BEST DAY EVER!
4 Hour Trip- Cruise/Sandbar 1pm-5pm on April 3, 2026

Our family had such a wonderful experience on our latest outing with Captain Jerry. He is always very accommodating to the guests and goes above and beyond with clients to ensure they have a positive experience on the water. His boat is sparkling clean and on our last outing we were able to see several dolphins too. He knows the waters and makes our time on the boat such a memorable opportunity to spend time with family. These are priceless times that you will cherish for a lifetime. There's no one out there that care more. Book the trip. It's worth it!

Response from Captain

4 Hour Trip- Cruise/Sandbar 1pm-5pm on April 7, 20262 adults2 children

We booked last minute on a cloudy, windy day, but it was still perfect with Captain Jerry and his boat! We were able to see dolphins, birds, fish. Stopped at a island and found amazing shells. And enjoyed the ride around beautiful parts of Sarasota. The kids loved it also, they had so much fun and Captain Jerry was so kind, knowledgable, and accomdating. Highly recommend to others and will book with him again!
