Great company and wonderful time. We did the dolphin tour and it was a great mix of seeing the…read moredolphins and time to play around on the jet skis. They were well maintained and ran perfectly.

I typically do not leave negative reviews unless there is a legitimate issue, especially because I…read moream a small business owner myself and understand that problems can occasionally happen. Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing because of how the situation was handled after the issue occurred. This was our second time renting from Salty's Water Sports in Fort Pierce. Our first experience was excellent, which is why we returned. The staff previously had been welcoming, helpful, and professional. This trip, we rented a Sea-Doo pontoon boat to take the family out to a nearby sandbar and cruise the Intracoastal. During the walkthrough, I noticed the check engine light was on and pointed it out immediately. The employee reassured me everything was fine. However, once we left the dock, the boat would only travel about 6-7 mph, even after trying different modes including Sport Mode. We still made the short trip to the sandbar so the kids could enjoy some time there. Following the staff's recommendation not to beach the pontoon due to the engine, we anchored offshore safely. After about an hour, we attempted to continue cruising, but the boat still would not exceed 6-7 mph. My wife called the office to make sure we were not missing a setting or operating it incorrectly, and the employee instructed us to return to the dock. At that point, we were already about two hours into a four-hour rental, had barely traveled anywhere, and the fuel gauge still showed essentially full because the boat was not functioning properly. I approached the situation respectfully and calmly. I was not demanding a full refund or trying to be difficult. I simply asked if we could either receive: * A two-hour voucher to use when we returned in two weeks, or * A partial refund for the lost rental time. The dock staff was apologetic and initially offered another boat plus extended time, which I appreciated. However, by then it was already late in the afternoon, and restarting the process would have cut heavily into the remaining time. Since we genuinely enjoyed the overall experience and planned to return anyway, I again asked for a simple future-use voucher instead. Unfortunately, once management/ownership became involved, the interaction became far less customer-focused. Every request for a reasonable accommodation was denied, including waiving fuel charges despite the boat barely being used and the fuel gauge remaining essentially full. What disappointed me most was that the focus shifted from resolving the issue to defending the business. There was also conflicting communication regarding what my wife had supposedly been told over the phone, despite her only speaking with a male employee who instructed us to return to the dock. To make matters more concerning, after leaving I noticed multiple pending charges on my card, including two separate charges of $345.13 plus an additional pending charge of approximately $750. I now have to spend additional time sorting through the billing situation to ensure there was not an incorrect duplicate charge. I fully understand that equipment problems can happen in any business. The true test is how those situations are handled afterward. I was simply asking for a reasonable solution after receiving a pontoon boat that could only travel 6 mph. Had this been handled differently, Salty's likely would have earned repeat business from our family for years to come. Based on this experience, I unfortunately cannot recommend renting a pontoon boat from Salty's Water Sports.

We decided to check this short harbor cruise out as it looked like a lot of fun with the tiki vibe…read moreand we were not disappointed! The meet up place was easy to find, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We only had 10 people on our cruise so it took the smaller of the two boats which I don't think made much difference for the overall experience, but was nice to have the smaller group of 10. The tour went by the lighthouse and north of the inland waterway past Jupiter Island, with our helpful captain, pointing out many of the celebrity homes along the way. It was a lovely way to spend a couple hours on the water and the all you can drink beers and seltzers didn't hurt, lol! Please note if the tour you've signed up for doesn't have at least six people you will be moved to another tour, which is what happened to us and we didn't realize we were only getting a two hour tour when we had paid for a three hour tour until it had already started. Seems like there was a little bit of disconnect in the information sharing, but we still had an excellent experience and would definitely come again when visiting the area.

Excellent evening boat excursion up the inlet waterway. A group of us brought snacks and enjoyed…read morethe complimentary drinks. The crew was friendly and very helpful throughout the cruise. This is a great idea for taking the out of towers friends and family. If you have a big enough group of people, the price isn't so bad. If you have a smaller group I would suggest getting the individual tickets. It was a fun day in the water.

Miss fort pierce honest review…read more Went out. We chose fort pierce for the online reputation and location. Being fort pierce and being in a place where the water gets deeper faster we expected to fish more than 90 feet. Max depth was 89 or so feet. Rental rods were nothing to write home about but they were functional. Bait selection was limited. Live bait was not available for purchase. Deckhands/ mates were mixed bag. One gentleman was phenomenal. The other was not so much. The aforementioned original first mate put extra emphasis on a young angler who was on his first day. Fantastic to see. The second mate however chose to repeatedly open the cooler on the back of the boar during moves that anglers were leaning on instead of asking them or saying "excuse me", just forcing the lid open, practically shoving people. I understand that the cooler is operating equipment but there is no where else to be fishing the stern and this was not during fishing where it would have been sailly to be standing there. There is no seating available for individuals fishing the stern spots. The inside spots fill up fast as the cabin fits about 9 people and those sitting on them had their gear on the other seating around the boat. So those fishing the stern are just screwed in that regard. Could have brought a bucket or a chair if it was mentioned, but they did not disclose this. I have some concerns about the volume of fish they claim to catch on a good day because the fish sorting system and coolers for catch do not reflect any regular large hauls. 4 keeper fish were landed on a full boat. Granted that can happen but there are other factors in play. They supposedly restrict the amount of alcohol that can be brought to maintain "a family environment " but also had nothing to say about several people smoking right next to children. No food on the boat. Understandable for its size. Worth mentioning, They do not allow trolling. Which some Such party boats do. The images on the website of the restroom facility's are somewhat overstated. Those images must be old and the bathroom didn't even have soap in the dispenser at 7AM Unfortunately my takeaway is that this charter doesn't specifically put stock in any one angle and unfortunately if the fishing doesn't co-operate it ends up being a bit of a dull day. Of all the charters from fort pierce to Orlando they all charge the same but Miss Fort pierce is the only one that doesn't include food. All in all we picked this charter for geographical location and fishing potential and we felt that they didn't perform beyond what a regular party boat would do. Best part of it all was the friendly deck hand. Other than that I don't have much else to talk about. I feel that at the same price point as other charters this one doesn't have a distinct draw other than maybe the small size.

I've been out on Miss Fort Pierce several times this summer. If you're in the area, I highly…read morerecommend taking a trip. Although, the fish were few & far in between, this past trip, due to cold water on the bottom, Captain Scotty moved the boat a few times to give his customers the best chance possible to catch a fish. The captain and his mates are always very welcoming and friendly. They're attentive at all times which was especially helpful being I had minimal experience previously. Whether you catch a fish, or not, it's always a pleasurable experience.
