OUR STORY
HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Steel salty charters was founded in 2012 by the regionally renowned captain Morgan with one simple mission in mind, to share his love of the great outdoors with others, and provide his clients with the best experience possible on the water. Morgan grew up on the water, fishing, learning the bays, and the best tactics to target the fish within them. Throughout the last 30 years Morgan has fine-tuned his craft, tuning his hobby into a way of life.

As his business grew so did the steel salty crew, with the first addition being captain Colton. Captain Colton is an expert in the Galveston bay complex and specializes in targeting big game fish species, such as shark and alligator gar; as well as table fare species. Colton has demonstrated his skills in the competitive fishing world and has won dozens of fishing tournaments throughout his career.

The newest addition is Captain Rey. After serving in the United States Marine Corps, Captain Rey brought his discipline, leadership, and calm-under-pressure mindset from the field to the water. Fishing has always been a part of his life, but after his time in the military, it became something more—a way to reconnect, reset, and build something of his own.

Now in his second year as a licensed charter captain, he approaches every trip with the same focus and commitment he learned in the Marines: preparation matters, safety comes first, and the mission is making sure everyone on board has a great experience. Whether it’s your first time fishing or you’ve been doing it for years, he takes pride in creating a trip that’s both productive and enjoyable. For Captain Rey, it’s not just about the catch—it’s about time on the water, good company, and giving people a trip they’ll remember long after they leave the dock.
