The guide was so nice and knowledgeable. He did a great job explaining the marine life and telling us fun facts about the area while also making it enjoyable and entertaining.

The Anclote River in Tarpon Springd

Great launch location with easy parking. Relaxing trip down the Anclote River through the Mangroves. Julie our guide shared information on Tarpon Springs, the oyster beds to the variety of Mangrove trees. Saw some Ibis in flight and along the river, eagles circling and even little fiddler crabs. Beautiful cruise on a beautiful day. Thanks for the info on National Bakery too, best baklava I've had.

We had a great time on our kayaking tour with River Wild Kayaking! Our guide was named Albert "Alby" and he was absolutely wonderful. During our tour we saw a wild dolphin, an eagle, stingrays and various birds and fish. We also got to see and learn more about the history of the Florida mangroves. Overall a very wonderful experience - would go again, specifically with Alby, he was fantastic!

Two manatees surfacing for air...hard to see in the photo but much better in person!

Our family used this charter to commemorate my mother's passing and it was a wonderful experience…read more The staff was very empathetic and accommodating. The catamaran exceeded our expectations and we would definitely use them in the future and would most definitely recommend their charter service.

I am extremely disappointed with how this charter from Sweet Escape Charters was handled…read more I received a last-minute text message informing me that my charter was canceled because the captain who held the required license for groups larger than six passengers "unexpectedly resigned." As a result, the company stated they could no longer legally accommodate my booking as originally planned. The message offered three options: reduce our group to six people, reschedule for a later date, or accept a refund. While I understand that staffing issues can occur, this explanation and solution are not acceptable given that this was a pre-booked, planned event that multiple people organized their schedules around. What is most frustrating is the timing and lack of proper contingency planning. A business offering group charters should not be in a position where a single staffing change results in last-minute cancellations or forced downsizing of paid bookings. This reflects poor organization and a lack of reliability. Because of this, I had to scramble last minute to salvage my birthday plans. What was supposed to be a chartered experience has now turned into a simple beach day with drinking games and making the best of a situation that should never have been handled this way. Overall, the experience was highly inconvenient and disappointing, and it significantly disrupted our plans. For a service that markets itself around special outings and experiences, this level of instability is not acceptable. I would strongly caution others against booking with Sweet Escape Charters unless you are comfortable with the possibility of last-minute cancellations and significant disappointment, especially for important events.
