Our Tours

Pick your morning on the water

Four trips, one boat, never more than your group aboard. Every one leaves the crowds at the dock.

The Salt Difference

Small boat.
Big morning.

Discover. Explore. Relax.

Big tour boats stay in the channel and count heads. We run a shallow bay boat with your group only, and go wherever the tide and the dolphins are that morning.

01

Only your group aboard

Every trip is private. No strangers, no shared schedule, no waiting on the slowest boarding line.

02

Inches of water, not feet

A shallow-draft hull noses onto sandbars and barrier-island beaches the big boats have to pass by.

03

A captain who reads today's tide

Local, USCG licensed, and out here most mornings. Knows where the shells piled up last night and where the dolphins are feeding.

The Vessel

Navy hull.
Inches of draft.

A center console bay boat built for exactly this water. Shade overhead, cushions up front, and a hull that slides onto sandbars the big boats have to circle.
