11/10
We had an absolutely amazing time on our boat tour with Captain Scott! He went above and beyond for our family from start to finish. He took us to a beautiful sandbar, Pigeon Key, and guided us through the mangroves while sharing the history of the 7 Mile Bridge and local wildlife. What meant the most to us was how patient and accommodating he was with our youngest. It was her very first time snorkeling, and he made her feel safe, comfortable, and excited to try something new. He took photos for us, showed us some incredible spots, and even found a pod of dolphins. Truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Captain Scott!

Memory-Making Day in the Water
Captain Scott catered our day to our interests and desired experiences! Our kids ranging from 17-22 had face to face snorkeling encounters with large fish and felt at times as this they were in their own personal episode of Blue Planet. The Salt Dancer was perfect for us! Captain Scott has tremendous experience and knowledge of the area.
