    December boating trip

    4 Hour Trip Sandbar Tour Afternoon • 5 adults • 1 child

    We had an amazing time on our boat charter with Captain Jon! The boat itself was excellent—clean, comfortable, and really nice overall. Captain Jon was a lot of fun, super friendly, and incredibly accommodating, making sure everyone had a great experience from start to finish. He knew exactly how to create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water and would absolutely recommend Captain Jon to anyone looking for a top-notch boat charter. We’ll definitely be booking again!

    Birthday Gift for the Wifey

    1.5 Hour Dolphin Eco Tour Afternoon • 2 adults

    Captain Jon was great! I wanted to take my wife out for a boat ride for her birthday. He took us on a nice cruise, and was very accommodating as it was her first time on a boat. You can talk and laugh with him too which kept the mood light. I would recommend.

    Sunset cruise in St Pete

    2 Hour Trip – Sunset/Skyway Lights • 3 adults

    We had a great time on our sunset cruise with Capt. Jon! His boat was clean and comfy, he had a cooler of ice ready for us, bathrooms were available before taking off, the sunset was gorgeous, and we even spotted a few dolphins. He told us about the area, answered our questions, and showed us the beautiful bridges in the area. Will definitely book again for our next visit.
