Birthday Gift for the Wifey
1.5 Hour Dolphin Eco Tour Afternoon on September 12, 20262 adults

Captain Jon was great! I wanted to take my wife out for a boat ride for her birthday. He took us on a nice cruise, and was very accommodating as it was her first time on a boat. You can talk and laugh with him too which kept the mood light. I would recommend.

December boating trip
4 Hour Trip Sandbar Tour Afternoon on December 20, 20254 adults1 child

We had an amazing time on our boat charter with Captain Jon! The boat itself was excellent—clean, comfortable, and really nice overall. Captain Jon was a lot of fun, super friendly, and incredibly accommodating, making sure everyone had a great experience from start to finish. He knew exactly how to create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water and would absolutely recommend Captain Jon to anyone looking for a top-notch boat charter. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Sunset cruise in St Pete
2 Hour Trip – Sunset/Skyway Lights on March 18, 20263 adults

We had a great time on our sunset cruise with Capt. Jon! His boat was clean and comfy, he had a cooler of ice ready for us, bathrooms were available before taking off, the sunset was gorgeous, and we even spotted a few dolphins. He told us about the area, answered our questions, and showed us the beautiful bridges in the area. Will definitely book again for our next visit.
