This watercraft tour was so much fun! The boat was easy to maneuver and the sightseeing was beautiful. We even got to see some dolphins. The host went out of her way to gift everyone a Valentine’s Day bag of treats, which was very sweet and thoughtful. They also provided a small cooler with ice, water, and fruit cups. Another thoughtful addition. They took pictures of us throughout the tour and texted them to me as well. These added touches prove the owners care about the customer well being and want them to have this memory forever. Very professional. The watercraft was in excellent shape and we felt safe the entire time. We will definitely be doing this again next time come back!

It was our first experience with Hydrocats, but Joel and Carissa were amazing guides and they showed us everything we needed to know about operating them. We had a wonderful time exploring Sarasota Bay and Siesta Key. We would definitely do this again; it was a blast!

Fun times! A cross between a go cart on the water and a jet ski. Stable, easy to drive. Great guides. Not educational, more of a watercraft experience.

The owner/operators really seemed to know the area, and made sure everyone on the hydro cat tour saw any sea life they spotted. We really enjoyed our tour.

Such a fun experience! It was just the right length. Not too short or too long. Some fast, some slower paced. Highly recommend if you like an adrenaline rush mixed with relaxation. Hosts were the best!
