Carissa and Kara were very knowledgeable and made our tour super fun! We saw some dolphins and pelicans along the way and enjoyed finding live conchs and stray coconuts on the pristine sand bar where we moored for a short break before exploring the back canals with multimillion dollar homes. Best for people who are looking for an adventure. For us, the hydro-cat was like water skiing behind a fast boat, except you control the throttle and the direction. Some experience with navigating boat wakes is helpful.

This Hydrocat tour was exceptional. The jet skis are incredibly balanced and stable — you don’t turn over, you don’t flip, and you don’t really get wet, which made the experience comfortable and enjoyable for everyone in our group. Our tour guide was outstanding and truly catered to everyone’s needs. She let the adrenaline junkies go full speed, slowed things down with figure eights so the seniors could catch up, and made sure no one felt rushed or left behind. She even took us on a tour of celebrity homes, stopped at a sandbar, and took great photos of us, which was such a thoughtful touch. It was well-organized, fun, and inclusive — hands down one of the best tours we’ve done. I would absolutely do this again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, safe, and memorable experience.

Super fun experience! Instructions were very clear from the beginning and although nervous these were easy to get the hang of driving quick. A blast on the water! My 10 and 8yo boys loved it and they were all smiles. Carissa even pointed out some creatures on the island area. Would definetly do again

This experience exceeded our expectations! Dolphins were awesome! Sarasota from the bay was a great way to see the area! The small stop that was on a sandbar where we witnessed a live conch Fish was also very unique and a great experience. If this is something you haven’t tried go do this!
