10 out of 10 - My daughter and I had the best time. It was exactly what we were wanting. Our captain made sure we were compfortable and catered the day around things we wanted. We saw very close ups of dolphins and manatee, even saw a couple sting rays jump out of the water. My daughter is obsessed with sharks and we even saw a baby shark !! Our captain was super cool and layed bk, which is what we were lookin for! Definitely worth the price for sure!! We will see yall again on our next trip!!

Go see dolphins with cpt bobby! - Capt bobby"s tour was absoluely fabulous. He took us out on his boot for a tour to watch dolphins and so we did. We also saw a stingray and we went to an island for a swim. It was a verry pleasurable morning and cpt bobby went out of his way to make the dolphins jump the waves of his boat. Unfortunately no manatees, and the fish wouldn't bite, but that could not taken away the pleasure. I can recommend it to everybody!

Perfect day of boating - We were two couples on vacation in Treasure Island. Our captain, Bobby, was the best. The cleanest boat I've ever seen. He was very accommodating, having plenty of ice for our beverages and plenty of bottled water. He knows the area well and was very informative. We felt very safe. We saw lots of dolphins playing and Bobby knew exactly how to get them to jump behind the wake of the boat. We went to Shell Island and walked around the beautiful island in water that was very warm and shallow. We went to another sand bar near John's pass which was a lot of fun. This trip is a must do if you are ever in the Treasure Island /St. Pete area. We will definitely do this trip again if we ever get back to this area of Florida.

Beautiful adventure for the whole family - We had a beautiful cruise around Shell Island and to St. John’s Pass. Fun for the whole family, from the grandparents (almost 80) to the kiddos (4 and 6). Captain Bob was awesome, and made it known that it was our adventure to go where we wanted for however long we wanted. Shell Island was beautiful, and we loved cruising around St. John’s Pass looking at the gorgeous homes. Although the dolphins weren’t out that day, it barely mattered because everything else was so much fun!

Amazing private trip - The experience was excellent from the beginning, the boat was already and the captain had a life vest for my kid. He was so knowledgeable about everything around the area and we instantly saw dolphins then went to an amazing island to get shells. It was an amazing 3 hour excursion and will definitely go back again and use the same tour guide.

Sore back and butts - Weather,sunshine, and captain was very good. We had a group of five and this boat can only accommodate three comfortably. The other two people are left sitting on the hard bow or back of boat. After the 3 hour tour are backs and asses were so sore it hurt to walk. This co needs to limit the number to max of 3 or get a bigger boat. If you are deciding between this and the larger group pontoon boat tours, go with the pontoon and Be much more comfortable. Main reason this is getting a 3 star review instead of lower is the captain Zach had the patience with our developmentally disabled son who answered every question our son had.... and there were alot, lol.
