Very relaxing family experience - Wonderful private tour. The whole family came, from the grandparents to toddlers and we all had a blast. The captain definitely knew what she was doing and made it a great experience for all of us. We got to see dolphins, hermit crabs, a beautiful sunset and so much more. I would definitely recommend.

Incredible morning! - I can’t say enough how amazing this was. Captain Linda was so nice and knowledgeable and an excellent boat captain. One of my children wanted badly to see sea turtles and she did awesome trying to find them for us and we ended up seeing two. All three kids and my husband and I really enjoyed our trip. We will for sure be back next time, thanks so much!

Great Experience - Captain Ashley was amazing and catered the trip to what suited our kids the best. She was able to find dolphins, turtles, a stingray and even a manatee! The kids had a blast and the 3 hours was definitely worth it. Glad we went with something more than 2 hours. Would go back again any time!
