I've been around boats my whole life and love sharing that passion with others. Over the years, I've owned plenty of boats and rented them out, which inspired me to get my captain's license. Many people want to enjoy the water without worrying about navigating, anchoring, or handling busy waterways—so I take care of it all. My guests just need to relax, have fun, and enjoy their day on the water—that's my job!
I want to give a quick explanation because theres alot that do not know. Pontoons have 2 toons under them. A tritoon has 3. The toons are the aluminum cylinders under the deck. Tritoons are way more stable and do not rock and sway as bad. It also floats better along with added hp engines on tritoons to get to the destination faster. I captain a tritoon!! I believe it is more suited for going into the gulf to find dolphins and shelling in my opinion. It's my job to keep everyone safe so we can have a great time without a sketchy boat ride. Noone wants to be scared all day because waters coming over the front of a pontoon boat. Thanks for listening.

Special 4 hour trip for Michelle King • 6 adultsWe had the best time with Capt Trent! We got to see and do so much and he is so knowledgeable about the different areas. We saw dolphins, hunted for sand dollars, snorkeled around Shell Island and took in the views along the way. This trip was perfect for our kids (two 8 yr old boys and a 2 yr old). We will definitely book again with Trent. You will not regret spending some time on his boat!

4 Hour – Shell Island and dolphins • 6 adults • 1 childI dont even know where to begin. This was the best experience! Trent was very chill, prepared, fun, knowledgeable, flexible, the list goes on. He will make sure you have a good time. His boat is clean, there is snorkel equipment, cooler and stocked with ice. We will book again next time we are in Florida!

4 Hour – Dolphins & Crab I (copy)Trent was very nice and friendly, we had a lot of fun and knew how to navigate through crab island very well, he has snorkeling and water toys that you can use. I will recommend him to everyone that wants to go to crab island or anywhere else near
