Wonderful experience! - The tour was super fun and a good value for the money. The boats do end up going a little fast and can get a little bumpy on the waves so just be aware that will happen - and can be a little scary at times if you are a bit more timid like myself. My husband on the other hand had a blast driving the boat. I really enjoyed boating through the neighborhoods around Sarasota and seeing all of the wonderful houses and boats. We also saw a dolphin in the bay and passed by lots of other wildlife. About halfway through the tour you stop on a sandbar which is a great time for pictures and to eat a snack (which is provided). Dry bags are provided which is great because you absolutely will get wet on these boats, so wear appropriate clothing and make sure to have a towel in the car. We were deciding between this and a kayak tour and we were very happy we went with Hydrocats. Super fun and a little different than your typical kayak or other boat cruise.
The tour guides are very knowledgeable and passionate about their job and want to make sure you have a great but very safe time.

Happy customer from Kansas City - This tour was the highlight of our trip to Sarasota. The scenery was beautiful, the staff was great and the hydrocat boats were a blast and very safe. We even saw a couple of dolphins leaping out of the water not far from us. I would highly recommend it.

Best Experience yet - We had such a great time yesterday on the Hydro Cats. The owners are the ones that did the tour they were amazing. This is one of the best things I have ever done in Florida.

Excellent experience! - This watercraft tour was so much fun! The boat was easy to maneuver and the sightseeing was beautiful. We even got to see some dolphins. The host went out of her way to gift everyone a Valentine’s Day bag of treats, which was very sweet and thoughtful. They also provided a small cooler with ice, water, and fruit cups. Another thoughtful addition. They took pictures of us throughout the tour and texted them to me as well. These added touches prove the owners care about the customer well being and want them to have this memory forever. Very professional. The watercraft was in excellent shape and we felt safe the entire time. We will definitely be doing this again next time come back!

Exciting and Fun Adventure - It was our first experience with Hydrocats, but Joel and Carissa were amazing guides and they showed us everything we needed to know about operating them. We had a wonderful time exploring Sarasota Bay and Siesta Key. We would definitely do this again; it was a blast!

Like nothing we’d done before on the waters around Sarasota. Fun, stable and easy to drive. Think Go carts on the water! - Fun times! A cross between a go cart on the water and a jet ski. Stable, easy to drive. Great guides. Not educational, more of a watercraft experience.

Kansans visit Florida - The owner/operators really seemed to know the area, and made sure everyone on the hydro cat tour saw any sea life they spotted. We really enjoyed our tour.

1-3 pm tour - Such a fun experience! It was just the right length. Not too short or too long. Some fast, some slower paced. Highly recommend if you like an adrenaline rush mixed with relaxation. Hosts were the best!
