A great day on the water!
4 Hr – Sandbar & Dolphin Adventure - 1:30 PM on August 22, 20269 adults

There were 8 of us that took the boat for an afternoon to celebrate my friend’s bachelorette and it was absolutely the perfect day! We told captain Marcos that we wanted to see animals and go to the sandbar and he delivered! We saw manatees and dolphins and went to the sandbar so a couple of us could ride the mechanical bull 🤣 the captain was so friendly and helpful and made our day!

Fantastic Family Trip
4 Hr – Sandbar & Dolphin Adventure on July 10, 20269 adults

Captain Jake referred us to Captain Mark. Captain Mark is fantastic! He is native to the area and is very knowledgeable. He listened to our requests and created an amazing family experience. We saw dolphins, manatees, and stingrays. We swam, snorkeled and shelled, finding dozens of sand dollars. Thank you, Captain Mark, for a memorable day! We appreciate you.
