Best Captains!

Dan and Deacon were amazing captains. They were very welcoming and knowledgeable in sharing the history and insights of the area. We had a lot of fun, enjoyed drinks, saw dolphins, and a once in a lifetime sunset. Would highly recommend and visit again!

Far exceeded our expectations!!!

This trip totally exceeded expectations! Captain Dan and Captain Carley were absolutely fantastic hosts. The boat was very clean and comfortable. We not only saw dolphins and had them jumping through the wake of the boat, the sunset was spectacular!!! Highly recommend and it’s a great “bang for your buck.”
