Fort Pierce Inlet: The Treasure Coast's Dolphin Nursery

Every October through May, bottlenose dolphins gather in the Indian River Lagoon around the Fort Pierce Inlet on Hutchinson Island to give birth and raise their calves. Dolphins are so abundant here that FAU Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, right here in Fort Pierce, studies the lagoon's dolphins and how they move through the area. Salty's launches from 601 Seaway Drive, minutes from the inlet. That's why our guests spot dolphins on 95% of tours.

Plan Your Jensen Beach Adventure

Jensen Beach, Florida — nicknamed the 'Pineapple Capital of the World' — is one of the highest-intent water sports markets on the Treasure Coast because visitors are usually staying within minutes of Hutchinson Island, the Jensen Beach Causeway, Marriott-area resorts, Nettles Island, Bathtub Beach, and the widest sections of the Indian River Lagoon. Salty's Water Sports is built for those guests: book online before you arrive, show up to a professional waterfront operation, and choose from Sea-Doo jet ski rentals, pontoon boat rentals, dolphin tours, sunset cruises, banana boat rides, kayaks, and paddleboards.

The Jensen Beach waterfront gives guests two distinct advantages. First, the Indian River Lagoon is wide, scenic, and protected, which makes it ideal for first-time riders, families, and dolphin watching. Second, the island corridor connects easily to Hutchinson Island attractions, Stuart beaches, resort stays, and vacation rentals. If you are staying near Jensen Beach, Hutchinson Shores, Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort & Marina, Nettles Island, or a Stuart-area beach house, Salty's gives you the easiest way to turn a beach trip into a full water sports day on the lagoon.

What to Expect

Your Jensen Beach water sports experience with Salty's is designed around fast booking, simple arrival, and maximum time on the water. Jet ski riders get a safety briefing, licensing help if needed, and brand-new Sea-Doo GTX equipment before riding the Indian River Lagoon. Boat rental guests can plan a family cruise toward Nettles Island, Stuart, and protected sandbar areas. Guided dolphin tour guests follow Salty's captains to productive lagoon feeding grounds where bottlenose dolphins, manatees, sea birds, and sea turtles are frequently spotted. Guests staying near Hutchinson Island Marriott, Hutchinson Shores, Jensen Beach Causeway, Bathtub Beach, or downtown Stuart should book ahead to protect the best morning and sunset times.

Great for Families and Groups

Jensen Beach is an excellent family destination because the same trip can combine a lagoon adventure, a resort stay, and a beach afternoon without long drives. Families can start with a Sea-Doo rental or guided dolphin tour, then spend the rest of the day at Jensen Beach Park, Bathtub Beach, Stuart Beach, Indian Riverside Park, or their Hutchinson Island resort. Pontoon boats are the best choice for multi-generation groups because they offer shade, seating, storage, and a slower pace, while jet skis are ideal for parents and teenagers who want a higher-energy experience. Life jackets are provided, and the Salty's team walks first-time guests through the full safety process before launch.
