Wonderful Independence Day! 🇺🇸🍾💃🏼
4 Hour – Sandbar Excursion (PM) on June 28, 202611 adults

Thanks to Captain Jake for his professionalism! He was tracking the weather and we knew for sure that we were safe despite the gray sky! As soon as our trip ended, it started to rain! Our captain calculated everything to the minute! The boat is covered with a roof from the sun, there are comfortable soft sofas inside, Wi-Fi and you can listen to music outside and inside. There is also a large refrigerator with ice. We chilled on Sandbar Island and admired the dolphins! It was an amazing trip! Thanks to Captain Jake!

Jake was the best! We had an incredible day on the water. From the moment we stepped aboard, Jake made us feel welcome. He customized the trip perfect for our family. We were able to go to an island, sand bar, and see beautiful views along the way. The boat was comfortavle with the ability to listen to our favorite music. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable day on the water, I couldn’t reccommend this charter enough. It was one of the highlights of our vacation!

Amazing time!
4 Hour – Sandbar Excursion (AM) on May 18, 202610 adults

We had such an amazing day on our boat trip. We saw so many dolphins which was our main hope for the day. We all agreed this was the best day of our family holiday. Captain Jake was great, we unfortunately had some delays getting to the boat due to a traffic incident but Jake very kindly waited for us and didn't deduct the time from our trip. He also took us to a beautiful empty beach for swimming and was very knowledgeable on the wildlife.

Captain Jake was not only great but its a great feeling supporting the locla guy that is trying to compete with these other bigger companies. Jake is patient and very great to chat with. Our group size was 9 guys (20-22 year old) and he knew that places that the guys would wnjoy our time on the water and the sights. support the local small business. prices are very competitive and fair.
