Salty Paws Charters and Marine Mechanical offers both charter fishing and full-service marine mechanical work out of Gloucester, Virginia, run by owner Captain Brad Scholz, a Navy veteran providing boat services from A to Z. Brad is an Airmar certified installer and handles everything from diesel engine work to air conditioning and electrical repairs, alongside running his own charter fishing business.
On the mechanical side, Salty Paws is a full-service marine maintenance operation for both power and sailboats, capable of handling nearly any onboard system, from air conditioners to zincs, along with boat transport between marinas. Guest and client reviews consistently describe Brad as responsive, straightforward, and generous with his knowledge, often going the extra mile to point customers toward manufacturer service contacts and ensure they’re fully satisfied with the work.
On the charter side, Salty Paws offers fishing trips out of Gloucester on Virginia’s Middle Peninsula, giving anglers access to the Chesapeake Bay’s productive waters. The business is licensed and insured, reflecting Brad’s background as a hands-on, detail-oriented operator across both sides of the business.
For boaters in the Gloucester/Middle Peninsula area looking for a trusted marine mechanic or a local fishing charter, Salty Paws Charters and Marine Mechanical offers a well-reviewed, veteran-owned operation with Captain Brad Scholz handling both sides personally.
