Mauro was so cute, friendly and very patient with my very impatient son. We booked because my son is just becoming interested in fishing and I’m always looking for the next great shell, plus I wanted to snorkel. He offered everything. Mauro was very upfront that the snorkeling would depend on the weather and no false promises were made. Unfortunately, for us, the tide was a lil too strong and we couldn’t do it. It was nice he was concerned about our safety and not just our money. We spent a lot of the time fishing. We caught (and released) some small fish, a catfish and 2 baby sharks. Mauro had to bigger sharks hooked, but they chewed right through the line and off they went. We headed over to Keewadin Island. I didn’t allot much time there because the experience was primarily for my son to fish. I found a couple cool shells. It was also neat to see baby stingray swim right along the shoreline. We come to Marco Island a couple times a year, so we’ll definitely use him again. Mauro also keeps his boat very clean. It was a fun morning. Seeing the pure joy on my 7 year old face was everything.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for choosing Salt and Sunset Charters for your family's morning on the water! It was truly a pleasure having you and your son aboard. Watching a young angler catch fish, chase the next great shell, and light up with pure joy is exactly why I love what I do. I'm just sorry the current didn't cooperate for snorkeling, but safety always comes first, and I'm glad we still made it a fun and memorable trip. Since you make it to Marco Island a couple of times a year, I'd be honored to have you all back on board. The adventure is far from over,hopefully we'll do it all again very soon! Thank you again, and tight lines! Captain Mauro
Our family of six ranging from 7 years to 57 years old booked the sunset/sightseeing cruise. On top of experiencing one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen, we also saw numerous dolphins playing in the water next to the boat. We also stoped at a small island where the kids got to search for beautiful seashells. The boat was very nice and clean. Booking was simple and easy. The captain and skipper were amazing! They made us feel welcomed and were very accommodating. We will definitely book with them on our next trip to Marco Island!
We had an amazing time with Salt and Sunset Charters! Captain Mauro was great and made the experience so enjoyable. The boat was very clean, the sunset was incredible, and seeing dolphins made the trip even more special. Everything exceeded our expectations. It was one of the highlights of our Marco Island vacation, and we would definitely book again. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much, Malerie! It was truly a pleasure having your family aboard. We're so happy the sunset and the dolphins made your trip special, moments like those are why we love what we do. Thank you for choosing Salt and Sunset Charters and for taking the time to share this wonderful review. We'd be honored to welcome you back on your next visit to Marco Island! Captain Mauro
