Captain Jake did an amazing job for my family and I. I would highly recommend him for an unforgettable fishing experience. We caught enough fish to feed my group of 7 for 3 excellent meals while on our stay here in Marathon.

We had the best time ever! Captain Jake did a great job getting us on fish - worked his butt off for us. Very accommodating and the pineapple was awesome! Would recommend Saltnsun to anyone.
