Florida's Treasure Coast — stretching from Sebastian in the north to Stuart in the south — is home to one of the most spectacular boating environments in the United States. The Indian River Lagoon, the St. Lucie River, the Fort Pierce Inlet, and the Sebastian Inlet give boaters access to calm protected waters, open ocean, pristine sandbars, and extraordinary wildlife. If you're looking for Treasure Coast boat rentals, this guide covers everything you need to know.
Salty's Water Sports is the Treasure Coast's premier boat rental and water sports operator, with locations in Fort Pierce, Jensen Beach, Port St. Lucie, and Sebastian. With over 1,300 five-star reviews and a 4.9/5 rating across Google and TripAdvisor, Salty's has been the region's most trusted water sports company for over 15 years.
What sets Salty's apart from other Treasure Coast boat rental companies is the combination of a brand-new fleet, exceptional staff, and a commitment to safety and customer experience that no other operator in the region matches. Every boat is maintained to BRP Experiences standards, and every rental includes a full safety briefing, life jackets for all passengers, and access to the team's deep local knowledge of the best spots on the lagoon.
Fort Pierce — Salty's flagship location on Hutchinson Island, with direct access to the Indian River Lagoon and the Fort Pierce Inlet. Fort Pierce is the best base for exploring the northern Treasure Coast, including the Blue Heron Bridge, the Fort Pierce Inlet State Park, and the Pelican Yacht Club sandbar.
Jensen Beach — Located on the Indian River Lagoon near the Jensen Beach Causeway, this location offers access to some of the best dolphin-watching waters on the Treasure Coast. The lagoon near Jensen Beach is home to over 800 resident bottlenose dolphins, and sightings are virtually guaranteed on any given day.
Port St. Lucie — Salty's Port St. Lucie location sits on the St. Lucie River, giving boaters access to the river, the lagoon, and the St. Lucie Inlet. This location is ideal for fishing, sandbar trips, and exploring the Manatee Pocket near Stuart.
Sebastian — The northernmost Salty's location, near Sebastian Inlet State Park — one of the top surfing and fishing spots in Florida. The Indian River Lagoon near Sebastian is exceptionally clear and shallow, making it ideal for snorkeling and wildlife watching.
Dolphin watching. The Indian River Lagoon has one of the highest concentrations of bottlenose dolphins in the world. A boat rental gives you the freedom to find them on your own — or book a guided Dolphin Cruise with Salty's for a 95% guaranteed sighting rate.
Sandbar hopping. The Treasure Coast is dotted with sandbars where boaters anchor, wade in crystal-clear water, and spend the afternoon swimming and socializing. The North Fork Sandbar near Port St. Lucie and the sandbars near Fort Pierce Inlet are the most popular.
Fishing. The Treasure Coast is one of Florida's premier inshore fishing destinations. Snook, redfish, tarpon, and spotted seatrout are abundant in the lagoon and rivers. A pontoon boat rental from Salty's gives you access to all the best fishing spots.
Sunset cruises. The Treasure Coast sunset over the Indian River Lagoon is one of Florida's most spectacular natural displays. Salty's offers guided sunset cruises that depart at golden hour and return after dark — a perfect romantic or family experience.
Wildlife watching. Beyond dolphins, the Treasure Coast lagoon is home to manatees, sea turtles, osprey, roseate spoonbills, and dozens of other species. A slow cruise through the mangrove shorelines is one of the best wildlife-watching experiences in Florida.
