Salty Hooker Charters
Salty Hooker Charters
Salty Hooker Charters runs daily out of Cape Charles Harbor in Cape Charles Virginia, 23310. We fish the lower Chesapeake Bay wherever the bite is on. Captain Jon will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing on the lower Chesapeake.
Your fishing adventure starts on a 28’ Grady White 282 Sailfish. There are plenty of places to sit and store your belongings. The lower cabin has a sitting area and table, and an enclosed bathroom. For cold weather fishing we have an enclosed helm area and cabin with a heater.
Smoking and alcohol are allowed.
All fishing licenses required, fishing poles, tackle, bait, and the ice for bait and fish is Included in the price. So you can focus on what really matters, fishing. The crew will clean, fillet, and bag your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.
Book your trip now and hit the water with Salty Hooker Charters.

Top Notch Charter
The Salty Hooker is an excellent charter boat. It checks all the boxes for my wife (clean head etc.) Plus it's immaculate and has plenty of space. Captain Jon is very personable without being overbearing. He made sure that my wife was comfortable throughout the trip. We arrived a little bit late but he still allowed us to fish in the agreed amount time (5 hours). In fact, because fishing was slow (no fault of Jon) I noticed that he gave us a little extra time. When in the area I would definitely look to book his services again.

No fish but great day
We went to several locations and the fish were not biting. The Captain stayed past the time to try to ensure we got fish. But the day was beautiful. We slipped on about 3/4 fish that we could not get on the boat by simple mistakes. However we caught a shark.

Salty Hooker is worth the trip
Capt Jon was nice, knowledgeable and great to spend a day fishing with. He knows the water in the Lower well. Good gear, plenty of bait and puts you on fish. We’ll be seeing him again for sure. Thanks Jon.
