Such a great experience! CPT Randy knee just how much to engage in conversation and let everyone enjoy the experience. He played great music that didn’t overwhelm conversation. It was perfect.

Very nice gentle ride. We were lucky enough to spot a pod of 4 who played around and under the boat for quite some time!

This said it was a manatee and dolphin watching trip. We saw nothing but mansions on both sides of the river. The captain only spoke once pointing out the mansion belonging to the creator of nascar. When it was over I asked about the manatees and he said they were gone for the winter. I said I thought that should have been made clear in the ad but he disagreed. It was a pleasant ride but I would never have paid that much for just a 90 minute ride up and back down a bit of the river. The only good that came out of it is he told us about Blue Springs State Park where the manatees go this time of year. We went the next day and it was wonderful. $6 to park the car is the only cost!

We had an awesome time. Our sunset cruise included three generations from 50 to infancy. Captain Andrew provided life vests for the two youngest and when they became uncomfortable in the vests he suggested they move inside making them very happy. During the trip the kids got to steer the ship and we got some great photos. Speedy was exceptional including the kids in the trivia game and providing prizes when they got the correct answer. Dakota was new to the crew - she will be a great crew member as well. The crew were very knowledgeable about the lagoon and wildlife. Highly recommend!

WONDERFUL experience! We spent 90 minutes on the water and saw several dolphins playing - it was difficult to get good photos because they pop up and back into the water so fast, but it was so relaxing. The boat is clean and the perfect size, limiting passengers to 6 allows plenty of room and it's fun to get to know others in such a relaxing atmosphere. Communication about where to meet, etc was perfect. Highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful experience on our boat ride along the Halifax River! The seats were very comfortable, and we loved that there were both shaded areas and spots to soak up the sun. The weather was absolutely beautiful, which made the cruise even better. The captains were friendly, welcoming, and made the whole trip feel safe and relaxing. It was the perfect way to kick off our day in Daytona — we stayed at Caribbean Jacks for a super tasty lunch and cocktails—highly recommend booking this boat!

The trip was great, we saw a few dolphins and just had a great time on the water. The wasn’t enough wind to sail but the boat was very comfortable and had plenty of room.
