5.00Captain Michael was great. He goes above and beyond to accommodate guests. He is someone, who loves what he does, and his boat was spotless and ran very smooth. All of our family enjoyed talking with him as well. He is the perfect host. He knew I wanted to see dolphins and he was going to do anything in his power to make it happen. We saw dolphins, manatees, and turtles. I would Thanks to Captain Michael for a beautiful sunset cruise!

My daughter got engaged last night and we where out to dinner and saw Captain Mike drive by in his boat and decided to call the number he picked us up outside the restaurant and we started our moon light ride down the bay the view was incredible.

5.00Captain Mike was excellent! He was extremely accommodating and informational along the trip. A perfect option for small family groups, keep in mind that you can only have a group of 6 people. I would definitely recommend!

5.00We had the most amazing experience on the Water Limo with Captain Mike! From the moment we stepped on board, he made us feel completely welcome. He was so friendly, professional, and genuinely kind — you can tell he truly loves what he does. The ride itself was absolutely relaxing and beautiful. The views were stunning, the atmosphere was peaceful, and everything felt so smooth and comfortable. It was the perfect way to unwind, laugh, and enjoy quality time together on the water. Captain Mike made the entire trip even more special with his warm personality and great energy. He made sure we were comfortable the whole time and created such a fun, stress-free experience. If you’re looking for a relaxing, memorable day on the water, we 100% recommend booking with Captain Mike. We can’t wait to do it again! 🌊☀️✨
