Great event - waters were choppy but that made it even more exciting. Great tour guides as well. Highly recommended!

My family LOVED this experience. We were a mixed generation group but everyone enjoyed the thrill of the speed boats. The stop at Lido beach was nice too. The kids saw hermit crabs, jelly fish, fish and a starfish. The guides were very friendly and accommodating. My parents were first timers and didn’t know how to swim so they would circle back and check on them periodically while we cruised around on the water.

If you do not do this experience you are missing out! This is an experience that is fun for all ages. Bring water shoes for better grip on the hydrocat. They provide bottled water and mini fruit cups. You will get wet so wear bathing suits. They provide a wet bag for important items. The views are amazing and the ride is worth every dollar! We will definitely be going back when we visit Sarasota again. The tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. When you arrive at location get ready to experience some great people and sights! Hydrocats=Hydrofun!
