Captain Melvin and co-captain Frog were the absolute best in class! Went Gulf Stream fishing which was tough due to weather, but Captain Melvin shifted to make sure we had a blast. Hammered the bottom fish even with extreme currents. We all went home with lots of fish, a great story and a fantastic time. Second year with Salty Hooker and already booked our third! Extremely fun crew and very knowledgable and safe. They consistantly put you on fish no matter the conditions. We came home with one of us having a new nickname...."Sprinkles", which will stick for the rest of his life with an amazing story behind it! This team really provides life long adventure memories that can't be beat! They really are the best of the best. Book with them and you won't regret it!

Being 4 others went out fishing on Monday with Melvin and Ava, and I can't say enough good things about them.They made the trip so much more fun explain everything to us talk to us. The whole time made us laugh, caught tons of fish. We thought we made some Fringe while we were out there and we did\n We come down here once a year, never year. This was our first time on salty Hooker's charter. And I'll say this, I'll be there next year.100%, looking forward to it.Five stars

Captains Austin and Melvin are incredible and run truly run a top tier charter. Even with conditions being rougher than forecasted, Austin and Melvin had us on fish all day; whether it was the early morning troll or mid-day bottom fishing bites, lines were tight and these guys were working nonstop to keep putting fish in the boat. I’ve been offshore plenty of times with a bunch of different captains, and the Salty Hooker crew is definitely at the of that list. I can’t recommend them enough and I’m looking forward to getting out and fishing with them again.+5

Just call you will thank me later. When booking I called to get some information spoke with the owner/captain Austin. He explained everything which was great because it was just my son & I also our first time going offshore. Nice dealing directly to the captain instead of AI or office/booking person. So it was just us two so we went on the 26’ Austin second boat under captain Melvin. Melvin was awesome he was great with my son & I enjoyed hanging out with him while fishing. Learn a lot has he answered anything you ask. Yes he puts you on the fish just hold on. Look I can go on & on but not. Melvin kicked ass we had a blast will be coming back in fall to do Gulf Stream & king mackerel. Both captains are awesome & know what they’re doing. Difference is boat size. Can’t go wrong just book. Thanks Melvin/Austin Salty Hooker!+2

We had an absolute blast on our 5-hour trip! Captain Austin and first mate Jack were fantastic from start to finish. They both had great personalities, kept things fun the entire time, and were incredibly helpful whenever we needed anything. We caught a ton of fish and an awesome variety of species, which made the trip even more exciting. You could tell they really knew what they were doing and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great experience. If you're looking for a fun, professional charter with a crew that genuinely enjoys what they do, I can't recommend Captain Austin and Jack enough. We'll definitely be back!+0

Had an awesome day on the water with Captain Austin. He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked hard to keep us on the fish all day. We caught some great fish and had plenty of action throughout the trip. One thing that really stood out was how enjoyable the whole experience was—not only did Captain Austin put us on fish, but he also had a great playlist going that kept the atmosphere fun and relaxed. The boat was well-kept, the fishing was productive, and the overall trip exceeded expectations. If you’re looking for a captain who knows where to find fish and makes the trip enjoyable from start to finish, I highly recommend Captain Austin. We’ll definitely be booking another trip!+5

I’ve been on two salty hooker charters now, and each experience has been amazing—led by captain Austin. Austin vouches for the safety of his customers, whilst also ensuring an amazing fishing trip and experience. He is very knowledgeable about the fishing itself, but also does a great job of helping you find success throughout your trip! Can’t recommend Austin and Salty Hooker enough!+1

I booked a half day trip for July 2026 for group...10 yr old and 3 adults. The first trip was canceled due to small craft advisory. Austin stayed in constant contact and we were able to rebook later in the week. Sea still rough but they had a great time and caught some dinner for that night. Austin answered MANY questions and managed boat well and taught rookies how to fish. Ultimate captain and told them everything they needed to know. Equipment top notch..always baited lines. Hope to return soon for another trip.+0

Just a fun filled day of catching some big fish. An awesome experience. Would definitely use him again.

We booked an all day fishing trip with Salty Hooker, ended up on the Real Havoc with Captain Austin and first mate Hunter. One word, INCREDIBLE!!! We caucht more fish than I could have possibly imagined, trigger fish, grouper, sea bass and more. My Neice reeled in a 28lb Grouper, we saw sharks and dolphins, it was amazing. Austin and Hunter were awesome! Took us to some amazing hot spots, were insanely helpful in getting the rods baited and letting us know where and how to drop the lines. I would absolutely highly recommend going on a trip with them if you get a chance, you won't be disappointed! P.s. The music was fantastic too!

Knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and I could easily see them doing great w/ younger kids too. We caught Mahi, Grouper, Trigger, B-Liner, even a Tile fish and a few other species too. Equipment is top-notch...the boat, Wow! The Gulfstream trip was excellent! Respect these guys and hope to fish offshore again w/ them some day. Oh, yeah...lots of fresh, clean fish to eat!

Captain Austin is AMAZING! We were scheduled for a Gulf trip, but the weather didn't cooperate (rough seas). Captain Austin instead asked if we wanted to go as deep as possible or reschedule, we opted to go as deep as we could. We trolled a bit and did some very deep bottom fishing (almost 40 miles out) then as it got really rough, came close to shore to troll for Spanish Mackerel. Caught TONS of fish of varying kind. The 27.5 lb King was the best, and caught on a grouper rig (circle hook and mono line)! The 26' Mako is flawless, bean bag chairs are amazingly comfy on a rough day, and Capt Austin knows exactly where to go to bring the meat home. Highly recommend Salty Hooker! Not flakey at all, kept in contact before the trip and made the absolute best of bad weather. 4 friends went and have booked another Gulf trip for next year with them! We wouldn't have booked again unless that trip was truly epic, and it was! If you want to go and catch fish to eat, Salty Hooker is hands down the best charter out of Murrells Inlet. Capt. Austin also gives co-Capt. Sarah (sp?) huge props and says she is one of the areas best salt water captains as well. Together they are a team that can't be beat. While no one can "guarantee" you catch fish, the odds are definitely in your favor if you chose Salty Hooker as your charter!+1

Such an amazing experience for my fiance and son! Austin was their captain and he was amazing!! They said it was a “catch fest” to the point their wrists were getting tired they were reeling in so much! Definitely recommend if you are looking for A day on the open waters, catching dinner for the night. When you get back with your catch, they will cut it up an send you home ready to cook it up! i’d give more stars if i could! Thank you so much Austin’s for giving my boys a day they will never forget❤️

I had a family emergency, just as my son put his line in the water, we had to return to shore. Even against my request to at least pay for fuel, I was 100% reimbursed for the trip. I rescheduled for another outing, and was not disappointed! Highly, and I mean HIGHLY recommend these folks! However, I wish the King Mackerel were biting better, but that's why it's called "fishing" and not "catching". My son and I are looking forward to booking another charter in the future!Posted on Google![]()

Captain Bob took my brother and I out on the 29’seavee. If I could give more stars I would. From the time we left to dock till we got back, my brother and I were full of questions and he answered every single one, from choppy waters, how the bottom fishing was going to react, to the speed of trolling and why, he was extremely knowledgeable and an absolute wizard at his craft. We will be booking with this charter again.+1

Captain Austin was a great captain! He did his best to ensure we had a great experience. He was kind, courteous, and attentive and he played the best music! My nephew's 40 lb Kingfish was the catch of the day. You know it's a good one when your captain even gets excited! We did the 5 hr afternoon charter with six people (not counting the captain) and highly recommend you do the same (although, story has it the morning may be a better time to do some real catching.) We caught several small fish, saw some dolphins, caught some bottled water (😂) from our friends, and saw some pelicans. What are you waiting for? Get. Your. Fish. On!+12

Finding the perfect gift for my dad, who seemingly has it all, proved to be quite a challenge. But let me tell you, the deep sea fishing charter with Salty Hooker Fishing Charters did not disappoint. As a Father's Day gift, it turned out to be an absolute gem. Under the expert guidance of Captain Austin, we embarked on an unforgettable voyage. And let me tell you, our catch exceeded all expectations. We reeled in a remarkable haul of 20 spadefish and 4 Spanish mackerel. It was a gift that truly kept on giving, offering us endless excitement and creating cherished memories. With Captain Austin's exceptional skills and the sheer joy we experienced at sea, this adventure will forever hold a special place in our hearts. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and my dad was absolutely thrilled.Posted on Facebook![]()
