On the Salt is a Pensacola-based charter operator offering fishing trips, private cruises, and sightseeing tours on Pensacola Bay and the northern Gulf. The company provides a range of trips from short inshore outings to full-day offshore charters, including specialized experiences such as Blue Angels practice viewing and private Crab Island cruises. Trips are staged with clear departure times when provided — for example, 8 Hour Offshore trips depart at 6:30 AM and the 12 Hour Offshore runs from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM — and some experiences offer flexible departure and return times, like the On The Salt Bundle.
On the Salt focuses on small-group experiences, with certain charters accommodating up to six passengers and the bundle comfortably carrying up to five guests. Fishing trips include bottom fishing opportunities for species such as red snapper and grey trigger, and trips are equipped with appropriate gear for offshore and inshore angling. Private cruises prioritize comfort and convenience with amenities that may include restroom access and space for onboard grilling during visits to destinations like Crab Island.
The business serves anglers, families, and groups celebrating special occasions, offering curated days on the water for birthdays, anniversaries, team outings, and leisure cruises. Emphasis on professional scheduling, clear trip descriptions, and dedicated vessel use helps deliver reliable, memorable excursions. On the Salt operates in well-known local waters, providing guests direct access to fishing grounds, sandbars, and waterfront sights. Bookings are typically private charters tailored to each group's preferences and scheduled year-round for flexibility.
