Anyone can participate in any of the watersport activities we offer. As a matter of fact, many of our guests are beginners and Salt Run is an easy waterway to navigate. Our staff will ensure that you are familiar with the operation of your watercraft before you head out. Salt Run is a haven for both sea and wildlife.
