Chasing sunsets and rainbows - Very pleasurable experience watching the sunset and catching a rainbow as a bonus. Clean, safe, and easy.

Captain Chris did a great... - Captain Chris did a great job of explaining different sights along the way and got us out in the gulf to see a beautiful sunset! On the way back we stopped at One Tree Island and got some great photos! We had a really great time!

Hire a Local Captain and Don't Think Twice! - Instead of getting on a crowded boat with dozens of strangers, go out with a local captain who owns his own boat and focuses entirely on you and your family. Captain Chris is a Florida native and a U.S. Coast Guard–certified captain who knows the Clearwater waters inside and out. He’s friendly, communicates clearly, and genuinely wants you to have a great experience. Salt Therapy is a comfortable boat that’s perfect for a family, and Chris tailors each trip to the conditions and to what you want to do. A memorable experience from start to finish. Highly recommended.

The Proposal Boat - The private sunset cruise was fantastic. Captain Chris made the whole experience easy and stress free for a group of 4 from Chicago. In addition, I proposed to my Girlfriend with her kids at sunset and it was fantastic. Just the 4 of us and Captain Chris who had no idea I was going to do it until 10 seconds before it happened. He took pictures, had drinks ready for us to celebrate and made it a memorable wonderful experience we will never forget.

Beautiful Sunset cruise - What started as a rainy evening cruise turned into a magical adventure thanks to Captain Chris! We spotted dolphins, sailed under a full rainbow, explored the northern tip of Honeymoon Island, and soaked in a stunning sunset. The night wrapped up with beautiful views of Clearwater and dinner cruise ships gliding across the water.

Great cruise - Chris was a great captain and we had a great sunset cruise! He was social and very personable, but also made sure we were having a great time the whole boat ride! We did not want to stop anywhere so he gave us a great ride around and told us about the towns nearby. Would definitely recommend!
