Amazing Boat Trip
3 Hour – Bay Cruise/Sandbar Tour on April 17, 20264 adults

If you’re looking for the BEST day on the water in Sarasota, look no further! Our boat captain Christopher was absolutely incredible—professional, knowledgeable, and so much fun to be around. From start to finish, everything was seamless and stress-free. He knew all the best spots, we saw lots of dolphins, visited a Tiki Bar, he made sure everyone was comfortable and safe, and truly went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it shows in every detail. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want a perfect day on the water, I can’t recommend him enough. We will definitely be booking again! 🌊☀️🚤

4 Hour – Bay Cruise/ Sandbar (pm) on July 23, 20266 adults1 child

Our experience with Chris was 100/10 It was easy to communicate with the captain, boat was clean, he had water and ice ready for us, he knew the fun spots, gave us time to hang out and enjoy the view, the ocean and just be present. We were 4 adults, 2 kids and 1 toddler and we had plenty of space on the boat. This trip was the highlight of our trip!

Relaxing day on the sandbar
4 Hour – Bay Cruise/ Sandbar (Noon) on June 18, 20266 adults

We had a beautiful day on the ocean. We saw manatee and dolphin. We enjoyed laying on the raft at the sandbar. Throwing the football around, and looking for shells. Captain Chris was very nice.
