5.00We had a wonderful experience on this boat tour. Captain Nick was very organized, contacted us in advance to better understand the type of trip we were hoping for and created a great experience on the water. We were able to combine a beautiful nature-focused trip visiting islands and speeding around with dolphins and then seeing some of the interesting local sights.
Beautiful day on the water!

5.00Awesome day on the water playing with dolphins, sightseeing and shelling. Captain Nick had the flexibility to accommodate weather (brrr). The boat is pristine and super comfortable. We had a great day.

5.00This was an excellent excursion for our family! Our original booking was forecasted for rain, so I was in contact with Captain Nick and we shifted our booking to the next afternoon which turned out to be wonderful weather. He took us to an island where we collected seashells. Our little ones had an amazing time. He provided life vests for our kids, and suggested we bring our own blankets in case it's chilly, which worked out wonderfully when the boat was going fast. On the ride back we saw dolphins and they swam with us for maybe 5 minutes on the way back, it was amazing!!
Great experience. Captain...

Ok, could be better

3.00Boat tour was ok, but we all felt it could have been better. There was no wow factor, or attempt to do anything other than drive a boat. We were taken to a couple of Islands, given their names but apart from that were left to our own devices with little to no interaction. The following day we went on another boat tour in Crystal River and it was exceptional based on the service, interactions and genuine intent. The boat was lovely, very good condition and what we were expecting. If we were to do a boat tour again we would chose a different company
Outstanding Experience

5.00Captain Nick was not only patient, but caring and knowledgeable of the surrounding areas and completely made my family and me feel at home on the water. He even helped put a few decorations up for my daughter’s 15th birthday upon the boat, outstanding and will recommend to any visitors in Central or South Florida.
