Wonderful day on the water!

4 Hour – Sandbar & Dolphin Cruise6 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! 🌞

    Fantastic captain

    4 Hour – Sandbar & Dolphin Cruise6 adults

    Captain Lauren was a delight! Super informative and would bring us right around the wildlife within respectable distance. We all learned a tremendous amount from her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a laid back day, with a captain that is friendly and willing to give some insider secrets.

    Response from Captain

    Thanm you Thomas! Im glad you all had fun, hopefully the sand dollars survive the trip home, and have a great time with the family this week!!

    Great captain and saw many sea life

    4 Hour – Sandbar & Dolphin Tour4 adults2 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!

    Response from Captain

    thank you sarah! so fun seeing that dolphin toss that fish around! I wish the weather was warmer too, hope you guys enjoyed your trip and hope to see you again!

    Amazing tour

    2 Hour – Dolphin Cruise6 adults

    Captain Lauren was so knowledgeable about everything; the history of the area, the waters, the dolphins and birds and so many other creatures of Florida. We had a fanatic tour with lots of dolphin sightings. Would highly recommend. we went on Valentine's Day and she had her cute little heart-shaped sunglasses and Valentine beads and Valentine headband she was ready for the day. Very relaxing.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Cindy! So glad yall had a great time, that baby dolphin was the cutest! Happy Valentines Day and thank you!!

    Awesome Captain!

    4 Hour – Sandbar & Dolphin Cruise4 adults

    Weather was coming in bad on and off this weekend, and we were able to adjust time last minute to have an amazing time still. Saw dolphins, manatees, and turtles. Will almost definitely use her again if we in the area.
