The boat slips away from the public dock as late-afternoon heat gives way to a clean coastal breeze. Salt Therapy’s low wake carries small talk and cooling drinks while the shoreline slides by—white sand, palm-fringed condos, and the long shadow of Clearwater Pier. Dolphins arc ahead of the bow, curious and lit from below by a sky that steadily deepens to tropical color.

Bring canned drinks only
BYOB is allowed but many charters restrict glass—pack cans or sealed plastic to avoid fines and broken glass on deck.
Arrive early to board
Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes before your pickup location so the captain can brief your group and depart on time.
Protect against sun and wind
Sunscreen and a light windbreaker are useful—the sun is strong until it sets and the breeze sharpens after dusk.
If you get seasick, plan ahead
Even in calm Gulf conditions, bring motion-sickness meds if you're prone—dolphin chases can add unexpected movement.
Sunglasses with strap
Keeps glare under control during bright late-afternoon sun and stays secure on a moving boat.
