An absolutely phenomenal experience. I was committed to seeing some dolphins and Captain Joe did not let me down. He made it a magical! Boats can sometimes scare me and he made sure I was safe and felt safe without me having to say anything. He is SO knowledgeable about… well, everything 😂 he has a true passion for this and it shows. Looking forward my next time here.
Captain Joe is the real deal! We had a memorable day on his beautiful boat. He knows these particular waters inside/out which made us feel safe right away. We saw dolphins, turtles, sharks and so many birds. He brought us to this paradise island to pick shells, our kids were so happy. His music and vibe were on point, exactly what we had prayed for. Joe, thank you for your heart and frequency, we will call you back for another fun day next time we’re in town 🙏💫
Captain Joe is the best sea host I've ever had, regardless of vessel. Everything about this experience was perfect? I called before booking the trip and he explained everything perfectly and helped me pick the perfect setup for me and my wife. We did a sunset cruise and saw amazing sea animals, beautiful islands, notable buildings/celebrity houses, you name it. He made sure to check on us throughout the entire trip. He made sure to take plenty of pictures and videos of us, which are all instagram-post-ready. I know that when I come back to Tampa I will be looking to hang out with Captain Joe. I question anyone who could go on his beautiful boat, which he cleans intensively, and not walk away feeling better about life. 5 star experience.
Captain Joe was incredible and he his boat is very nice and well maintained. He was so good with our kids and made it an unforgettable experience for our family. He was very thorough with the safety plan/info and laying down ground rules to make it a smooth adventure and also keeping things light and fun. We saw manatees, sharks, dolphins, jumping fish, big shells, and captain joe made sure the kids walked away with shark teeth. I HIGHLY recommend Salt and Mist Sea Tours. You won’t regret it.
Captain Joe showed us a great time! We initially booked a sunset cruise but the weather made conditions unsafe. We were able to meet the next morning. Captain was flexible and accommodating. Just a great human—kind and funny. His boat is meticulously clean. We had a wonderful day on the water and saw sting rays, dolphins, and a sea turtle. He’s committed to ensuring his guests have a good time and as a bonus he’s really knowledgeable about the area, islands and sea life. Highly recommend.
