Captain Josh and first mate Shane were very informative about the marine life, birds, boats the Intracoastal and local businesses in this 90 minute relaxed tour on a 30 person pontoon.

Booking was super easy and the rental process was thoroughly explained. We invited two other couples to join us and found the pontoon boat that we chose to be spacious and comfortable for the six of us and one dog. We arrived around 8:45am to check in and carry our belongings down to the dock where everything was loaded into the boat for us which was nice. We were then given an explanation of the area map and a tour of the boat. We had an amazing day on the water where we saw several dolphins, found dozens of sand dollars, parked at some sandbars and caught a few fish. We arrived back at the dock at 5:00pm and unloaded our stuff onto the dock where it was loaded into a cart and wheeled to our vehicles for us which we really appreciated. The fine folks at Cortez Watersports were friendly and catered to us beyond our expectations. We would definitely visit them again and highly recommend that you consider them for your next on the water outing.

He and his dad started this company when he was 18 and his passion really shows. We saw two schools of Stingray and Manatee too! It was the perfect day for us and we will definitely be back next time (and every time) we are in Anna Maria!! Highly recommend!
