The best birthday - Great time as always, thanks Joe! Great birthday celebration and my doggy had the best time! Really recommend the sunset cruise for birthday evenings!

Wonderful Private Boat Tour with Captain Maureen! - Excellent 3-hour private boat tour with Captain Maureen. She was great fun, knowledgeable and expert Captain. Highly recommend this charter for a couples fun activity :)

A great trip for the family on Vacation! - This trip exceeded my expectations in every way! The quality is outstanding, and the boat is extremely nice. The customer service was top-notch, and the entire experience was very laid back and accommodating. Highly recommended!

Saw them this time! - Had an amazing experience ! Captain Joe is not only very knowledgeable of the surrounding wildlife, homes, and many islands. We put the pressure on Captain Joe telling him we have been shut out seeing dolphins on other tours. Captain Joe did not disappoint. we saw MANY dolphins and he even got a large pod of them to follow our wake a couple times. You can't go wrong with these Tours. Can't wait to go back again!

Always amazing - Had the absolute best time with Salt and Mist Sea Tours. This is our 3rd time with and are never disappointed. If ever looking for a boat tour while in the Tampa area I can't recommend them enough. The views are amazing and there is a lot of wildlife to see. It's always a ver fun and relaxing trip and I can't wait to go again!

Terrific boat tours guided by an amazing Captain - We have taken many private boat tours while on vacation, and can definitely say that Captain Joe's tours are among the best. We were so impressed with the daytime tour, that we took the sunset tour on the same day. Both were fantastic. Captain Joe is one of the most personable, knowledgeable, friendly and witty persons we have met. Just a really nice guy with so much information to share, and very thoughtful and accommodating to his guests. His boat is a well maintained and comfortable Sea Ray that can take up to 6 passengers. We wanted the boat all to ourselves, which simply required that we purchase an extra ticket, which was more than fair. Other companies would have made us pay for all 6 seats rather than just 3. My wife had never seen manatees in the water despite numerous prior boat trips, so at our request Captain Joe took us to spots where he thought we could see them--and we saw plenty. We also saw many scenic sights during the rest of the daytime trip. And unlike the scripted and sometimes boring narratives you hear on a large tour, Captain Joe provide absolutely fascinating and interesting information, all delivered with a nice sense of humor. At night we saw baby dolphins for the first time (on other trips we had seen only the adults), then a beautiful sunset and some amazing homes. Captain Joe knew exactly where every celebrity currently or previously owned a home. At night it's much cooler on the water than in the evening. Not to worry because Captain Joe has comfortable blankets if you get chilly. I was fine in a short sleeve shirt and shorts, but my wife did use the blanket. At the end of the sunset tour Captain Joe dropped us off at the dock of a waterfront restaurant that he recommended, and we finished our evening with a wonderful dinner. I used to own a boat myself, and was very impressed with Captain Joe's seamanship and water safety awareness. Plus he was just fun to to be with. My wife and I definitely would take his tours again the next time we are on vacation, and we recommend his tours to anyone who wants to have a good time on the water.

Dophin tour - Amazing dolphin cruise, saw a Dolphin family up close, best experience on a boat in my life! Captain Joe was very helpful and we were lucky to find this tour!

Best dolphin, island and sunset cruise experience!! - This was the highlight of our time in St Pete! Salt and Mist Sea Tours gave us the GREATEST experience, BEST TIME EVER!! So many dolphins , beautiful islands and a sunset to finish our trip, so amazing!!

Our Florida Finale!!! Best Ending Ever!!! - Captain Joe was top notch! I immediately sensed his passion while inquiring about the tour on the phone and knew we had to book the trip! First and foremost, you are in very safe hands! Captain’s Orders are to leave your worries behind and be in the moment. Marine life was plentiful: dolphin, shark, and manatee sightings! My favorite part of the tour was shelling by the islands / keys. Left three sand dollars richer!!! We were amazed by how many celebrities have homes in the area as we floated past their gorgeous neighborhoods!!! The bridges were equally magnificent in architectural beauty!!! This was not just a boat ride…it was an experience tailored to you, and Joe was more than a captain…he was our friend for the day!!! If you like personable, knowledgeable, and experiential all in one, book this tour with Captain Joe!!!

incredible experience with Salt and Mist Sea Tours! - this was the highlight of my trip to St. Petersburg! Captain Joe and Salt and Mist Sea Tours went above and beyond, showing us beautiful homes, tons of dolphins and marine life and a stunning sunset over the Gulf! This is hands down the best Boat Charter company in St. Petersburg, thank you for such an amazing experience!!
