Galveston Salt water Moms/Friendswood Moms

[Djford75]

Has anybody used either of these for transport to/from airport to the ship?  They have great FB reviews

[Texas Tillie]

I'm not saying this is the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if half the reviews are all their neighbors and relatives who are trying to help them and have never used the service.

I used them back in August 2021 and have them scheduled again for March 2022.  They were wonderful!!! On time, clean vehicles, great communication even when I switched the pick up time last minute.  I would highly recommend them without any hesitation.

Is there a phone number for salt water moms are a website to book

[mama-of-three]

They have a Facebook page. You message them directly and they will connect with you very quickly.

Yes, there is an email to contact them if you (like me) do not use FB.

Found this on Cruise Critic a few months ago and was successful in setting up our transportation with the Galveston Saltwater Mom's.

Good to know.   I have their business card - no email.  We use them all the time to go to from mainland airports.

I was so happy to find a way to contact them without using FB.   

When we booked our cruise from Galveston I had no idea how hard it would be to figure out transportation from IAH to Galveston.  Once I read about the Saltwater Mom's and contacted them, it was all so easy.

I would not join facebook for any reason.

As far as Saltwater Moms go. I'm the kind of person who wants to see operating/incorporation licenses, commercial insurance coverage. All the things a business needs to be in business. No corporate email, no website, no easy to find communication. This screams not paying for stuff you should be paying for, and you won't find out until you get t-boned on the way to or from wherever you're going. At that point, you better hope you have travel insurance because they may not. Car insurance is not the same as commercial insurance coverage. I'm more than happy to be proven wrong with documentation and not insults. 

[Galveston Cruiser]

Saltwater Mom's are licensed to enter the Port of Galveston; Uber is not.  As a business owner of 20+ years in the tourism business, i have yet to have someone ask for documentation of licenses, insurance, etc. 

 

We have used their services multiple times; excellent service, new vehicles and very professional. Cannot say the same with many taxis.

We used Saltwater Moms back in September the day before our cruise to get from Hobby to Galveston.  We had a great experience and certainly wouldn't hesitate to use them again.  We would have used them to get back to the airport, but they were already booked, so we used Lyft instead.  Saltwater Moms service was much better.  The Lyft driver obviously didn't know the port very well.  She drove right by us at the Lyft pickup area and had to go back out and come back around again for another 15 minute wait.

@Sand and Seas and @rkr what was the total cost of your trips? I seriously want to know. Thank you.  Also, my best friend wouldn't charge me.

Too bad your best friend doesn't live in Galveston ?

I agree with you.  I've used Galveston Saltwater Moms 20 times so far.  And have 20 more reservations.  I trust them so much more than Uber, Lyft, or a taxi.  And yes, they are insured.

(There are several little fees mentioned in their flyer so be sure to count those in)

We have family that may stay outside of Galveston to save money.  Perhaps stay near Texas City.  Does Galveston Saltwater moms pick up from there and bring to the port?  Or is it better to have a Uber/Lyft pick up the morning of the cruise?

Yes, Galveston Saltwater Moms will pick you up from there.  Just be sure to contact them ahead of time to get in a reservation.  The other thing to mention is it is best to pay cash.  They aren't set up for credit card payments (or at least they weren't) unless you want to send them payment thru a pay app.  You can ask about payment when you make your reservation.  Or you can Lyft to the port.  There has been an issue sometimes with using Uber.

I tried sending an email to that email address, but have not received any response. We also don't do Facebook.
