⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Phenomenal experience! We had such an incredible time on our cruise with Captain Jon! He was an awesome driver—super skilled, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone on board had a smooth and fun ride. To top it all off, we got to see dolphins, which made the whole trip absolutely unforgettable. If you’re on the fence about booking, just do it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be coming back! Thanks, Captain Jon!
Thank you Jennifer! So glad y’all enjoyed!
We had such an amazing time with Capt Jon. He was able to personalize our plans based on our priorities and needed accommodations. We had fun watching a dolphin chase down fish and spent time swimming around shell island and collecting shells. Jon even helped us find some cool ones 😎 He is a great communicator and captain and we will recommend him to friends and family and if we come back we will definitely go back out with him! Thanks!!
Thank you Sarah!! So glad y’all enjoyed!
Our experience with Captain Jon’s private boating trip was truly unforgettable from start to finish. I booked this as a special Spring Break outing for my girlfriend, our two boys, our dog Beau, and myself—but it also doubled as a very meaningful moment, as I planned to propose at Shell Island since my girlfriend and the boys love shell hunting. From the beginning, Jon went above and beyond. He proactively reached out about an incoming cold front and suggested we adjust our date to ensure the best possible experience. That level of thoughtfulness made a huge difference, and I appreciated it more than I can say—we ended up with wonderful weather. During the trip, Jon worked hard to make it special for all of us. He even made sure we got to see dolphins, which the boys were thrilled about! When we arrived at Shell Island, everything fell into place for a beautiful, intimate proposal. Without me even asking, Jon captured photos of the moment—something we’ll cherish forever. That small but meaningful gesture really speaks to the kind of person he is. Jon was incredibly kind, patient, and personable throughout the entire trip. He made our family feel comfortable right away, was so friendly with our dog Beau on his first boat ride, and even let our boys take turns driving the boat—something they’re still talking about! He has a calm, easygoing presence and is genuinely enjoyable to be around. This wasn’t just a boating trip—it was a core memory for our family. I can’t recommend Captain Jon highly enough. If you’re considering booking, don’t hesitate—it is absolutely worth it.
Thank you Lucy!! So glad y’all enjoyed! And congratulations again! Glad I could help be a part of it!
We had such a wonderful and memorable dolphin-watching tour with Captain John! 🐬 He took my daughter and me to some beautiful spots where we were able to see dolphins up close. It made her birthday extra special and created memories we’ll cherish. Captain John is so friendly and personable, and we’re already looking forward to booking another boat tour with him in the future. Highly recommend! ⭐️
Thank you Christina! So glad y’all enjoyed!
We really enjoyed our shelling adventure! Captain Jon was super nice and informative. The boat ride was fun. We saw lots of birds, crabs, hermit crabs, dolphins, coyotes and left with buckets of shells. We had never done anything like this before but it was such a great addition to our trip. 10/10 would highly recommend!
Thank you Nicole! So glad y’all enjoyed!
