5.00Highly recommend!! We got to see a whole team of dolphins, and went to an island where we got to go in the gulf and find shells and sand dollars. My kids loved seeing the dolphins. It really was fun for the whole family.
Great family experience

5.00My family ( 2 adults and 3 kids - 11, 10, 10) went on the 3 hour excursion - knee boarding & shelling. We had a blast! Best time ever! Prior to our excursion, I messaged Captain Allen questions. He responded considerably fast and answered all my questions and made some suggestions too. Capt Allen’s boat is beautiful, spacious, and has a canopy for shade. Capt Allen is friendly & awesome with the kids! He explained the knee boarding directions multiple times to the kids until they felt comfortable. Capt Allen cheered the kids on and gave them huge high fives when they were done. Shelling was fun too. Make sure you bring a bucket to collect all the shells! It was like being on a treasure hunt! Highly recommend Captain Allen!
Great Review for Captain Allen – Wakeboarding & Tubing

5.00Yesterday we went wakeboarding and tubing with Captain Allen in Gulfport, St. Petersburg, and from the moment we booked, I knew it was going to be a fantastic experience. Captain Allen’s positive energy, great attitude, and genuine passion for what he does set the tone right away. Even though all of us had wakeboarded before, we quickly realized we’d been making it harder than it needed to be. With just a quick demonstration off the side of the boat, Captain Allen showed us how to get up on the board smoothly and effortlessly. His simple tips made all the difference—our 15-year-old, 19-year-old, and even myself, a 51-year-old all got up easily and were soon doing 180° spins, catching air, and building confidence on the water. This was especially impressive since one of I was just coming off a back injury from hockey the week before! One of my favorite moments was when my special lady—at first a little reluctant—decided to try tubing. Captain Allen took the time to make her feel completely safe, showing her the different speeds he could go so she could choose her comfort level. Before long she was laughing, holding on tight, and having an absolute blast. And yes, she gave the thumbs up for super speed! Captain Allen’s coaching and easygoing nature proved that with the right teacher, the right setting, and the right attitude, anything is possible. After wakeboarding and tubing, we all left with big smiles and great memories. His knowledge of the water, weather patterns, and safety just adds to the experience. If you’re visiting the Tampa Bay area and want an unforgettable day on the water, look no further than Captain Allen. Whether you’re looking to improve your skills or just have an amazing time, he delivers both in spades.

Water sports with Allen

5.00Allen was an excellent captain and teacher of water sports! We had never wake boarded before and he patiently and successfully taught everyone who wanted to learn! He made tubing fun and accessible for all comfort levels, and tailored the entire experience to be exactly what we were looking for. Hours after we left, we are still talking about how much fun we had!
Made an 80 one year old aunt’s birthday special!

5.00Once again Captain Allen has outdone himself!! I had family in from NC, TX and Indiana. We took the 2 hour Shell Island tour. My 80 yr old aunt had a knee replacement two months ago but I knew with the ramps at the marina and Captain Allen’s Boat that it would be straight shot into the boat with one step down she would be able to enjoy the ride. We rode out to Shell island and through the “cathedral” bridge, which was the route I had requested for the picturesque view. He did not disappoint! Once we were at Ahell Island he put down the anchor then got into the water which was waste deep because he got us a close as possible in his boat. My aunt was able to drop into his arms in the water with him giving her a “hug” and she got into the water not going under or even getting her hair wet. She then walked out to the beach in her own accord. My family found some beautiful shells and TWO Sand dollars!! When it was time to leave he got back into the water again and personally helped her into the boat. My aunt was so pleased with the experience and loved Captain Allen! Thank you for making my cousins and aunt’s experience so much more memorable and special Allen’s Aquatics ! It will be something she will never forget. This is my 5th trip out with visiting friends and family because of Captain Allen. He has out done himself this time. We will never forget this trip because of you, Captain Allen!
Awesome time!!
