Awesome Experience!
3 Hour Sandbar - Cruise - Dolphin on July 15, 20262 adults3 children

Get Salty Charters was super accommodating for our family of 5. They adjusted our boat ride to a fishing experience the day before our reservation and everything was wonderful. The boat was so nice and clean, Cameron was super professional and knowledgable, and oir boys had an awesome time. We cruised, swam and collected shark teeth, fished, and learned about the Siesta Key area. Thank you for the wonderful time and memories!

2 Hour Sandbar - Cruise - Dolphin on March 26, 20264 adults

We had a very enjoyable cruise today. Did not know anything about "Get Salty Charters" before booking. We were all (4) of us very happy with the pontoon boat and the captain Cameron. Two hours on the water was more than enough time to enjoy a very pleasant cruise with a knowledgeable captain who is a native to the area. We definitely will book again with "Get Salty Charters". Thank you.

Truly enjoyable!
2 Hour Trip – Sunset Cruise on April 16, 20264 adults

Four of us met Captain Hibbs for a sunset cruise. His boat is new, clean and comfortable. Captain Hibbs took us on a tour around the keys, pointing out important information and answering all of our questions. We stopped at a clear viewing point to watch the sunset. It was perfect and we all had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend.

3 Hour Sandbar - Cruise - Dolphin on June 19, 20266 adults

We felt very fortunate to have Captain Logan take us out on our charter. He was attentive to our safety, while showing us a great place to swim. We were interested in the local wildlife, and he found several pods of dolphins, water birds and we searched for manatee. A lovely day!
