Captain Randy was an excellent guide. Dolphin watching, shelling, swimming and sunbathing on a sandbar. Best way to see Florida.

Wow! Thank you so much for the great review, Kevin! It was an absolute pleasure showing you everything beautiful Clearwater, Florida has to offer. I hope you will join us again soon!

Amazing!!

Amanda_O, Jun 2022
Absolutely incredible experience! Our guide was great. He took us to very nice beaches, gave us bags for seashells (which I didn’t even think about), showed us celebrity houses, and was just a very nice laid back guy. He even got the dolphins to play so we could watch them swim and jump behind the boat! It was an all around good time for my family of 6 and we will definitely do it again!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Wow so cool the dolphins were jumping for you! What a fun day, thank you for sharing! We look forward to seeing you next time!

Captain Randy was amazing,we saw dolphins and even a special white dolphin. We went to a gorgeous island that you can only go by boat. The water was so clear and warm like bathwater. We collected sea shells that were huge and relaxed in the water in floats. Captain Randy provided us with floats and also music it was a party on the water hes the best definitely will come again.

Wonderful scenery, informative discussions about wildlife and the surrounding islands, amazing guide, Marcus, knew almost all answers to our questions and what he didn’t know, he researched real time! All together, one of the highlights of our Christmas trip!!!

Awesome boat day

We had a fabulous boat day with Captain Marcos. We saw so many dolphins! They were so close to the boat! He took us to a island where we found lots of unique, beautiful shells and sand dollars. Thanks for such a great day!!

Adam was a great captain! We are new to the area so he introduced us to the Clearwater beaches, Anclote Island, honeymoon island and more! Fun afternoon. Thank you!

EXCELLENT shelling and GREAT views

Joyce_T, Jun 2020
Captain Randy was excellent. He asked our party what interested us most and was happy to comply. I was videoing virtual summer lessons for my district and he even volunteered to speak on the video to my kids. Very knowledgeable and helpful! I will definitely book with Captain Randy again.
