Our 4-hour charter with Kyle was perfect! He took us to a remote island and we had it to ourselves for most of the time we were there. We snorkeled, swam, and shelled. The water was shallow and great for kids. Kyle also had fishing rods on the boat so we had an impromptu fishing trip as well. The kids were so excited to catch several trout. Kyle was a great host and was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and area. We had a wonderful time and will book again.
thank you for the great review jeanette it really was a beautiful day out on the water today. i hope it was everything you expected and more! reach out anytime your are in town, have a great rest of your trip.
If you’re deciding between renting a boat or booking a captain, do this instead. We spent a half day on the water with Kyle and it ended up being one of the best parts of our trip. We chose the “local experience,” which felt exactly like it sounds, no rush, no touristy script, just a great day exploring. Our tween and teen were fully into it. We stopped at small islands, hunted for seashells, saw a manatee and dolphins, and had time to just float and relax in the ocean. It struck a nice balance between activity and downtime, which is not easy with kids that age. Kyle made the whole thing easy. He’s knowledgeable, laid-back, and clearly knows the area well. More importantly, he kept a close eye on safety without making it feel restrictive. If you’ve heard the saying “you don’t want a boat, you want a friend with a boat,” that’s exactly what this felt like. Kyle is that friend. Highly recommend the half day trip, especially if you want something flexible, low-stress, and genuinely memorable. https://www.floridalocalcharters.com/?fbclid=IwVERDUARjfxVleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEexjci65-2-OD-nYXB2-FTgTvPfFZQSs0eRaLEperNssnsStuYOwLwUKhqCiE_aem_brRGzgTODcv-v2f1Ou7XfQ
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review Kristen, it means a lot! I’m glad the trip was a highlight and that the relaxed, “local experience” was just what you hoped for. Great to hear the kids enjoyed exploring, spotting wildlife, and playing on the floating mat! Safety is always a top priority, so I appreciate you mentioning that. And I love the “friend with a boat” comment, that’s exactly the vibe I aim for as a boat captain. which can sometimes be hit or miss! Thanks again, and you and your family are always welcome back! enjoy the rest of your trip and safe travels back home, captain kyle- florida local charters.
Kyle met us at the marina, was early and ready to go. The pontoon boat was immaculate, quiet and much quicker than anticipated. Kyle was a great captain and took us out of the harbor to view the coastline and look for dolphins which were more than happy to cooperate and tended to their feeding around the boat. We stopped at two small islands and explored a bit. Overall, it was a wonderful and relaxing way to spend half a day on the water.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re really glad we were able to get you back on the schedule. It turned out to be such a beautiful day—perfect winds and crystal-clear water—definitely one to remember. It was a pleasure spending time with you both. We truly enjoyed chatting with you and your husband and soaking up the sunshine together. Thanks again for being such a fantastic group—we hope to see you again soon! safe travels on your way back home tomorrow.
Highly recommend Kyle. He went above and beyond to make our day memorable and fun. We will definitely book with him again!
