Salty D's Charters is a charter operator based in Spring Hill, Florida that offers guided fishing and scalloping outings on local coastal waters.
The business provides three primary trip types: Inshore / Backwater Charters, Nearshore / Inshore trips, and Scalloping Charters. Inshore / Backwater Charters focus on shallow-water species such as red fish, snook, trout, and mangrove snapper. Nearshore / Inshore trips expand opportunities to target species commonly found a bit farther from shore, including mangrove snapper and sharks. Scalloping Charters are structured as a 4-hour excursion where participants use provided masks and snorkels to harvest bay scallops in season.
Salty D's Charters supplies all gear, bait, and required licenses for its trips so guests can concentrate on the experience. For scalloping trips, masks and snorkels are provided; for fishing trips, rods, tackle, bait, and licenses are included. Guests are asked to bring a small cooler with drinks and snacks or refreshments to stay comfortable during outings. Trip descriptions clearly state what is provided and what guests should bring, helping set expectations before booking.
Operating from Spring Hill, Salty D's Charters serves anglers and families seeking guided access to Florida’s inshore and nearshore waters. The combination of defined trip types, equipment provided, and straightforward guest preparation makes it easy to select the right charter for fishing or scalloping in the Spring Hill area.
