Capt Jeff is USCG licensed Captain that knows how to target the right fish during the right season. His fishing knowledge was actually inherited from his father Joe Maggio (Founder and owner of Salt Shaker Custom Yachts) moving to Las Olas Blvd during 1977 after 4 seasons of Giant Bluefin fishing out of Cape Ann Gloucester MA.

Capt Jeff has been fishing Ft Lauderdale since 1977 and still lives and fishes downtown Ft. Lauderdale today.

A note from Jeff:
“Hi, my name is Jeff Maggio. I have spent years living on this part of the Atlantic ocean. Ft. Lauderdale is where I grew up, fishing our massive waterways for tarpon and the mysterious snook.

My father (Joe Maggio, founder of Salt Shaker Custom Yachts) taught me how to fish for big blue marlin, tuna and swordfish as a boy. We also had a second home in the Bahamas on Great Abaco island, allowing me to perfect bait and tackle techniques. Fishing is in my blood!

Today, I have turned my passion for sport fishing into a successful saltwater charter business that lets you enjoy the thrill of reeling in big game.

It is our mission to show you a great time catching the most elusive and powerful fish in the world. We understand what it takes to have an experience of a lifetime and we will try our hardest to make sure that happens for you.”
