FAQ
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.

This was our second year fishing with Captain Nick, and once again we had an incredible trip. My son Tyler is now six, and he has literally been talking about fishing with Captain Nick for the past year. Captain Nick has become one of his favorite people, and getting back out on the boat with him was something Tyler had really been looking forward to. Nick has always been incredibly easy to work with, accommodating with scheduling, and just genuinely great with kids. He has a way of treating Tyler almost like one of his own, making sure he is involved, having fun, and getting the most out of the entire experience. As a parent, that means a lot. We had another fantastic day on the water, and Tyler came away with even more memories and stories to tell. Captain Nick goes well beyond simply taking you fishing—he makes the whole trip special. We really appreciate everything he has done for Tyler over the last two years and are already looking forward to fishing with him again next year. Highly recommend Captain Nick and Salt Cracker Charters, especially for families and kids.![]()

Capt Mike and Adam were great. They worked very hard to make sure our group caught fish and were great hosts on the boat. We pulled in fish non stop at a couple spots. It was very comfortable for the ride out and ride in. Plenty of shade and a restroom were a huge plus. Boat is clean. The crew was great and we’ll fish again!![]()

Highly recommend Salt Cracker Charters. Nick & Adam were on the ball, knowledgeable, and patient with us as beginner fishermen. We had an amazing action-filled day that included catching Barracuda, Goliath Grouper, and various other species of Grouper & Snapper. Would highly recommend these guys for your next Clearwater Fishing Trip!![]()

Had an AWESOME experience on the Salt Cracker Charter. Captain Nick and first mate Adam were very knowledgeable and helpful as it was only my second time boat fishing. I caught 10 fish and all were huge I actually had to stop fishing and take a break to let my arm rest from back to back to back catches. Highly recommend. Worth every penny. Definitely coming back!![]()
