My daughter and I wanted to go fishing and I found Mark. I called and set up a trip during the week…read morewe were visiting Florida. I read the reviews and Marks responses. I've been to Florida on two other occasions and until we went with Mark I had not caught a keeper fish. I've fished all my like and there is a reason they call it fishing and not just catching. I mostly bass fish and it's very common to move from spot to spot to find fish. This was Mark's tactic. We went out several mines and I'll say we caught a very nice day and it wasn't rough. My daughter was the first to catch a keeper and from there she went on to have a stellar day. Mark provided an awesome day. Great service and a lot of conversation. Mark had different spots and he worked hard to get us on fish. It should be noted that he has a gps driven Minolta trolling Moyer that will keep his boat on a spot without an anchor. Saves a lot of time in moving between spots because he didn't use an anchor. The electronics were second to none and I felt very safe. If you want a personal or small family fishing experience I recommend Captain Mark. So ask the best question. Would you go fishing with Mark a second trip. Answer. We are planning on it. Thanks Mark for an awesome day of fishing and catching. Tom

On a recent trip to the Port St. Lucie area, my father chartered a boat as a late Christmas gift to…read morego fishing off the coast. All things considered, I enjoyed my time out on the water with my family, but thought that the overall service lacked a personal touch that would have elevated the experience. The Captain / Service: This is where I was the most disappointed. If you are taking money to have us on your boat, you need to be a 'Tour Guide of the Seas'. Although I am sure that some people look to get out on the water for peace and solitude, I am also looking for an experience in both a knowledge, and educational-sense. I am not from the area, so I want to know everything there is to know about the area and the adventure we're about to embark on. When he was asked a question, he answered in his monotone, unenthusiastic tone which seemed to say, "Leave me alone", more than, "Sure, let me be helpful and enhance this experience for you." Honestly, reflecting back a little more closely now, he was almost entirely useless. I could have Googled how to do the few things he showed us. We would have been equally fine ...if not better...without him. Another issue...when we were travelling from one spot to another - a good 15 minute ride - the wind and weather was whipping in a way that constantly sprayed me and was getting me very wet. Not a little damp, which I can handle...as I'm on a boat...legitimately wet. It was unseasonably cool in Port St.Lucie that weekend. So being wet in 59 degree weather with no sun shine is not a comfortable feeling. Do you think he offered me to stand under the canopy with him? Nope. Instead I relocated up front to try and get out of the spray, but he through a tantrum because 'too many of us were in the front' and it could damage the boat. I am not arguing that point, what I am upset about is your lack of customer service. Lastly, we are out on the water for 5-6 hours and you don't have complimentary bottles of water -- after all that we've paid? Ummm... Captain/Service: 2 / 5 Boat/Gear: The boat had seen better days. It was by no means ragged, but it had cracks in the interior, ripped fabric and trimmings, and an overall look that made it obvious that the boat's best days were quickly becoming a distant memory. In terms of the gear, all seemed OK; but on two separate occasions we had a massive hit on one of our 'trolling' poles -- the one where we attached live bait and attached a 'buoy' of sorts. On both occasions, the line snapped. Once? Ok. Twice? That gets me thinking. Furthermore, the second time it happened, I told the dude that I think the fish 'took everything'. He dismissed me like I had no idea what I was talking about. Then, an hour later, we reeled it in to find the line snapped... Boat/Gear: 2 / 5 Fish: Unfortunately, we did not catch too many fish. On a relatively cool day, this made the trip a little bit more disappointing. We caught some small channel catfish, a couple of 'Porgis', and a couple very small sea bass. The three of us combined for about 18-20 useless fish that were pointless to take home, even though we took 2. This is not necessarily the fault of the Captain, as fishing can be a spotty-sport in terms of success. Though, I feel as if between the missed 'big catches', and the excessive lack of success, that there is a correlation that can't be ignored. Fish: 2 / 5 Final Thoughts: I loved being out on the water with my dad and brother. Wish it was just us though, because the Captain was entirely useless. I would not recommend this company. Yes, some of my complaints may seem 'nit-picky'. But they all add up. All I could think the whole time was how 'I could do a much better job', with regard to service and overall experience. Just seemed to be an extreme lack of personal touch. Maybe my expectations were just to high...

I typically do not leave negative reviews unless there is a legitimate issue, especially because I…read moream a small business owner myself and understand that problems can occasionally happen. Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing because of how the situation was handled after the issue occurred. This was our second time renting from Salty's Water Sports in Fort Pierce. Our first experience was excellent, which is why we returned. The staff previously had been welcoming, helpful, and professional. This trip, we rented a Sea-Doo pontoon boat to take the family out to a nearby sandbar and cruise the Intracoastal. During the walkthrough, I noticed the check engine light was on and pointed it out immediately. The employee reassured me everything was fine. However, once we left the dock, the boat would only travel about 6-7 mph, even after trying different modes including Sport Mode. We still made the short trip to the sandbar so the kids could enjoy some time there. Following the staff's recommendation not to beach the pontoon due to the engine, we anchored offshore safely. After about an hour, we attempted to continue cruising, but the boat still would not exceed 6-7 mph. My wife called the office to make sure we were not missing a setting or operating it incorrectly, and the employee instructed us to return to the dock. At that point, we were already about two hours into a four-hour rental, had barely traveled anywhere, and the fuel gauge still showed essentially full because the boat was not functioning properly. I approached the situation respectfully and calmly. I was not demanding a full refund or trying to be difficult. I simply asked if we could either receive: * A two-hour voucher to use when we returned in two weeks, or * A partial refund for the lost rental time. The dock staff was apologetic and initially offered another boat plus extended time, which I appreciated. However, by then it was already late in the afternoon, and restarting the process would have cut heavily into the remaining time. Since we genuinely enjoyed the overall experience and planned to return anyway, I again asked for a simple future-use voucher instead. Unfortunately, once management/ownership became involved, the interaction became far less customer-focused. Every request for a reasonable accommodation was denied, including waiving fuel charges despite the boat barely being used and the fuel gauge remaining essentially full. What disappointed me most was that the focus shifted from resolving the issue to defending the business. There was also conflicting communication regarding what my wife had supposedly been told over the phone, despite her only speaking with a male employee who instructed us to return to the dock. To make matters more concerning, after leaving I noticed multiple pending charges on my card, including two separate charges of $345.13 plus an additional pending charge of approximately $750. I now have to spend additional time sorting through the billing situation to ensure there was not an incorrect duplicate charge. I fully understand that equipment problems can happen in any business. The true test is how those situations are handled afterward. I was simply asking for a reasonable solution after receiving a pontoon boat that could only travel 6 mph. Had this been handled differently, Salty's likely would have earned repeat business from our family for years to come. Based on this experience, I unfortunately cannot recommend renting a pontoon boat from Salty's Water Sports.
