Captain Santiago

Sandbar & Dolphins 4hr (PM)5 adults

Excellent boat trip! Captain Santiago was an excellent host. We toured Egmont key and Passage key. We did some fishing, and he showed us the lay of the land and sea around Anna Maria Island all while educating us in the history of the island. We saw beautiful properties along the bay as well. Our group would recommend him and hopefully will add two boat tours when we return next year.

I'm very happy to know everyone had a great time! I enjoyed meeting the crew and hosting a fun experience with a very cool Tarpon show! I look forward to next time 🏖️☀️🐬🤿🎣

    Bra

    Sandbar & Dolphins 4hr (PM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    Båtturen var fantastiskt, kaptenen var jätte trevlig och bra. Det enda som gjorde vår tripp mindre bra var vädret. Hade solen varit framme och det varit varmare hade upplevelsen varit den bästa.

    Thank you for choosing Bay2Bay Tours! I'm glad everyone had a great time, even though the weather didn't fully cooperate.

    Boating with Isander

    Sandbar & Dolphins 4hr (PM) • 5 adults • 1 child

    My family of 5 (3 kids from 12-16) had an amazing afternoon with Captain Santiago yesterday. From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made us feel at ease, safe and the day was ours to enjoy. He went out of his way to make sure we did everything we wanted and remained safe, away from pending storms. My kids loved the sand bars, collecting sand dollars and shells, throwing the football, floating on pool noodle and wresting on the air track. Santiago had plenty of water and soda for us. The best part was spotting a manta ray jumping out of the water and following a dolphin swimming in the bay. Perfect relaxing afternoon on the water. Thank you!

    It was fun hosting such a nice family, and I'm happy to know everyone had a great time! Thank you for your flexibility in adjusting to weather conditions. Until next time! 🏝️☀️🐬

    Highlight of our trip!

    3 Hr – Dolphins & Sandbars (AM) • 6 adults • 4 children

    Santiago is the best! This was our first time visiting Anna Maria Island, and we had a blast, definitely the highlight of our trip! He is very knowledgeable and shared so much information, he was fun, and had a lot of fun stuff for use to use while we got to swim at the sandbar (snorkel gear, nets, raft, etc). He made sure we got to see dolphins before leaving which was absolutely beautiful! He was so accommodating and so great with my kids, we were all so happy! All boxes were checked and he exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be returning and booking again with Santiago and Bay2Bay Boat Tours again! Thank you!!

    Thank you for sharing your experience, and for cruising with me and Bay2Bay Tours! While we always strive to be the highlight of our guest's visit, it is great to know that was the case for your family, and that everyone had a really fun time. Until next time! 🏝️☀️🐬

    Relaxing Evening on the water 🌊

    2 Hr – Stunning Sunset Cruise • 2 adults

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a wonderful time on our sunset boat trip last night! The boat was spotless and comfortable, and our captain, Islander, was absolutely fantastic. He was warm, personable, and made us feel completely at ease the whole time. My aunt and I were both very fond of him—he truly made the experience special. We even docked for a drink at a bar along the way, and Islander was nothing but friendly and professional. Highly recommend this trip if you’re looking for a relaxing, scenic evening on the water with great company!
