4 Hour – Boating Adventure (PM)
We had a super fun and relaxing day on the water with Captain Larry. He was very knowledgeable of the area and had some fantastic suggestions for places to eat, things to do, and other attractions to visit. The waters were a little to rough to snorkel but we still were able to go to the sand bar, see a few manatees, and tour the canals to see some amazing sights. We will definitely be back next year!

4 Hour – Boating Adventure (AM)
We booked this trip hoping to see some wildlife, but unfortunately it was too cold for them to be out. Captain Larry was super accommodating about the change in plans and took us to a sandbar instead where we had a great time. He was incredibly friendly throughout the whole experience and made sure we still had an enjoyable day despite the weather not cooperating for manatee viewing. Would definitely recommend Captain Larry for anyone looking for a relaxed, fun day on the water with a captain who genuinely cares about his guests having a good time.

We had a great time with Larry - he’s very attune to guests needs, everytime we gushed over a dolphin, he slowed down so we could enjoy and take photos. Once we got to sandbar, he let us do our thing and vibe. We also used his Bluetooth and coolers. Great experience and would definitely book again!

4 Hour – Boating Adventure (AM)
Our group of six adults enjoy the 4 hour tour. Larry was flexible with the plan and was open to what would work best for our needs. We went to a sand bar and stomped around for awhile. Didn’t see much sea life, but it was nice to swim around. Then he took us around the island and through the channels. It was a leisurely cruise on flat waters. We did get caught in the rain coming back, but hey-it’s Florida man! Appreciated his patience and relaxed attitude.

If you’re not Living Like Larry, you’re doing it wrong! We booked a half-day private charter and honestly didn’t want to get off the boat. Larry took care of everything — us, our kid, and even our dog (who now thinks Larry is his new best friend). He was so patient, fun, and accommodating the whole time. It felt less like a tour and more like hanging out with a friend who happens to have an awesome boat. 10/10 would live like Larry again!
