    I brought a team of customers in today and Eric made our trip amazing. We had a blast fishing together and he even set up a restaurant to cook our fish three ways for dinner for our group. Also wish I knew about the camp before booking our house. Ask him about it. We will be staying there next time for sure.

    Took a fishing trip with my dad and brother this week with Captain Eric! Definitely a worthwhile experience and one we won't forget. He taught us the tips and tricks and before long we were all catching Redfish left and right! We were even able to take what we caught to a restaurant to have it cooked the same night. Can't wait to get back to Louisiana and get out there again! Thanks to Saltwater Therapy and Captain Eric for an incredible time!

    Captain Eric was awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable. If it weren't for Capt. Eric fishing might have been tough. But he put us on the fish and we caught a bunch and then some. Pre trip I told him that I was coming from Hawaii. I had not planned on keeping any fish. He suggested several restaurants. We made arrangements with GW Finns for a catch and cook. Capt. Eric knew where the fish were hiding and we caught a cooler full. He was not only knowledgeable but just a fun guy to talk and hangout with. I would do it again in a heartbeat and highly recommend.

    I had an absolutely fantastic experience with SaltWater Therapy and Captain Eric! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captain Eric truly knows how to make a fishing trip unforgettable. From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made sure we had everything we needed, with a full array of fishing poles and gear ready to go. His expertise and guidance throughout the day were exceptional, and he ensured that our group had the best time possible. Not only did Captain Eric make the trip enjoyable, but we also had incredible success out on the water. Thanks to his knowledge of the best fishing spots, we caught an abundance of fish, making it a truly memorable day for all of us. If you're looking for an outstanding fishing adventure with a friendly and skilled captain, I wholeheartedly recommend SaltWater Therapy and Captain Eric. It's an experience you won't want to miss! -Jackson, USN

    Captain Eric did an awesome job watching some horrible weather. We showed at the pier at the “new” time and the weather became perfect. Both of my daughters hooked AND caught their first reds on the very first cast!!! Capt had to be on both sides of the boat. My wife is still crying about the sea monster she lost at the side of the boat. Luckily a little later in the day she caught a “bayou donkey” that made up for it. Even when the tide wasn’t right this man found fish. Always a good sign when his phone is ringing off the hook from other guides looking for help. Eric is friendly, a great communicator, has a fast and safe boat - plus he knows where the fish are. I will fish with him every time I am in the area.

    My husband and I went out with Captain Eric and it was better than we had even anticipated. Although the weather was pretty chilly out on the water he got us into some beautiful spots and we caught some huge redfish. Trip of a lifetime! And then we took the captain’s advice and had our fresh catch cooked at GW Fins and it was delicious. We are hoping to make the trip again next year. Would highly recommend going out with Captain Eric!!

    Captain Eric was wonderful! We had a friendly competition going with another boat full of our friends and Captain Eric found all the honey holes. Needless to say, we kicked butt! And he kept us laughing while we did it. He had patience with a boat full of novice fisherladies. Highly recommend booking Captain Eric!

    Wanted to give Capt. Eric and Saltwater Therapy Charters a shout out, lots of action on the trout and redfish! Great time with my Dad, we will definitely book again!

  • 5/5 Tim K. 2 years ago on Google
    Took my daughter out for a little fishing with captain Eric. We had an amazing trip. He has a great boat and takes care of everything. My daughter actually had to take a break because she was catching so many her arms were tired. It was such a memorable experience. The second part of the day was taking our fish to GW Fins in New Orleans and they prepared it four different ways. It was such an awesome dinner. Thank you captain for that recommendation! Can’t wait to come back and fish again with you.

    Great trip out of Shell Beach yesterday with Captain Eric Olsen. Maxed out on beautiful redfish with my son Stephen and his UT buddy Benton Brown. Thanks Capt. Eric.

  • 5/5 Tanner G. 1 year ago on Google
    Would recommend to anyone looking to book a chartered fishing trip out of New Orleans. Despite suboptimal weather conditions, he put us on multiple schools of fish. Additionally, he was very responsive and helpful in setting up all the details surrounding the trip.

  • 5/5 Chris W. 10 months ago on Google
    Capt Eric put us on some trout! Was a rough day fishing but we kept moving until we got on a good bite. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Jon D. 9 months ago on Google
    Captain Eric worked very hard to keep us on a bite. It was a great day of fishing. I will absolutely call him when I come back to New Orleans. It’s worth every penny. He also set me up with a beautiful restaurant that made my wife and I dinner with the fish we caught.

  • 5/5 Karla S. 10 months ago on Google
    Capt Eric definitely put us on the fish on our charter trip!! The boat ride was awesome and the scenery was gorgeous! As a newbie to fishing, he helped show me how to bait the hook, and more importantly how to reel them in! Wasn’t sure I would enjoy fishing very much, but the experience I had had me wanting to do it more often! Great experience and highly recommend Capt. Eric and Saltwater Therapy for your charter trip!

    Eric Olsen is an excellent Charter Fisherman! He has some kind of sixth sense with the fish. I could tell he knew what he was doing but have zero clue as to how he knew exactly where they would be. My family had a blast fishing and joking with him! We caught the most fish I’ve ever caught in my life! Good times

  • 5/5 dylan e. 1 year ago on Google
    Captain Eric will put you on the fish! I would highly recommend taking a trip with him. I literally hooked into a nice red my first cast of the day. I will be making another trip in the near future.

  • 5/5 Corey R. 1 year ago on Google
    Captain Eric did a fantastic job of putting our group on fish in multiple locations. We had a great time and look forward to going again.

    Second time out with Cap'n Eric and Saltwater Therapy Charters over Thanksgiving weekend. Little did we know how spectacular it would be! Cap'n Eric is extremely friendly, prepared, and knows where to find fish, big fish! I will include some pics of what we caught. We are regulars for life!

    Captain Eric did a great job putting us on the fish and we filled the cooler up with Red’s and shell crackers!

    We went on a Bachelorette fishing trip with Captain Casey and Eric and it was the highlight of our trip. They were incredibly engaging, accommodating and helpful. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!!

  • 5/5 Kenneth N. 2 years ago on Google
    I speak for myself and three other people our trip was amazing the full moon had the fish off a little bit but captain Eric made it happen he pulled out all the stops to make sure we enjoyed every minute of our trip I enjoyed it so much I’m planning a family trip and another guys trip this coming month

  • 5/5 Chris G. 9 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I can honestly say, by far, this is the best guided saltwater fishing experience for speckled trout I’ve ever been on. Captain Eric is second to none from start to finish including arranging housing accommodations just a couple minutes from his boat slip. If you want to catch fish, and enjoy a hassle free trip, Captain Eric is your man!!!!! Proof is in the pudding…. See pics

    We cannot say enough good things about Capt. Eric. His boat is clean and modern. He has a great attitude, knowledgeable, and provides the best equipment to catch the big fish! He took us directly to the fish and we limited out within 1 1/2 hours. We highly recommend anyone looking for a great fishing experience to book with Capt. Eric.

  • 5/5 Sophie M. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    A true 10/10 fishing experience! We went as a family fishing trip not knowing what to expect and the trip surpassed all our expectations. Captain Eric was perfectly organized and a joy to fish with. Two people in our party were inexperienced and Captain Eric went above and beyond in making the trip fun for everyone. He helped them with baiting the lines, casting, and collecting our fish. I cannot say enough good about the entire experience, I highly recommend using Captain Eric and Saltwater Therapy along with their recommendations from transportation to dining!

    Had an amazing time!! Capt Eric was a true professional and showed the group an amazing time. We got on Reds all day long! Coming out from the West Coast, my expectations were exceeded. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Thanks again!!
