I do need to say up front that I have never kayaked in my entire life, so my review is from the…read moreperspective of an absolute novice. I've always wanted to try it, but it's one of those hobbies that seem to have a couple of barriers. Like, friends have invited me, but I didn't have a kayak to join them. Or I've looked at some of the tour groups, but I never wanted to be that first-timer that kind of holds up the rest of the group, y'know? When I found out my friend Kelly was going on this tour and she had only been kayaking once before, I figured that whatever happened, there'd be at least one other person in the same predicament. I am so glad I went!! The tour was PHENOMENAL. The tour guides bring everything you need - kayak, paddles, and life jackets, so you just have to drive yourself to the location and bring some water & snacks. There was some instruction before we all got in the water, but it's definitely one of those things where you just need to do it for a while before "getting" it. (I'm still not 100% that I got it, but I was way better at the end than at the beginning.) It was a smallish group, about 7 or 8 of us, and we were the only kayakers I saw the entire time we were on the creek. I only ran into two people (fortunately, the people I knew!), and only got stuck on a log once. But I got unstuck and learned to watch out for logs. The tour guides gave some follow-up instruction when I needed it (turning is hard), and the other folks in the group were super-nice and not once did I feel like I was THAT person slowing anyone down. You just kinda paddle forward, and sometimes run into logs if you need to stop. It gets easier after that. I saw 30 million turtles sunning themselves on the side of the creek, a baby snake merrily swimming along, some swallow-tailed kites, an orchid native to NE Florida, and someone tried to point out a baby alligator, but I did not see it. The weather was perfect and the setting was gorgeous. It was so blissfully quiet, as well. A lot of St. Augustine is about getting stuck in traffic, and that gets old real quick. Coming out to this quiet little pocket of uninterrupted nature was exactly what my brain and my soul needed. Two thumbs up, five stars, A++, highly recommend, would (and will!) go again!

I had an incredibly disappointing experience with Jodi Lyn and would not recommend it to anyone…read more From the moment we boarded the boat, it was clear that this operation was more focused on making money than providing a safe or enjoyable experience for their customers. The captain never introduced himself, the first mate was impersonal and seemed in a bad mood from the start. (Several times throughout the trip he would just be standing there shaking his head to himself). First off, the weather/water was not good. It was uncomfortable, and the crew seemed to know that. We expressed our concern and asked if he (first mate) had been out in this bad before and he assured us that it had been just as bad or worse the two days before and it was ok and fish were still caught. Now, keep in mind we had already rescheduled once due to weather and are perfectly reasonable people who would be willing to reschedule again, especially for that amount of money. We were briefed on safety procedures and life jacket's and were met with dismissive attitudes. The entire trip our friends and family were being tossed around the cabin, off the bench, even the coolers were being tossed around. The fishing itself was poorly organized. The fish weren't biting at all, they offered to go bottom fishing but warned us that the boat would be beaten worse and we would be tossed around more (that right there shows you they knew our experience was already less that pleasant ). The first mate seemed rushed and frustrated through the process. Barely talked to us, did seem to talk more to the younger people on the boat though. There was little guidance or effort to make the experience enjoyable for everyone, and it felt like we were just a means to an end -- filling spots on their boat for a quick profit. What frustrated me the most was how clear it was that safety and customer satisfaction took a backseat to their bottom line. When we called the owner afterwards to express our concerns he literally said "I don't blame them for not wanting to call the boss and reschedule again." This was not a fun, relaxing outing, that we paid for, for our son's birthday-it felt like an operation where we were just numbers to them. Save your money and find a charter that values both your safety and your experience. This one does neither.

The day of he took all my friends 2 or 3 at a time sailing around Julington Creek for 20ish minutes or so. Each came back with their own magical feeling of what they had just experienced. Capt Jack. was kind and patient and you could tell he loved sailing. He was a story teller also sharing his experiences and history around this river.. I took my trip last as I wanted the sunset and thats exactly what I got. It was beautiful..breath taking.. the wind blowing in your hair ..the sound of the breeze pressing against the sails..sitting with friends and watching the sun set was a very emotional moment and that is what gives me LIFE.

Now, as for Ocean Extreme and its staff & owners I've personally known Cory and Emily for several years. In that time I've not seen a couple of nicer people that are in business. Emily goes out of her way in every class she teaches to help EVERYONE and keeps her fees so low I dont know how they can afford to drive there with their equipment. They always coordinate SUP Socials, SUP Moonlight Paddles, SUP Yoga, and SUP Surf Lessons( they sometimes ask folks for a few bucks if they have their own equipment other wise their fees are the cheapest around). They have a large Kite Selection, SUP collection and they now even carry the Bote Paddle-boards that all the guys want so they can fish off of them in comfort. Those boards are awesome.. They allow people to try boards which most places don't, they go out of their way all the time to help teach beginners and make sure during our socials everyone has their legal items as SUP's are considered Vessels.. Great people and great prices... Go see their inventory or let them take you on one of their SUP outings. You wont be disappointed .

The weather wasn't the greatest yesterday but they said we could go out anyways if we would like too. We went out and shortly after it started to rain really bad behind us.

The price for the pontoon was fair. We rented it for a half-day. The only reason why I'm knocking off one star is because of the pontoon was a little worn out. It worked fine but it could've been in a little bit better condition. Overall we had a great time and I will definitely use them again in the future.
