    Amazing river cruise today with Captain Hirams river boat tours. Our guide and captain were both SPECTACULAR, very knowledgeable and very informative while also being amazingly humorous and personable. Would DEFINITELY recommend to anyone, local or visitor. Thank you!

    This is a manatee

    My wife and I were on the Captain Hirams River cruise at 1 o'clock over the weekend. The boat trip was about two hours, and it was absolutely amazing. We saw dolphins, birds, stingrays, and other wildlife that was pointed out by Chris the second mate on the cruise. The captain did a great job and Chris was awesome. He gave some really good scientific background on the wildlife as well as a history of the area and many other facts. My wife and I were really overjoyed when we got back. We had lunch there at Captain Hirams with 20% gift certificate that they gave us when we assigned up for the cruise . Again, a special shout out for Chris a great tour.

    Pelicans on dredge line

    Thoroughly enjoyed our River Cruise with Captain Joe and Josh as our guides. I'm a native Floridian but actually learned a lot of interesting facts from Josh's narration. We were fortunate to see several dolphin, manatee, pelicans, fish, as well as many other estuary birds. Had no idea how light pelicans are as they perch atop thin light Australian Pine branches! Joe and Josh are so familiar with this lagoon and know where to find many dolphin and manatee for viewing. Also the boat was turned multiple ways to allow everyone on board access to great views. Very well done! We would definitely go again next time we visit Melbourne Beach.

    They advertise pet friendly but they were sure to kick us out with our 3lb dog and backwards talk about the pet policy

    Overall Rating: 4.7 Atmosphere: 4.5 | Service: 5.0 | Food:…read moreN/A | Equipment: 4.5 | Price Per Smile: 5.0 What a wonderful day out on the waters of Sebastian Inlet and the Indian River. Arrived as a walk in and the team got me signed up, schooled on jetski use, and off onto the water efficiently. Jetski was new with lots of power and cool features. Will return here to rent boats again.

    Automatic 5 stars just cause I was an idiot and beached my jetski on a sandbar and two gals came…read moreout and helped me drag it to deeper water. Derp! I should have seen from the lighter coloration of the water there even with my non-prescription sunglasses so water splashed. Somehow I thought a sandbar couldn't extend so far, nearby fishermen only up to their knees be damned. The sandbar was way wide and there was just no dragging it to deep enough water with my skinny arms. And gunning the motor is useless if it's not submerged in water. I was a jetski novice, obviously, and don't know jack about it but now at least a little more than what I did. The jetskis here top out around 45 mph though just for an instant I did hit 47. Midafternoon isn't the best choice I learned as the Indian River tends to be choppier than in the morning. This didn't bother me much on the way out as I was going with the current but the waves will be rougher on you against the current. And they seemed even rougher still after my sandbar humiliation. I actually found that the ride is the roughest around 30 mph or so and if you come closer to topping it out up in the 40 mphs you'll get a smoother ride. At least if you're going in the same direction as the waves or that was my experience anyway. I rode about 6 miles from the docks and even got to check out a private little island in the river taking a little dip to cool off since I was pretty wet anyway. You might think that's where I beached my jetski but you'd be wrong. Too easy. I got a gnarly bit of sunburn on my normally pasty skin though I've had worse. I did apply sunscreen but only up to my t-shirt line and then opted to go shirtless as they give you a vest anyway. Mistake number two. My upper arms and shoulders were red as a lobster and peeled for days. I also wasn't liberal enough with the sunscreen on the backs of my hands. I had some peeling there as well. The way out was pretty exhilarating and the way back was a trail of tears so learn from my rookie mistakes if you can. I don't know if I'll do this again but I was glad to cross it off the bucket list.
