Capt Steve was great. Lived his whole life in Florida. Explained the area well to us. Gave us extra time to se and film the dolphins.
Great evening out!

We had an amazing time! Captain Ford was incredible—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience unforgettable. We enjoyed every moment and can’t wait to come back, hopefully with him as our captain again!
