We were so happy with our boat trip. My husband and I booked a half day with Captain Kyle. We were able to customize our trip to do what we wanted. In our case this included a morning of snorkeling, walking on a small island and wading at a sand bar. We even got to see an osprey nest with a mother and babies …. Plus lots of dolphins ! He provided snacks and drinks, too! . We also appreciated his knowledge of the area and restaurant recommendations. it was the perfect getaway morning. I would highly recommend.
Highly recommend Captain Kyle! we were a group of 4 adults and 1 kiddo looking for some fun for everyone. Kyle took us to Egmont Key where we found beautiful shells, then to the ruins for some snorkeling and ended with an amazing time at the sandbar. We were greeted by such a friendly manatee, a floor full of sanddollars and a few crabs! A truly amazing trip!
we saw dolphins and needle fish. caught crabs and star fish. snorkeled and explored the sand bars. Captain was awesome. definitely recommend.
Captain was awesome and so easygoing! We got to see dolphins and the gulf and then hang at the sandbar. 10/10 experience will book again!!
