Welcome to The Saltwater Hook Up fishing charters. Join us on a memorable fishing charter experience. Whether it’s from the waters of the tarpon capital of the world, Boca Grande, or further north to the largest saltwater estuary of Great Tampa Bay waters (St. Petersburg’s, Clearwater, Tampa, Anna Maria, Apollo Beach, Bradenton, Tierra Ceia), we have every waterway covered. Just let us know where you would like to fish, and we will make it happen!

Captain Rich Andretta will be at the helm while you search for trophy catches. Capt. Rich specializes in trophy fishing from the crystal clear waters of inshore fishing to the deep blue offshore waters chasing after the all-mighty Silver King Tarpon, monster Snook, Redfish, Gator Trout, smoking Kingfish, tasty Cobia, prehistoric Tripletail, Sea Permit, and any other big game species that is sought after.

Your fishing charter journey takes place on the custom 25 ft. Marauder Marine Avenger Bay boat powered by a quiet 250hp Suzuki four-stroke outboard. The Avenger 25 is known as "the ultimate bay boat" worldwide for being the number one custom bay boat builder on the Tampa Bay waters along the West Central Coast of Florida. She is equipped with a hard-top t-top tower giving Captain Rich and his anglers a competitive height advantage to stalk and chase down the fish. The t-top tower also provides shade, giving us a place to hide on those hot summer days. The boat is equipped with a 10 ft. blade Power Pole shallow water anchor (allowing us to stealthy get in position without the fish being spooked), a 112lb i pilot Minn Kota trolling motor (to sneak up quietly on the fish), and Raymarine electronics (to safely navigate and find bait/fish on the bottom). She has Bluetooth capabilities to allow you to listen to the music of your choice throughout your trip.

We offer 4, 5, 6, and 10-hour trips that provide you with rods, reels, tackle, lures, bait, and a fishing license. We will clean and fillet your catches for you to enjoy as a meal after the trip. We practice a variety of fishing techniques including bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, drift fishing, fly fishing, jigging, spinning, trolling, and light tackle fishing.

We host fishing charters for all types of anglers whether you are a novice or experienced angler. Captain Rich is a great teacher and will have any angler up to speed in no time! The Saltwater Hook Up host Tampa fishing charters or Boca Grande fishing charters for corporate and business events as well. There is no job big enough that we can’t handle. Fishing charters are also a great way to spend a family day that every angler will never forget. Don’t miss out! Book a trip with us today!
