Austin is the best captain, we came from a different state conditions were terrible for off shore 8-9 ft waves at 7 sec . That didn’t deter my favorite captain , he took us near shore we had the best day fishing and very. We caught 30 to 70 lbs bull reds and plenty of them . He then took us king fishing and blue trolling . We caught so many fish that our arms hurt . Many would have quit before it was started , Austin did not . Wouldn’t even charge us . This is the best charter we have ever booked . If you want a great experience best money you’ll spend anywhere .

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.

Is a deposit required?

Yes, a 15% deposit is required to lock in your date. The remaining balance is due the day of your trip.

What’s included in the trip?

We provide all rods, reels, bait, tackle, licenses, and safety gear. Just show up ready to fish.

What should we bring?

Bring sunscreen, food, drinks, and anything you want for the day. Soft coolers work best. Polarized sunglasses and a hat are highly recommended.

How far offshore will we fish?

We typically travel anywhere from 3 to 70 miles offshore depending on the trip you choose and the species we’re targeting.

What kind of boats do you have?

We run a 34' SeaVee and a 26' Mako—both set up specifically for offshore fishing, safety, and comfort.

What kind of fish can we catch?

Offshore fishing out of Myrtle Beach offers a wide variety of species depending on the season, water temperature, and how far offshore the trip goes. Anglers commonly catch pelagic species such as mahi mahi, wahoo, blackfin tuna, sailfish, and marlin when fishing farther offshore in the Gulf Stream. Closer to the reefs, wrecks, and ledges, bottom fishing produces species like grouper, snapper, black sea bass, triggerfish, amberjack, and cobia. Additional species you may encounter include king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, barracuda, hogfish, spadefish, tripletail, jack crevalle, and a variety of sharks. Each trip is different, but our waters are known for producing both great-eating fish and hard-fighting game fish year-round, giving anglers of all experience levels an exciting and memorable day on the water.

Can we keep the fish?

Yes! Any legal fish you catch is yours to keep. We’ll clean and bag it for you at the dock.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If conditions aren’t safe, we’ll reschedule your trip or refund your deposit. The captain always makes the final call for safety.

Where do we meet?

We’re located at Marlin Quay Marina in Murrells Inlet, just a quick drive from Myrtle Beach.
