Special Needs Approved - We have a special needs son and we weren’t sure how receptive he was going to be to the boat. Captain Mike gave us a later start time and basically built the day around our son. Our son really enjoyed the speed and wind blowing in his hair. We stopped at a few sandbars, cooled off in the water and walked around. Captain Mike helped us assisting him in and out of the boat. Captain Mike gave us some history/back story of the local area which we appreciated. We had an amazing time on the water. As a bonus we saw some wild life, dolphins, Ospreys, Pelicans and Storks.

Fantastic day with Captain Mike! - Captain Mike was fantastic! He took my family and I to see some cool spots, houses and sea she’ll key. To top it off, he went above and beyond to bring us to Madeira beach to see the dolphins. We stay in Redington Beach every year and will be using Captain Mike again in the future. Thanks again for a great day!

Best family adventure - Captain Mike was great! My family and I enjoyed every moment of our adventure! Mike's boat was awesome and safe. We were able to play our own music and had time to eat our snacks. We went to different sandbars and enjoyed beautiful views of awesome homes. We were able to see some of the most famous hotels in St. Pete Beach. And the highlight was being able to see lots of dolphins. Every time we spotted one, he would stop and get as close as possible to be able to take videos and pictures. This was an unforgettable experience! We will be back some day with Captain Mike!

Playful Dolphins - Captain Mike sure knows the best places and is very informative! We got to experience seeing dolphins playing in the waves of the boat. We highly recommend this for the family. We will definitely be back to see Captain Mike.

We had a great day on... - We had a great day on the Gulf. We went to shell key and Csptain Mike showed us which parts of the island had been transformed due to recent hurricanes. He pulled in close enough that we only had to wade through a couple feet of water to get to the island and explore. C.Mike let us bring our 12 lb Yorkie, and he had lots of fun chasing the birds on the island. C.Mike spotted a school of stingrays and got close enough so we could really see how many there were. It was very cool! Then he took us to a nice beachy area where we had a picnic. C.Mike was very knowledgeable about the area and it's landmarks. Saw some beautiful mansions along the intercoastal waterway. We booked this excursion for our daughter's 18th birthday, and I don't think we coukd have had a better day!
