Great trip with Captain Kyle!
4 Hour – Sandbar / Dolphin / Fun on April 15, 20262 adults
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.
