Experienced Salty Bottoms with a bachelorette of 20+ girl. What a great time! They brought us to the sand bar with amazing views. Would easily book them again and again!

Captain Chad was the best he treated us like we were family the boat had all types of cool stuff. It was a Bar floating dock. Great Soundsystem, and even a TV the Wi-Fi work great it was just all-around. Such an awesome day Salty Bottom took us to two sand bars. It was the best thing we did while in key west. If you’re looking for a great time at an amazing price give him a call. The first mate was a great kid (we forgot his name) he help us the whole day

Chase Legleitner

Me and my family had an amazing day with the salty bottom crew. Jose and Gino provided us with a great experience and a day we will never forget. Jose took us to exactly where we wanted to go and let us party our hearts out. We all loved it and I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to have a fun day partying on the water. We will definitely look into coming back next year. Thank you guys for the great memories.

Our group of 25 friends did a 4-hour Sandbar trip on Saltybottom boat and had the BEST time! Chad was so great to work with from the moment I reached out to book the trip, to the day of, he made it so easy for us and answered any and all questions I had along the way to ensure our group was taken care of. Everyone in our party could not stop talking about the experience and how much fun we had on the boat and sandbars! It was also so convenient to bring on our own food and alcohol. I would hands down do this every time we visit in the future and highly recommend it!!

We rented the salty bottom for 4 hours and they took us to the sand bar. We had a group of 20 girls for my bachelorette party and it was perfect. Chad and his partner were attentive and so fun. They every arranged transportation for us to and from the hotel. It was one of the best days of my life.

Mia Castagnero

10/10 recommend! We booked this boat for a bachelorette trip and it was the highlight of our weekend. Captain Jose and Gino were so fun and attentive.

Let Chad take you on an awesome adventure with Salty Bottom Boat. He is a down to earth guy with a huge heart and will ensure you and your group have a great time on his boat. Thanks for a wonderful trip Chad. Salty Bottom rocks!

Sarah Loucks

We had about 30 friends in town for our key west wedding so on Saturday we decided on a sand bar excursion with salty bottom boat and it was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip. The Captain Chad and Gino were very accommodating and made sure everyone had a good time, so much that we wanted to go back the next day however that was our wedding day. Chad was very quick to respond. He arranged a taxi service to and from the boat and met us the next day so that we could purchase shirts and hats from him. I highly recommend salty bottom boat for your sand bar trip. We will definitely be coming back and will only use salty bottom boat for our trips!! The pictures do not do justice for the experience we had!!

Briana Stull

Went out for a bachelorette party and had absolute blast! The views were beautiful. The crew was awesome. Everyone had a great time out on the sandbar and while traveling to/back. So glad we used Salty Bottom Boats!

Allison Zacchino

We have been out to the sandbars on a few occasions with Captain Chad and Renata and every time has been an amazing experience! They do everything they can to make our excursions as fun as possible! We just did another sandbar trip yesterday with 18 of our closest friends and everyone kept saying it was one of their best days ever!! Highly recommend this to anyone who wants a chill day in the water!

Linda Patent

Great boat trip! Took us on sunset tour and also a swim at a sandbar. 4 hour tour….we even had rainbow overhead!

Jennifer Ray

We celebrated Thanksgiving on the Salty Bottom. It was perfect. Highly recommend chartering with them. It was a great way to enjoy the sandbar and all that the Key West waters have to offer.

Laura Marzano

Well finally a boat that combines fun and water from beginning to end!! A boat that accommodates big groups of people or just your family or your friends vacation, great and super fun crew ready to cater you throughout the whole trip to the most amazing sand bars of Key West, oh and their DJ ing skills…fantastic…what a blast while in Key West it’s a must!!!

Had a blast on the boat. Chad was very responsive with any questions and helped set up a great day. Highly recommend.

James Hellaby Jr

Hands down the best part of my Florida Vacation. We went out and explored the beautiful waters of the Keys. On our trip we were able to see our first wild Dolphins. Not to mention endless massive Tarpon. The boat and captain were top notch. Recommended for anyone who needs some space away from everyone on the Island.

David Gibson

What a great time! Chad knows how to show you a fun time. Trip to the sand bar with family and friends was awesome. Highly recommend, unless it is the same time I am going to book him again ????

Chelsee Raynsford

We went out with Salty Bottom Powerboat weekend to watch the races. Captain Jose was awesome, him and the deckhand made it a great day o. The water. He got us front row to the race, They kept cold drinks in our hands, and blew up the floating island for us to lounge on as well! I can’t say enough good things about this company, we already rebooked next year and will continue to choose salty bottom for our local sandbar shin digs. Thanks so much guys!

Cheryl Beckas

Had the best time ever!!! They took us to the sandbar and showed an awesome time!! They wet w super friendly and attentive and best hosts ever!!!

Took a 4 hour day charter for my sisters bachelorette party of 11 people and it was awesome! Salty bottom boats was easy to work with and very accommodating. Chad and Gino were great guys and made the boat a highlight of our trip!

Chris Johnston

Definitely a chill and good time but could tell they were willing to party up with us at anytime should we want to do so.

karolína šašková

One of the best boat trips I’ve ever been to. Captain Chad and his crew is just amazing and so welcoming. The fact that there is a flushable bathroom and fresh water to rinse salt water off is just another plus. Boat has a bar and even bbq grill on! What else could you ask for? I cant wait for another trip with this amazing company. If you’re looking for a not overcrowded sandbar trip, sunset cruise or any type of boat party look no further. You won’t find a better crew or boat here in key west. Thank you Captain Chad and your crew for everything!

Katherine Holmes

Sunset cruise with my friends for a birth was a fabulous time! The area they took us out to swim in was beautiful. They were super attentive and noticed when ladies were having trouble swimming against the strong current back to the boat, making the necessary assists. Best of all were the jams by our DJ! He totally rocked it out! I also appreciated that there was plenty of water on board for those not drinking.

SLS

10/10! We had the best time with Salty Bottom Boat’s. Not only was the boat large and clean, but the crew was very professional, knowledgeable, and nice. We especially loved the drone shots taken of our group and the visit to the sandbar. Would recommend as a must do in Key West!

sarah

Nothing short but amazing! Went for my sisters bachelorette with 12 people. The boat was perfect for what we wanted. Chad and his crew took great care of us! We went to the sand bars and experienced the Keys the RIGHT WAY. Highly recommend them! Can’t wait to return to Key West and book our next boat day !

Natalie Abbondondolo

Thank you to the crew of salty bottom! We have been to key west several times over the years but never on a boat. They were super accommodating. Nice cruise to the sandbar. Lots of drinking and dancing. BEAUTIFUL sunset. Super nice and accommodating from beginning to end. Would definitely take a cruise with them again. Highly recommend.

Jim Durso

Booked Salty Bottom for a bachelor party. Chad was a great captain, took care of everything we needed. Had a great time with him and everyone who worked with him. Would recommend Salty Bottom for any size group, and would definitely take another trip with Chad and the Salty Bottom next time in Key West.

Taylor Ulrich

Chad and his crew made our Key West boat rental perfect, it was our favorite part of the vacation! We had 18 people on board and had the best time during our 6 hours together! I would 100% recommend!!

Jason Attias

Captain Chad and his crew were awesome! They were knowledgeable of the area and took us to a sandbar that was one of the greatest Key West experiences we’ve ever had. The sunset cruise was better than we’d hoped! We skimmed the Key West coastline and enjoyed the setting of the sun. The timing couldn’t have been better! We will be taking advantage of Captain Chad’s services when we return next year.

Best fun in the sun day ever!! ????❤️???? I reserved the Salty Bottom for a party of 25 this past week and the owner and operator Chad Harris not only did an excellent job of accommodating everyone but made sure all we had to worry about was just enjoying our day n the water. The boat has everything you need from a bathroom to a cell phone charging port. Spacious and very comfortable ride. He obviously knows the waters like the back of his hands and his experience with chartering showed for he is an A+ captain. Great sound system as well. Being that I’m born here on the island I know all about boating and this guy is your certified captain if you are looking to go out, have fun, and be worry free the whole time. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to experience our waters, islands, and sunsets like the locals do. Thank you Captain Chad and your first mate for a great day on the water and allowing us to enjoy our day and adventure without worry. We will definitely be back on this boat with you again next year. Same place same time!! ????

Richard Hall

Was a totally awesome experience! The crew was polite and receptive to our requests. Played music to make the trip even more enjoyable and provided a clean and safe environment! Salty Bottoms is highly recommended!

Janine

Top notch customer service and an all-around great experience for a bachelorette party. I would definitely use their service again and will recommend to others. Captain was super fun- We had an absolute blast, the highlight of our trip!

Rob Lloyd

We drove down from Miami (my wife and I) to DJ a Full Moon party on this boat. Needless to say it was an incredible experience. Everyone was so nice and friendly the owner asked if we were hungry because we were running behind and didn’t have a chance to eat out in the keys before we got on the boat. When we arrived the owner had bought giant bags of chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, the works! He didn’t expect us to pay for the food and just got it for us to be nice. He was overly accommodating. The boat was smooth, bathroom immaculate, sound was beautiful crisp clear people were dancing the vibe was incredible. We stopped at several sandbars throughout the evening and got in the water and saw a giant horseshoe crab everyone was standing calf deep in crystal clear bath water temperature ocean in the middle of a full moon! It was amazing! Cannot wait to go back! Thanks Chad!

Adam Scavone

Fantastic experience! We had a big family outing with kids ages 11 months through 7 years, and it was clean, easy-going, and very safe. Sound system was awesome. Absolutely will book with Chad & co. again – strongly recommend.

Cynthia Maison

My family and friends were looking to get out on the water on a private boat and fortunately we found Salty Bottom Boat that was able to take 16 of us out when all others were only able to take 6 passengers at a time. The trip exceeded our expectations! We saw the most amazing sandbar along with dolphins ???? and sharks ????! BEST PRIVATE CHARTER IN KEY WEST! Highly recommend????

Lauren M. Burns

Although we had terrible weather, pouring rain, the crew did their best to make sure we had a great time. Pack your own beverages and be prepared for a good day out at the sandbar!

Kathleen Waines

This boat is so much fun. I went on it with a group of friends for my birthday and will be going on it again in July for my boyfriend’s birthday. It is the best way to celebrate any event. The crew makes it so much fun and unforgettable. If you are in Key West, you have to check this boat out. You’ll have an amazing time!

Mary Bertini

One afternoon several weeks ago we were out at Snipe sandbar. Our extended family was enjoying the peaceful scenery. Then we heard some thumping & noticed a large party boat, at least a mile away, coming our way. The volume of the music was so unbelievably loud & rude. We could barely carry on a conversation with how loud the music was. Several other boats pulled up & anchored as far away as they could from that boat but it didn’t matter. I called the number on the side of the boat, asking them to get the captain to turn it off or at least down. I held the phone out so he could hear it- we were 300 yards away, but it was crazy. The man who answered said he would shoot the captain a message. After I hung up, I knew nothing would change & it didn’t. Don’t mind music being played, but that was so disrespectful to everyone there. Way to ruin the day.

Stacy Anderson

I have so many great words for this company! Talk about above and beyond! Jose really was the best captain!

Kristen Huffman

Captain Chad and Mikey were the best! We had an awesome day out at the sandbar! Highly recommend. 100/10

stephen almeda

This vessel has a bathroom that’s all I need to say.. I’ll say some more…………. he takes you out to God’s country you don’t run aground he has a ladder for old people to exit and enter the vessel and he has music that the young people enjoy…. that’s all that needs to be said..
