Over the last decade, SALTWATER SOLUTIONS has emerged as a significant platform for people in
the commercial fishing industry who need honest and helpful support.
Robert Pender has been involved in the industry for over 20 years, first working as a decky and
then as owner operator in the Gulf N3 and C1 fisheries.
If you are thinking about entering the Qld Commercial Fishing Industry you should contact
Robert to have a chat. If you are an established operator Saltwater Solutions can assist with
leasing quota, licenses and with sales of licenses, quota and vessels.
We are more than happy to help by pointing you in the right direction regarding Govt Agencies
and helpful contacts such as transport companies, buyers and marketing options.
There is a lot going on behind the scenes so if you have a boat to sell but don’t want it
advertised we’re good at that. Just call, we have a lot of people looking and your boat might be
just what they want.

We have been dealing with Rob now for several years in leasing quota both in and out. We have always received a fair price and paid a fair price based on the current market circumstances. What we like is that he doesn’t try to take advantage of market fluctuations to wring every last cent out of a trade for either buyers or sellers and this makes trading far less time consuming and it balances out over time. His advice on how to ‘meet the market’ to get a successful trade is usually spot on too, which means less time dealing with tyre kickers and more time focussing on business.

We dealt with Robert Pender at Saltwater Solutions. Great experience. No hassles.

I have been working with Robert and Maria for about 5 years now managing my business and no matter what I have needed done they have been there to help. If I have a problem this is the first bloke I call and have absolute confidence in his knowledge and ability to get the job done.

We were introduced to Rob (Saltwater Solutions) back in 2018 while heavily involved in the N1-N2-C1 fishery on the central qld coast. Rob was the founder of (That’s Wild), an initiative to promote the sustainable harvest of fresh wild caught seafood. Recently we have moved into the A1 fishery. Dealing with Rob has made our transition simple and thorough. Rob’s unmatched knowledge of the QLD commercial fisheries has ensured we get the best possible service and advice with a no nonsense approach.
We fully recommend utilizing the services of Saltwater Solutions for any purchase/lease of fishing licenses, symbols, quota and vessels.

I’ve known Robert Pender for a number of years, since the start of The Fishermens Portal (ed: The Fishermens Portal Inc. was registered 29/5/2013) and in this time he had demonstrated his honesty, integrity and professionalism beyond reproach. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any prospective clients

I have used saltwater solutions for several years now, and have found Robert to be very honest and knowledgeable in his field. Highly recommended.

I don’t mind giving Saltwater Solutions a review it’ll be five star!!
