Capt. Joe is that guy. We had a BALL on the water with him. He was kind & considerate, ensured we understood our safety equipment and options in the event of any scary weather, was knowledgeable about the area, and a generally dope dude! Go ahead and book it, y’all

My husband and I had an amazing time on our boat tour with Captain Joe. He was so friendly, personable, knowledgeable and accommodating. We had a mix up with our ride to meet Captain Joe. He went out of his way to help us and made us feel comfortable. We took videos of so many dolphins! Saw beautiful homes and cool bridges! We can’t wait to return for a sunset boat ride.

Amazing way to start your Florida vacation. Captain Joe shared his extensive knowledge of the area's natural history, sea life, and islands throughout the trip. Can't wait to hang out with Captain Joe again for our next trip!

Do yourself a favor, AND BOOK IT!Our 3-hour private boat tour was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, it was an incredible experience. Our captain was fantastic—he was not only professional but incredibly knowledgeable about the area. His passion for the environment and wildlife really shone through, and he made the tour both informative and fun. The boat was immaculate, and it was clear that he takes great pride in maintaining it.We had the unique opportunity to see dolphins up close, which was a highlight of the day. We also spotted some sharks, which was an exciting bonus! One of the best parts was being taken to a secluded spot where we could pick shells along a beautiful, quiet shoreline. It was a hidden gem, away from the crowds.I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an intimate, personalized, and truly special experience on the water.Thank you, Captain Joe!

Captain Joe is very personable, friendly, outgoing, and trustworthy. Me and my mom felt very safe on board. He offers valuable information about the Tampa & St. Pete area, including the islands and beaches. I appreciated him letting me DJ the music on board. He also took plenty of great photos for us. He was polite enough to ask if we’d be comfortable with continuing further out into rocky waters and was happy to avoid them when we declined. We saw a great sunset and a few dolphins. 100000/100000 experience. Book with Captain Joe!

My friend and I had a fantastic time on an afternoon boat tour with Captain Joe! He was friendly, considerate, safe, and knowledgeable about the area. We saw numerous dolphins, both from a distance and jumping right behind the boat. Getting out on the water in the sun was the perfect way to start our long weekend vacation!

Captain Joe is the best, very personable, his boat is immaculate, he cares about his passengers making sure they’re comfortable and makes sure to exceed their expectations! He is incredibly knowledgeable of the area and had all of us engaged-from our five year old to my husband and myself. He made sure we got the most out of our experience from seeing manatees, dolphins, sharks, and was incredibly determined to make sure our five year old had the time of his life. Captain Joe is incredibly talented at what he does, to the point our three year old fell right to sleep and took the nap of his life. The boat ride was the highlight of our vacation!

Highly recommend Salt and Mist Sea Tours!! Wish I could give more than 5 stars!!Captain Joe is incredible! He is such a kind soul and is so knowledgeable about the area and the Florida wildlife. Our 3 hour boat ride had us gasping at dolphins and birds, with a quick peak at a shark fin. The boat ride was filled with great music and lots of laughter. Enjoyed a quick stop on an island to soak our feet in the water and collect a few beautiful shells, while eating lunch. Looking forward to one of the sunrise and sunset tours next. If you’re looking for something memorable and relaxing to do while on vacation, or even for us locals to unwind, you definitely need to book one of his many tour options. You WILL NOT be disappointed!
