BEST Hands on Excursion! - This was the BEST activity we did on our trip and 100% worth the price! We had two people in the group in their 40s, a 13 year old, and my 69 year old mom. Everyone enjoyed it. We went fast some of the time and during the slow parts enjoyed seeing the homes and got to see a dolphin! We got a little stretch and swim break on an island, then back in the water to go over more waves. The boats were easy to drive with a sort tutorial and a little practice, with tour operators’ guidance. Would DEFINITELY do again!

Too fun to miss this excursion. - We enjoyed our Hydro Cat journey yesterday. We saw dolphins and enjoyed these great boats and the scenic tour. The owners gave great instructions and thought of everything. Nice stop on Lido beach. We will definitely go again. The owners reminded everyone to make sure to pay for your parking. You will get a ticket if you forget. Parking cost was Only $5 for the day.

So much fun! - This was so much fun!!!! My husband and I had a blast! The owners are super nice and take lots of pictures for you! Unfortunately, we barely saw a dolphin fin but that wasn't for their lack of trying! You will NOT regret doing this!!

Hydrocat is a must do if visiting Sarasota! - Owners were very friendly and personable. Even took photos for us and sent it to us without charging a fee. I definitely prefer to support private business especially when they have great service and doesn’t nit pick every dime & dollar. The weather was beautiful and this is a must do while here in Sarasota. Two hours go by pretty quick since we were having a good time. We even lucked out and got to see a cute family of dolphins.

Has a blast on the Hydro Cats! - We had the best time!! It was so worth the price!! The could even charge more and it would still be worth it!! It was a 2 hour tour. We saw dolphins, went swimming, went fast over waves and cruised slow and saw some beautiful mansions. They even provided ice cold water and fruit cups. Definitely recommend and we would definitely do it again!

Wonderful Anniversary excursion!! - We had an absolutely wonderful time for our anniversary and we will definitely do it again next year for our anniversary. Guides were very knowledgeable about the area and very attentive to making sure that we saw dolphins. The guides also made sure to take pictures of us along the way and sent them to our phone so we could have them. Instructions were clear so that even a novice boater would be comfortable operating the vessel. An absolutely beautiful day on the water!

Great experience on the water! - Wonderful guides from checking on arrival to safety/driving tips. Loved the excursion and sights seen. Guides allowed time to enjoy the hydrocats on the water while also touring local sights. Would definitely do again!
