10/10 Captain! Would do again!

3 Hour – Sandbars & Swim Stops4 adults

Captain Rafael was very kind, attentive to the groups needs and very knowledgable of what to do! We saw dolphind and manatees on the trip and had great swimming spots! His photo taking skills we also on point! Would highly recommend his trips!

    Fantastic trip

    4th of July Fireworks

    WOW! We had such a great time with Captain Raphael and Simone! We booked a fireworks watching tour for the 4th of July. After our 1st few minutes we knew we were in very capable hands with a skilled Captain. He was very conscientious of our comfort and kept us on a very smooth path. (That was so nice because I have gotten a little queasy on other boat trips in the past.) Raphael and Simone communicated very well and were so friendly-we loved them immediately! Our ride over to Sarasota harbor was so enjoyable-we actually kept commenting to each other on how great this was and we should do this every year! Once we arrived in Sarasota Bay, Raphael positioned us perfectly so we could watch the fireworks completely unobstructed. It was such a great night! I don’t know why we haven’t done this sooner. Our ride back to Osprey was gorgeous and we saw more fireworks on the entire ride back-double bonus!!! The boat was very comfortable for 4 of us, it was clean and they provided water and ice for us and allowed us to bring our own as well. The pricing was reasonable. He was waiting for us on time when we arrived, and we all felt that we were safe in very competent hands! Highly recommended this company! Thank you Raphael and Simone-we had the best time and will definitely call again for a sand bar fun day!

    Our Favorite Day!

    4 Hour – Sightseeing/Wildlife Tour • 6 adults

    Captain Raphael is awesome! We were a group of six adults. We wanted to spend the day at Sandbar‘s and relaxing in the water. He knew all the spots to take us. He is knowledgeable and professional. The boat fits six comfortably. He had a cooler on board with ice and some waters. We stopped for drinks at Jacks Marina after running out of what we brought. Raphael was cool and chill and really made the boating day lovely. We will definitely book him again in the future.

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Amanda! It was a pleasure having your group aboard. I’m glad everyone enjoyed the sandbars, the beautiful water, and the relaxed day on the boat. Thank you for your kind words about my service and local knowledge—it means a lot. I look forward to welcoming you back for another great day on the water in the future!

    Our favorite day!!!

    3 Hour – Sightseeing/Wildlife Tour • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had the best day! We brought our two year old and she had a blast with us! A life vest was prepared for her so she would be safe on board. Captain Raphael took us to some amazing spots around Siesta Key and Casey Key. Our favorite spot was Snake Island! It's been our favorite day of our vacation and we can't wait to book again!

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you, Leah for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure having you and your family aboard. It means a lot to hear it was the highlight of your vacation. I look forward to welcoming you back for another great day on the water!

    Rhode Island Girl’s Trip

    3 Hour – Sandbars & Swim Stops • 5 adults

    One of the best experiences we had on our vacation. Rafael was prompt, attentive, funny, and accommodating. Would highly recommend and will be looking him up for future trips. Clean boat, great vibes, can’t say enough positive things.
