2 Hour Sandbar - Cruise - Dolphin
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.

2 Hour Trip – Sunset Cruise
Captain Jeff was a pro. The weather looked not so promising for our originally scheduled sunset cruise, and he texted me to figure out an alternative. We switched days of the trip without a hitch, and had a blast. It was exactly what we were looking for on our trip to Siesta Key.

Great day and actually getting to Midnight Pass and seeing that clear water now that it is open made my day. I have lived here for 35 years and never expected that it I would see it open. Just fantastic the difference in the water.
