Captain Lynn Truelove made our family feel so comfortable and taken care of. We got to see so many dolphins and it was really fun just being out on the water for a few hours! Captain Lynn was full of cool stories and we could just tell he's knowledgeable of the area. He treated us like we were family just hanging out on his boat for the day. This Kansas crew will be back and we will book with him again!
