I have been fishing down here for almost 15 years and Dean is my first go to when I want to land pelagic fish!!!! The amount of effort he puts in before a trip matters translates to the success on the water. When we fished yesterday, he had prepared fresh brined Bonita bellies as bait, rather than just using frozen ballyhoo. All of his knots and leader were freshly tied and the gear we fished with was all well maintained. Boat was clean (no smelly fish box) - and his go fast contender got us out... Meer

As soon as I met Captain Dean, I knew we found a winner! The scheduling and booking was super easy. The boat and the equipment is well kept. The music was great, the ride safe, and the fishing was a blast! When we got back to the dock, Captain Dean cut our fish so we could take it to a restaurant. I can’t say enough good things about Salty Dawgs Charters and Captain Dean! They have the passion and the experience. I highly recommend!

Dean and the crew at Salty Dawg were fantastic—I highly recommend them. They used advanced angling techniques like kite fishing, which I hadn’t experienced before. It was awesome to watch, learn, and participate. The team worked hard all day to put us on fish and went above and beyond, even grabbing a coconut from a backyard tree for my 8-year-old son—he loved it! They filleted our catch, packed it with plenty of ice, and made sure we were all set to bring it home. Just great guys... Meer

Booked a full day trip with the Salty Dawgs fishing charter.  It was one of the best experiences we had in Key West.  Captain Dean and his crew are clearly passionate about what they do.  They were super friendly and knew where to take us to find fish.  The boat was spotless, well equipped and comfortable.  They made everything easy from baiting the hooks to cleaning the fish.  Can’t wait to come back next year! Highly recommend!

In spite of the rain enjoyed the double hook up on sailfish. Got to try the kite fishing for the first time with Captain Dean Awesome trip definitely will book again in the future with Captain dean. Thank you for the great fishing experience highly recommended
