Our Story

The Atlantic Dolphin Experts

How a love for the Indian River Lagoon and its dolphins became the Treasure Coast's most trusted dolphin tour company.

Salty's Water Sports team on the Indian River Lagoon near Hutchinson Island

Born on the Indian River Lagoon

Jet Ski Dolphin Tour started with a simple observation: the Indian River Lagoon near Hutchinson Island is home to one of the densest populations of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins anywhere on the East Coast — yet most visitors to Fort Pierce, Vero Beach, Port St Lucie, and Jensen Beach had no idea.

As part of the Salty's Water Sports family, we've spent years learning every inch of the Indian River Lagoon — mapping dolphin feeding routes, identifying resident pods by their dorsal fin markings, and understanding the tidal patterns that drive dolphin behavior.

That deep knowledge is why we maintain a 95% dolphin sighting rate, year-round. Our USCG-certified captains don't just hope to find dolphins — they know exactly where the resident pods will be, what time they'll be feeding, and which channels they'll be traveling through on any given day.

Today, we're proud to be recognized as the Atlantic Dolphin Experts — the most reviewed and highest-rated dolphin tour company on Florida's Treasure Coast. With over 500 five-star reviews and 10,000+ happy guests, we've earned our reputation one unforgettable tour at a time.

The Indian River Lagoon is our home and our livelihood. We actively support lagoon restoration efforts, participate in waterway cleanups, and educate every guest about this precious ecosystem.
