Hi, my name is Jeff Maggio. I’ve spent years fishing and exploring this stretch of the Atlantic Ocean. Fort Lauderdale is where I grew up, fishing its vast waterways for tarpon and the elusive snook.
Growing up, my family had a second home in the Bahamas on Great Abaco Island, which allowed me to spend countless hours on the water perfecting my bait and tackle techniques. My father, Joe Maggio, founder of Salt Shaker Custom Yachts, taught me how to fish for blue marlin, tuna, and swordfish from an early age. Fishing is truly in my blood.
Today, I’ve turned my passion for sport fishing into a successful saltwater charter business, giving others the opportunity to experience the excitement of battling big game fish.
Our mission is to provide an unforgettable day on the water while pursuing some of the most powerful and sought-after fish in the world. We understand what it takes to create a once-in-a-lifetime fishing experience, and we’ll do everything we can to make that happen for you. RTD!
