We had a wonderful time with Captain Nick. His communication when booking and up to the trip was fantastic as were instructions on when and where to meet, it couldn’t have been easier. Nick’s boat is beautiful and he is super knowledgeable about the area, flora and fauna. We saw dolphins playing in the boat’s wake about 5 minutes after boarding! The island Nick took us to had literally thousands of beautiful shells, it was incredible. We cant wait to come back when Shell Island reopens, wont hesitate to book with Nick again. Thank you for a lovely day!
Captain Nick led us on a very enjoyable ride to see dolphins both playing in wake and also enjoying their natural habitat. He was knowledgeable of the area and took us to a beach for shelling. We found many very cool shells! Would absolutely recommend to anyone.
Saw plenty of wildlife. Highlight was watching a pod of dolphins feeding and then playfully following in our slipstream. Captain Nick was great fun and very knowledgable.
Captain Nick, was funny, knowledgable, great Captain, and had so much experience, this was an absolute awesome trip!!! He explained things we didn't know about the gulf waters, and found us a lot of dolphins! Im a retired Cop and felt like Captain Nick was family! I cant say enough great things about him. When i come back, ill be taking my dream shark fishing trip with Captain Nick! Thank you from my whole family!!! Really made our trip!
We went on a boat ride, the 2 hour dolphin eco tour around the 10,000 Islands! We saw lots of dolphins and Captain Nick even got them to ride the boat waves! This was very family friendly tour, Nick was knowledgeable and helped us create a great family memory!😊
