My son and I recently completed a perfect half day fishing charter with Captain Scotty Darna of Saltyboy Charters. Captain Scotty met us at the Green Flash Restaurant dock on Captiva. He arrived early so we left early and in a few minutes we were in the Gulf headed to where he thought we’d find fish. Oh boy, did we ever! For the next three hours we caught dozens and dozens of snapper, grouper, porgies, Amberjack and others! At the end of the afternoon he flayed our catch which we took home and enjoyed for dinner.
This was the best day of fishing I’ve ever experienced. Not only was catch great but so was the boat and the Captain. I would heartily recommend Saltyboy Charters for a totally great day!

Captain Scotty is patient and very skilled. On a tough day where fish were uncooperative he put us on a bunch of mangrove snappers we caught enough of for a tasty dinner and some grouper that were a ton of fun to catch.

This was our first inshore trip, having fished near-shore in the panhandle and offshore in the Atlantic. We had so much fun! We will absolutely book again with Captain Scotty @ Saltyboy Fishing Charters.

Great time fishing, caught a variety of fish, couple snook, few lady fish, bluefish, grouper, Spanish mackrel and hooked a 4-5 foot shark shock we fought for 20 minutes of so then broke off. Three had a great time, Scotty is very personable and worked with everyone well. I would recommend him for sure, after all it’s all about catching fish!
(I think he was as tired as me after listening to the kids jabbering all day then having to clean fish!)
Overall very happy!

This was the best fishing action day of my life. I caught probably 30 fish including snook, redfish, jack, barracuda, and a saltwater catfish. And had another 6 break offs. Due to conservation restrictions none could be kept, but I didn’t care. His boat was purpose-built and perfect for this type of trip.
Capt. Scotty is a fine young pro who has a friendly easy going manner.  I enjoyed my time talking with him. My charter started at 9 and my first snook was in the boat at 9:13. People it does not get any better!

My son and I had an awesome time.  We were constantly catching fish.  Scotty knew where they were!  You can tell he really enjoys his job, since he was as into this, as we were.  Great personality, we learned so much about fish and the general area of where we were.  Would highly recommend this charter—he is the best.
