Captain Brandon is the man—top-notch captain with a great boat! Always a good time on Salty Dog Charters. Highly recommend, 5 stars!

Had a blast! Captain Brandon did an awesome job keeping us on fish all day. We left with a freezer full and smiles all around. Salty Dog is family-owned and operated by truly great people—will definitely be fishing with them again!

Had a fantastic trip with my wife and 8-year-old son! Captain Brandon was efficient, knowledgeable, and put us right on the fish. Highly recommend!
