Salty’s Water Sports Boat & Jet Ski Rentals

Salty’s Water Sports runs its Fort Pierce operation from Causeway Cove Marina, the same protected basin where the Fort Pierce Inlet opens into the Indian River Lagoon. The business offers a genuinely wide range of ways to get out on the water, from brand new Sea-Doo jet ski rentals to full boat rentals and guided tours, which makes it a good fit for almost anyone visiting the marina looking for a water based outing, whether that means a fast paced afternoon on a jet ski or a slower guided cruise built around spotting wildlife.

The dolphin tours are a particular draw. The Indian River Lagoon supports a resident dolphin population, and guided tours from operators who know the water tend to report sighting rates in the neighborhood of 95 percent, which is a strong track record for wildlife viewing on any body of water. Guides are USCG licensed, and the company emphasizes a streamlined process for jet ski rentals, including on-site licensing that can typically be handled in about fifteen minutes, which matters for visitors who want to get out on the water quickly rather than spend half their trip on paperwork.

Sunset cruises round out the tour offerings, giving visitors a lower key way to experience the lagoon as the light changes over the water, a genuinely beautiful time of day along this stretch of the Treasure Coast. Pricing starts at roughly $99 for jet ski rentals, $249 for boat rentals, and $299 for guided dolphin or sunset tours, putting a range of experiences within reach depending on budget and how much time a visitor wants to spend on the water.

Salty’s has grown beyond a single location, with a presence across several Treasure Coast communities including Jensen Beach, Port St. Lucie, Sebastian, Vero Beach, Stuart, and Hutchinson Island in addition to Fort Pierce. That regional footprint reflects real success as a locally rooted business, though it does mean the operation is larger than the smallest single-location outfits along this stretch of coast. It remains an independently owned company rather than a national franchise chain, built specifically around the Indian River Lagoon and Treasure Coast waterways rather than a template rolled out across unrelated markets.

For anyone staying near Fort Pierce’s beaches or downtown waterfront who wants an easy, well organized way to get out on the water without owning a boat or jet ski, Salty’s offers one of the more turnkey options in the area. The combination of new equipment, guided options for less experienced boaters, and a marina location with quick access to both calm lagoon water and the open inlet makes it a solid choice for a range of visitors, from thrill seekers wanting jet skis to families hoping to see dolphins up close.
