Plan a multi-day trip that combines several charters (inshore, Everglades peacock, sharks, lobster and more) to target multiple species, planned one on one with Capt. Charles.
Awesome reef fishing trip! Captain Charles is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to show us everything we needed to know to be successful at catching fish! He made sure we all had fun! It was my husband birthday and one thing on my husbands bucket list was to catch a barracuda and Captain Charles made it happen! Thank you Captain Charles for an amazing fishing trip!
Heather C.The best charter we’ve been on! Caught at least 30 fish in 4 hours. Charlie was so helpful and knowledgeable and filleted our fish for us after!
Addy M.Captain Charles took us out for my Birthday cruise and it could not have been better. Chartered out early in the morning and wound up 1/4 of the way to the Bahamas without even noticing it. He was a true professional with an expertise in all of the local fishes, great understanding for all of the proper baits and spots. Trip could not have gone better...
Dominic SMy husband and I started with Peacock Bass our first day, which was a great place to start for a novice like myself. … Not only did we catch plenty of fish, Charles also taught me a lot of tips and tricks, which made me more confident and I had a blast! Our second trip was in the wrecks and reefs. What makes fishing with Captain Charles so different than others, is he’s a diver as well, so he knows the waters well. …
Annika G.My son and I had a great time fishing with Captain Charles. The bite was slow near the mangroves so he moved us offshore so we could continue catching fish. I definitely recommend Charles and look forward to our next trip.
Brian B.Minutes after I booked the trip, Charles reached out to confirm and ask what was important to us so he could tailor the day…
Kathryn S.Awesome guide!! Captain Charles is super chill and knowledgeable on a variety of species. He asked what we wanted, he recommended many options and what was better because he wanted to put us on fish. His boat is amazing with that V8 Yamaha. Caught a lot of fish and he told us exactly what to do! Would definitely come back for another guided trip with Salty Fresh fishing charters!
Samsua TI Came from Seattle to Miami to celebrate my birthday on a fishing charter with me and my wife and I’m really glad I came across captain Charles. Really genuine person and very knowledgeable. Caught few different species from tarpon to snook to snappers. … You have a repeat customer.
Yesenia H.Charles was great with my kids, he helped my 8 year old catch a bunch of fish… We did the reef trip and caught a bunch of grouper, green grunts, snapper…
Michael M.Every trip is a private boat charter with Capt. Charles at the helm. He matches the boat to the fishing: offshore runs, the reef, Biscayne Bay flats or the freshwater canals.
Yamaha 350 · up to 4 guests. Excellent for both offshore and inshore charters, the ultimate luxury experience.

20+ years on Miami water, from offshore and reef to Biscayne Bay flats and Everglades peacock bass. Weather turned? He'll pivot the trip so you still catch fish.
He reaches out right after you book to ask what matters to you, then tailors the day: kids' first fish, a bucket-list barracuda, or a cooler full of snapper. He'll clean and fillet your catch too. Boat, fuel, captain, bait & tackle and fishing licenses are all included.
Departs: Rickenbacker Marina (Key Biscayne) or Black Point Marina (Homestead). See locations
Pick your departure marina when you book; Capt. Charles confirms the spot that suits your trip.
