☀️ WELCOME ABOARD SALT TRIBE CHARTERS ☀️
Set sail on a private yacht charter in Jupiter, Florida aboard our gorgeous 42’ Azimut Motor Yacht, “4 Sea-E-O’s!” We are Captain Ryan and Amy Smith, a husband and wife team running a locally owned, fully licensed, and fully insured charter company out of Jupiter, FL. From the moment you book to the moment you step off the boat, you are dealing directly with us. No booking agents, no automated messages, no middlemen.

🌅 BOOK A MORNING CHARTER IF YOU CAN 🌅
Mornings on the water in Jupiter are something special. The water is glassy, the boat traffic is light, and all the wildlife is out. Dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, rays, and some of the most breathtaking coastal scenery in South Florida are all yours before the crowds even get going. We always recommend morning if you have flexibility. Your future self will thank you.
💙 WHERE CAN WE TAKE YOU 💙
We run private yacht charters throughout Jupiter, Tequesta, Stuart, Palm Beach, and surrounding waterways.
These are our most popular destinations:
🏝️ Tequesta Sandbar
A fun, shallow spot perfect for floating, relaxing, and taking in the Florida sunshine. Best for charters of 3 hours or more.
🏝️ Tiger Beach Cove
A peaceful, tucked-away hideout for a private swim away from the busy waterways. Best for charters of 3-4 hours or more.
🏝️ Peanut Island
One of the Palm Beaches most iconic stops! Snorkeling, sandbar, history, and a full experience all in one. Best for charters of 5-6 hours or more.
🏝️ Stuart Sandbar
The ultimate adventure for guests who want to see more, cruise more, and take it all in. Wide-open crystal blue waterways, stunning waterfront estates, and a true escape from the crowds. Best for our full 6-hour charter.
🍽️ Love waterfront dining? We can pull right up to the docks at some of Jupiter and Stuart’s most beloved waterfront restaurants. Riverhouse Restaurant in Palm Beach Gardens is always a guest favorite, and we are happy to point you toward the best local spots based on what you are in the mood for, and what your preferred timing allows.
✨ WHAT IS ONBOARD “4 SEA-E-O’S” ✨
🛥️ 42’ Azimut Motor Yacht, luxury, comfort, and style all in one
❄️ Air-conditioned cabin, because this is Florida and we do not play around
🍳 Full galley for any food you bring aboard
🎶 Bluetooth stereo, your playlist, your vibe
☀️ Padded sun lounges on the bridge and foredeck for maximum relaxation
🌊 Underwater exhaust system, no fumes, no noise, just the open water
🚻 Private guest restroom onboard, completely separate from the crew’s. We ask that only marine-safe toilet paper is used in the head. No worries if you forget, we keep some stocked for you!
🍹 BYOB IS WELCOME!
Bring your favorite drinks and we will keep them cold! We just ask that you skip the red wine and glass bottles. Out on the water, glass breaks and red wine stains, and neither one makes for a great day. Canned beer, seltzers, spirits, mixers, whatever you enjoy is totally welcome!
⚠️ A FEW IMPORTANT THINGS
🚫 No pets onboard
🚫 No spray-on sunscreen, bronzers, or tanning oils (they destroy our surfaces and we would love to keep the boat beautiful for you and every guest after you)
🚫 No shoes on the deck
🚫 No illegal drugs. It is the love boat, not the drug boat. 🚤💙
💰 Gratuity is not included in your booking price. Our crew works hard for you! Customary gratuity is 25% - 30% and can be paid in cash or Zelle. It means the world to us!
👫 MEET YOUR CREW
Captain Ryan Smith is a 22+ year USCG Master Captain and a 5th generation Florida native who has spent his entire life on these waters. He has run everything from offshore sportfishing boats to luxury yachts and brings that depth of experience to every single charter. He knows these waterways like the back of his hand and takes the safety and enjoyment of every guest extremely personally.
✔️ USCG Master Captain License
✔️ CPR, AED, and First Aid Certified
✔️ 22+ years of professional captaining experience
✔️ Local expert, experienced captain, and genuinely loves what he does
Amy Smith is a Palm Beach County native, first mate / wife to Capt. Ryan, and the person you will be in contact with from the very first message to the moment you step back off the boat. Every phone call, every charter agreement, every set of directions, every question you have before your trip, and every detail during it comes through Amy. On the water she is right there alongside you, making sure everything runs so smoothly that you never have to think about a single thing. She will also walk you through an insider tour of the stunning celebrity estates lining Jupiter Island that most guests never get to experience any other way.
✔️ CPR, AED, and First Aid Certified
✔️ The coordinator, communicator, and hospitality heart of every Salt Tribe charter
✔️ Committed to making your experience feel personal from the very first message to the last hug goodbye
And together, Ryan and Amy are one of those rare teams that just works. Calm, collected, down to earth, and completely in sync on and off the water.
Guests tell us all the time that they specifically chose Salt Tribe because we are a husband and wife team running a small business with genuine care. That is not something you find on every charter boat, and it is something we take seriously every single time we leave the dock.
⭐ WE CANNOT WAIT TO MEET YOU ⭐
If we made your day special, please take a moment to leave us a review on Boatsetter! It helps other guests find us and means more to us than we can put into words.
But honestly, the best part of this job has never been the destinations or even the beautiful boat. It is the people. We have guests who came out as strangers and left as family. Some of them come back every single year, even regulars who come out multiple times per season. Some of them still text us just to check in. That kind of connection is what keeps us doing this with our whole hearts, and it is what Salt Tribe is all about.
We cannot wait to welcome you aboard!🌊☀️
