Kyle met us at the marina, was early and ready to go. The pontoon boat was immaculate, quiet and much quicker than anticipated. Kyle was a great captain and took us out of the harbor to view the coastline and look for dolphins which were more than happy to cooperate and tended to their feeding around the boat. We stopped at two small islands and explored a bit. Overall, it was a wonderful and relaxing way to spend half a day on the water.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re really glad we were able to get you back on the schedule. It turned out to be such a beautiful day—perfect winds and crystal-clear water—definitely one to remember. It was a pleasure spending time with you both. We truly enjoyed chatting with you and your husband and soaking up the sunshine together. Thanks again for being such a fantastic group—we hope to see you again soon! safe travels on your way back home tomorrow.

If you’re deciding between renting a boat or booking a captain, do this instead. We spent a half day on the water with Kyle and it ended up being one of the best parts of our trip. We chose the “local experience,” which felt exactly like it sounds, no rush, no touristy script, just a great day exploring. Our tween and teen were fully into it. We stopped at small islands, hunted for seashells, saw a manatee and dolphins, and had time to just float and relax in the ocean. It... More

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review Kristen, it means a lot! I’m glad the trip was a highlight and that the relaxed, “local experience” was just what you hoped for. Great to hear the kids enjoyed exploring, spotting wildlife, and playing on the floating mat! Safety is always a top priority, so I appreciate you mentioning that. And I love the “friend with a boat” comment, that’s exactly the vibe I aim for as a boat captain. which can sometimes be hit or miss! Thanks... More

4 Hour – Boating Adventure

Half day trip with Captain Kyle

We had gone on a Charter Boat with lots of other people and it was okay but not what we were looking for. We got to looking at private Charters and came across Florida Local Charters and we booked him. We had the Best Day of our vacation with him. He took us to several places you can only access by boat. We got hundreds of shells and saw some Beautiful places we would have never been able to see. Kyle took his time to make sure we got to experience everything possible. We seen Dolphins a few... More
