Book with David Reaves
Salty Native Fishing Charters offers light tackle and bow fishing charters in and around Panacea, Florida. These waters are known for some of the best inshore and offshore fishing possible. There are varieties of fish in the area so you won’t want to miss out on the opportunities available here. Captain David Reaves is a full-time guide who has fished these waters for over 23 years. He is passionate about what he does and is keen to teach you his skills.
Your boat for the day is a spacious 24’ Carolina skiff boat. You’ll zip away to the fishing grounds while being propelled by a 150 HP Yamaha engine. It can comfortably allow 6 anglers to fish together. You’ll use top-of-the-line navigational electronics to target your species. There’s an ice-box for your catch and a fighting chair to help catch your fish.
Aside from that, there’s also a smaller boat for a smaller group. Board the Salty Fins 2. She can accommodate 3 anglers at the same time. She’s powered by a 115 HP Yamaha engine and like the other has top-of-the-line navigational electronics.
Anglers of all levels are welcome and the captain will be only too happy to help you develop the skills to reel one in. There’s nothing Capt. David likes more than to see the joy on someone’s face when they make their first catch. All rods, reels, bait, lures, and light tackle are provided so that you’re in the best position to reel one in. These trips are truly made for all ages and all skill levels.
All you need to bring is a fishing license, sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Feel free to bring your own food and drinks and keep them in the captain’s cooler.
Mark your calendars and enjoy a trip with Salty Native Fishing Charters!

Fished with Captain David for two days. He was fantastic. He was kind and patient with my family and worked hard to put us on and keep us on the fish. We thoroughly enjoyed our fishing trips and strongly recommend you have David take you out.

Capt David took my granddaughter, my grandson, 2 of her friends and myself out on a choppy day as a gift for my grand daughter's high school graduation. She will be studying marine biology this fall, with a passion for sharks. He put us on the sharks, and everyone had an exciting day! Thank you, Capt David!
