salt Cracker Charters Fishing Reports page for the latest information on what's biting.

Every Salt Cracker Charter includes an experienced captain, quality fishing equipment, bait, tackle, fishing licenses, and fish cleaning after your trip. Simply bring your food, drinks, sun protection, and a camera to capture the memories.

Yes. One of the unique advantages of fishing with Salt Cracker Charters is our catch-and-cook experience. After your charter, we'll clean and fillet your fish so you can take it to the nearby Salt Cracker Fish Camp, where the restaurant can prepare your fresh catch for lunch or dinner.
