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. You embark just off the Bridge Street pier. We saw some dolphins at a distance on the ride. If don't see any dolphins they will give you another tour at a different time for free. Competitive prices. Senior and children discounts. You can bring your own food and drinks. Easy on/off the boat. Tips can be done upon credit card payment or cash after the tour.

We had the best time with Kathe and Sailor; Sailor made the trip extra special for us. We had a…read morespecial needs boy in our group and she made really sincere accommodations for him (avoiding noisy areas). Sailor sniffed out the dolphins and alerted us when he saw them. The dolphins played in our speed waves, it was unbelievable. Kathe is local, lived here her whole life, daughter and wife of a fisherman...so she cares about the area, shows things like bird sanctuaries and is very careful with the gulf life. She has history of the area and a lot of knowledge to share. She has a funny personality and her snd Sailor make a perfect team. Thanks for the memories, Kathe!

That's it. No real conversation unless it was forced, no assistance when it came to explaining the best ways or areas to find sand dollars or starfish which was what our girls (10&11) were wanting to find and the whole afternoon just seemed to be a chore for him. The speakers on his boat were blown, (luckily we brought our own speaker just in case), the cooler that was provided had 1 large block of ice inside so chilling anything that we brought was nearly impossible and when 30 minutes before our tour arrived he couldn't get us back to dock soon enough. At one point the girls started to get a little too far away from the boat while paddle boarding and he told me to "get them back closer to us". When we arrived at the dock we weren't moving quickly enough to get off of his boat and he very rudely informed us that other boats were waiting for him to move so we needed to hurry up. Had I known that we would be riding on a glorified John boat with bean bags for seats and a boat captain that was a cold fish I would have definitely reconsidered spending the amount of money that we did or the time that we did.
