Inshore & Offshore Charters, Hunting Trips and Scalloping Tours!
Our captain , Shawn Walker, was amazing! He walked us through the whole process, showed us some tricks, and some amazing sights! Including but not limited to: pack o wild dolphins following and playing in our wake, manatees, sea turtles etc. He brought us to some place where he believed the scallops are plentiful and if not took us to another area. As an experienced scalloper for around 11 years he can and will help you find as many as you can hold! If there are low amounts that day/ can’t find many, he will find you two gallons for your family ( the limit per person is 2 gallons of scallops ). Would highly recommend!
Our group of 4 booked a fishing charter with Captain Shawn of Salt River Outfitters, and it turned out to be best charter we had ever been on. We fished from 7am-3pm and caught our limit of trout and gag grouper and caught many other species throughout the day. Shawn is a super nice guy, and taught us a lot about fishing the Crystal River area. When we returned to the dock, he cleaned and bagged all our fish while we sat poolside sipping cocktails at the Plantation Inn…highly recommended!
The scallop fishery is a popular hobby in Crystal River, in season. We used the boat Capt . Shawn Walker, fishing guide, through which the tour took place ( kind, generous with his time, knowledgeable and friendly). For $ 350 we embarked 5 ( 4 adults and a teenager), for a day of 5 hours. Passing through beautiful landscapes, and multiple stops on fishing spots (masks, snorkels and fins included). Great day, good fishing which is then prepared by the chef of the hotel. In the end, a great memory !
Why Choose Salt River Outfitters

I have all the equipment and skills needed for you to have the fishing trip of a lifetime. I’m a specialist in the sport of inshore fishing and offshore fishing. I have fished Professional Redfish Tournaments up and down the East and West coasts of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
Unlike most of the Local Captains, I like to travel to different locations to fish; so if it’s within reason, I can travel to accommodate your fishing needs. Primarily, I fish out of Crystal River, Homosassa, and Yankeetown. So if you want to fish Tarpon Springs, Tampa Bay, Clearwater, Sarasota, or Boca Grande we can do that; a Fuel surcharge and room cost may be applied for destinations in these areas.
If you want to experience the best Florida has to offer for inshore and offshore fishing charters, hunting trips, or scalloping, then look no further than Salt River Outfitters.
