Amazing Nautical Adventure
4 Hour – Sightseeing Tour on June 29, 20254 adults2 children
Our group had an amazing time with Captain Steven. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the best locations to see them. We saw several pods of dolphins which played in the boat wake, found a mama & newborn baby manatee, saw tarpon fish, and tons of different species of birds. We stopped on a secluded island and found seashells and swam. Captain Steven was accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive when communicating through Boat Bookers. We very much enjoyed our boating excursion & would highly recommend booking through Nelson’s Nautical Charters.
