From the very beginning, he was so helpful, patient, and genuinely kind--he took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. His professionalism and friendliness really made the process easy and enjoyable. The boats are always clean, well-maintained, and ready to go, which makes every outing feel like a mini vacation. Instead of worrying about all the responsibilities of boat ownership, we just get to show up, enjoy the water, and make memories. If you've ever dreamed of boating without the hassle, Freedom Boat Club is the way to go--and if you're lucky enough to work with Peter, you'll be in the best hands!

If you're trying to decide whether this dolphin tour is worth booking, the answer is absolutely…read moreyes. Captain Jim and First Mate Brandon made this one of the highlights of our trip. They were knowledgeable, engaging, funny, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone had a great experience. From the moment we boarded, they checked in with guests throughout the tour to make sure everyone was comfortable and had everything they needed. The tour includes complimentary beverages, including water, beer, and wine, which made the ride even more relaxing. The boat was comfortable, the pace was enjoyable, and there was plenty of time to take in the scenery. The best part, of course, was seeing the dolphins. Captain Jim knew exactly where to take us and shared fascinating information about dolphin behavior, their habits, and the local ecosystem while we watched them in their natural habitat. It felt like much more than a sightseeing tour--it was educational without ever feeling like a lecture. If you're wondering whether you'll actually see dolphins, we saw several during our trip, and the crew did an excellent job positioning the boat so everyone had a chance to enjoy the experience and take photos. Whether you're visiting as a couple, with family, or with friends, I highly recommend this tour. It's relaxing, informative, well-organized, and worth every penny. I would absolutely book it again.

We had a great day and would book with them again & again. Thanks for a perfect day on the water!

My family was vacationing in Anna Maria Island, and we wanted to do some sort of boat trip while we…read morewere there. We've done tours on other trips to other places, but I really didn't want to be on a big boat with lots of strangers. When I saw this tour, and all the great reviews, I knew this was what we needed to do. Susan was great handling the booking (I booked a month or so in advance, which was good so that we could get the time/day we wanted!) They did an excellent job of following up on the booking, then confirming the day before and making sure they knew what we wanted and answered our last minute questions. Parking at their storefront was easy, and the boat itself is just across the street. We showed up a few minutes early to be outfitted for snorkel gear which was quick and easy. It was a bright and sunny day, and Mike had us head out to Egmont Key so that we could explore the island. What was really awesome was that they didn't expect you to jump off the front of the boat (unless you wanted to of course!), they had steps that you could use that were quick and easy (and with a bad back, very necessary). It was a super hot day, so he gave us bottles of water, explained the layout of the island and off we went to explore. We saw some turtles, the lighthouse, and the fort ruins, and then had a nice walk on the beach before re-boarding the boat. He then took us just a little ways off shore to some rocky ruins in the water and got us out snorkeling. They have pool noodles if you just want to float, and they also had a big floating mat that you could lay on if you wanted! When we had our fill we climbed back on board and we were off to Passage Key. The water around Passage Key is amazingly clear - even waist deep you could pretty well see the all the way down. This area was very sandy, but the bottom was covered with hundreds and hundreds of sand dollars. You could feel them just under the sand when you walked, and you could then dig them out with your toes or just go under water and grab them. The key is that you cannot take any live ones - so if they are brown and fuzzy you have to put them back. We trolled around digging up sand dollars for quite some time - we must have dug up hundreds, but that day we only managed to come across one white, dead sand dollar that we could keep (but we did find several gorgeous "sunset" shells that were cool!) At this point we climbed back into the boat and saw that a thunderstorm was approaching in the distance, so we headed back for the marina. We were disappointed that we didn't get to see any manatee that day, but we knew that you can't always plan for that. We arrived at the marina just as a few drops were falling so the timing was perfect!! We booked the 4 hour tour so that we would not be hurried, and we used every minute of it - I wouldn't have changed a thing. You absolutely need to book this tour - why share an experience with a bunch of strangers when you can have the boat all to yourselves! You won't regret it, it was certainly one of the highlights from this trip!!
