Wonderful!

4 Hour – Sandbar & Dolphin Tour on July 14, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

My husband, my two daughters, and I had a wonderful time with Captain Lauren! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and taught us so much throughout the trip.

Our daughters, ages 7 and 9, had endless questions, and Captain Lauren was so patient, engaging, and kind with them. She made the experience truly memorable, and the girls still talk about her as if she’s a family friend! They couldn’t stop saying how sweet she was.

Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she came fully prepared to make it a fun and educational day on the water. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Captain Lauren to anyone looking for an unforgettable outing!

Wonderful day on the water!

4 Hour – Sandbar & Dolphin Cruise on March 26, 2026 • 6 adults

We had an awesome day with Lauren! She is an expert on the water, and so full of knowledge regarding the history of the area, marine life, storm stories and even where to grab a great drink. She was chill and chatty and so easy to interact with. We learned about who owned what gorgeous homes, and saw how they are repairing damaged ones. We saw several groups of dolphins and she took time to let us ooh and ahh and take photos. We stopped at a beautiful tiny island where we found a record number of  sand dollars for the grandkids! Thank you, Lauren for the best day of our bacation! 🌞

Great captain and saw many sea life

4 Hour – Sandbar & Dolphin Tour on March 18, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

Lauren did a wonderful job despite the cold weather and wind. We saw manatees and saw so many dolphins we couldn’t keep track of them all. She was very knowledgeable about everything!! A fisherman at Lovers Key even showed us a small shark he caught because Lauren made friends with him while we were searching the island for shells. Someone else on lovers key gave us a horse shoe crab skeleton. The boat was comfortable and she made sure to bring blankets for us and water. Recommend! I would be very happy to have had better weather but it was still worth it!
