The boat tours and rentals here get consistently high marks from families and groups looking for a fun time on the water. Captains like Ken and his crew earn regular praise for their entertaining commentary, music, and especially the dolphin watching trips. The service department really stands out too, with staff going above and beyond to help boaters with mechanical issues quickly and professionally. Rental bookings are described as smooth and straightforward. There are a couple things worth noting. One guest raised serious safety concerns about reckless driving near swimmers, which is definitely alarming. Accessibility is also an issue despite what's advertised, with one wheelchair user unable to board after checking in. If you're renting a pontoon, know that beaching isn't allowed and you'll need to navigate lengthy no-wake zones that can eat into your rental time. Most captains get rave reviews, though experiences vary. Overall though, the operation runs smoothly with friendly staff and well-maintained boats that keep people coming back.
We had a fantastic experience renting a boat from Salty Sam’s Marina! The staff was incredibly helpful and very friendly from start to finish, making the whole process smooth and enjoyable. We rented the 20-foot Pro-Line, and the boat was in great condition—everything worked perfectly. It was clean, well-maintained, and easy to operate. We had a great time out on the water and really appreciated how affordable the rental was compared to other places. Overall, it was a great value and a great day—highly recommend Salty Sam’s Marina if you’re looking for a fun and stress-free boat rental!
