The tour was excellent. Captain John was incredibly knowledgeable, had a fantastic sense of humor, and navigated skillfully despite the strong winds in the bay. I highly recommend this company and suggest you request Captain John.
Captain John was fantastic and provided an incredible experience with manatees, turtles, alligators, and a variety of wildlife and history during our boat trip. He even let my grandson take a turn at the wheel, which was fun. It was truly the best time, and we will gladly recommend this to anyone wanting to see manatees.

We had an amazing experience! My 5-year-old grandson loved the shuttle van, while the rest of us thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Captain Marty.
