Zach showed up at the dock already having loaded up the live well with shrimp. We spent the next 4 hours constantly pulling reds, black drum, and trout. I would not hesitate to recommend him to experienced fishermen or for those just looking for a harbor cruise. Could not have had a better time on the water.

July 11, 2025

Zack is very knowledgeable and knows where to go to get the fish. You'll have a day of catching, not just fishing!

Catching many nice fish is the first thing you’ll do, touring Charleston, and having the highest quality experience doing it, is next. This is the charter you dream of taking. Don’t hesitate to book a trip! 5/5 stars for me.

July 11, 2025

Awesome experience with Saltbreak Charters, Zach, was very knowledgeable on the water and brought in some great red fish. Besides a little disruption from "the damn yankee" (LOL); We will definitely be using him again on our next trip.

July 11, 2025

Absolutely awesome day!! If you get the chance have Zach take you out!
