Book This Trip! - Last Thursday my mom, seven year old son, and I had the pleasure of taking an excursion on Rob’s boat. I was hesitant at first about boarding a smaller boat, as everything makes me anxious, but my concerns were quickly put at ease when I saw how experienced and confident he was. The ride itself was beautiful, informative, and also very relaxing. He played great music (kid friendly!), and the small size of the boat allowed us and the other passengers to chit chat and enjoy the experience together. You can tell that Rob has a passion for what he does and wants to share that with others. We saw beautiful native wildlife and also learned some of the history of the area. He made some wonderful recommendations for places to visit while we were down there. My only regret is that we went on the boat the last night of our vacation and couldn’t take advantage of his suggestions. I highly recommend taking this trip, you won’t regret it! Thank you, Rob, for the unforgettable experience, we will be sure to grab the Publix hoagies next time we are in town.

Great 2 hours in the water - First experience for some of our group to see manatees and dolphins. Rob is the owner and was our tour guide. He was great in adding a trip to accommodate the size of our group when the others were full. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. He ensured we were comfortable on board. We saw lots of dolphins and a mama manatee with her baby. The tour took 2 hours, which is the right amount of time for this tour. We highly recommend it and would go again! Rob was great!

Lovely afternoon! - We had a great afternoon with Rob! He was warm and friendly. Also very knowledgeable about the wildlife. We spotted many dolphins including a newborn that he said he had not seen before. He also played very good music and pointed us in the right direction for some delicious seafood! Highly recommend

Outstanding dolphin tour! - Rob was absolutely awesome. He is a professional and he knows where to look for dolphins and manatees. We saw probably 60 dolphins and some manatees. There were many variety of various birds. It was the best and well worth the money. My son and I really enjoyed it. (:

Great time with small quirks - Definitely saw dolphins right out of the gate. The tour guide knew and found manatees for us to see. The bird sanctuary was cool. The only quirk was finding where to meet at the park. We were picked up at the boat launch.
