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!!

Best Time with Captain Joe - Joe is extremely personable, charismatic and knowledgeable. We had the best time with him and will both be highly recommending him to others and be back to ride with him again.

Great tour and awesome service - Capt Joe was great, could not have had a better person show us around and loved the flexibility to adjust our trip. We had such a great time and we’re fortunate to get up close and personal with some Manatees at Egmont Key! Also really great to have a personal dolphin spotter onboard, thanks captain Joe and Kelly

Awesome experience - We had so much fun on this tour!! Captain Jon was an excellent guide and answered all of our questions about the wildlife and just about St Pete in general. He also took pictures of us while we were out in the water and kept on the lookout for dolphins and other animals. We loved our experience!

5 star +++++ - Captain Jon did an outstanding job navigating the bay and the gulf. We saw dolphins and manatee and various other wildlife during the tour. Our captain was knowledgeable about the area and also an outstanding captain of the boat. This is a first rate experience and absolutely worth every penny. Best tour in St. Pete area by far!
