A 45' Carolina sportfisher with a workmanlike cockpit
The Saltwalker is a 45' Myron Harris sportfisher with a large cockpit — mezzanine bench, bean bags, live well and washdown hookups — and two large Yeti coolers; it has a single modern Cummins QSM11 engine and an air‑conditioned cabin with a full‑size electric head.
Tackle and electronics ready at the rail
Charters supply quality tackle and equipment from brands like Shimano, Aftco, Garmin and Nomad, and fishing licenses are included—so you step aboard ready to fish without having to bring rods or permits.
Experienced co‑captains with local tournament chops
Co‑Captains Bryan and Chris bring more than two decades of combined professional offshore experience, having fished the boat previously in Texas and transitioned it to the Keys in 2021; both have earned podium finishes in local tournaments.
