What an AMAZING experience! Captain Ed made our trip so pleasant! So kind and knowledgeable about the area with great taste in music - and helped to spot dolphins! Islands were beautiful and the slide was a hit with everyone in our group (especially the adults:)
Highly recommend and will definitely be booking another excursion when we come back!!

I had an incredible half-day private boating experience with Captain Ed on the Tahoe Fun Ship, starting at Clearwater Beach and cruising all the way to Honeymoon Island. Captain Ed's expertise and knowledge of the area made the trip truly unforgettable. He guided us to some amazing locations where we had the opportunity to see dolphins and manatees up close. He also set up dock safely for swimming, ensuring we had a fantastic time in the water. The sight-seeing spots he chose were perfect for taking stunning pictures. The service provided by Viator was excellent, and Captain Ed went above and beyond to make our trip enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour and give it a well-deserved 5/5 stars!

This was the best day of our vacation. I was nervous at first, I don’t like waves or boats, but Captain Frank was amazing! He was cautious and very knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to take us, and what to look for. I can’t wait to do this again next year.

Marie_C, Oct 2022
Captain Marcus was the best! He was a bottomless pit of information about the area. He knew just where to go shelling, to view manatees, watch dolphins and enjoy the mangroves. He even got the dolphins to ride in our boat wake. It was truly an awesome experience!
Response from Host, Oct 2022

It was a very memorable boat trip as our Captain, Frank was very entertaining and informative. Our day initially began with the original boat was unavailable, but Frank got us a larger and nicer boat for our tour. Unfortunately it had already began to rain before we even left the port. This continued onto our first stop. We made the best of the tolerable weather by walking around the beach of Three Rook Island until the skies opened up and the thunder rolled. Frank contacted the office and decided it was safest to head back to the port as the squal was producing a torrential downpour and concerning lightning.
Nevertheless it was memorable thanks to our captain who attracted the dolphins with the boat inviting them to swim and jump out of the water next to the boat. We even saw 2 Eagle Rays at the beach.
We hope to be back as a group the next time around and will definitely do this again in hopes for nicer weather so we can get the full tour next time around!

Personal touches like shell bags and toys for kids were so thoughtful. Captain Jordan was attentive and came with excitement. She had great spots that were just what we were looking for.
Response from Host, May 2022
Alia, it was so great meeting you and your family! So glad we were able to go out and enjoy the beautiful day on the water! I hope you are having fun with the mermaids today, we hope you will come back and see us again!

We all had any amazing time with Captain Marcus. I would recommend anyone to do this. From 4 years old to 60 years old we were all entertained. Such a great day.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
So glad to hear there was something for everyone! Thank you for recommending us!
Patricia_D, Feb 2022
This was an amazing outing. Our Captain, Frank, made sure we checked all the items on our list (seashells and dolphins). The kids said this was the best day ever, and I agree. We stopped at an island covered in shells for our collection. Whenever we spotted dolphins our Captain invited them to play so we got to see them jumping out of the water in their natural environment. The last stop allowed us to play on the boat and in the water. It was truly a great day. I wish I could give them 10 stars.
Response from Host, Feb 2022
"Best Day Ever" thats so awesome! So happy to hear that Captain Frank was able to make your trip such a memorable one! Sounds like you were able to do and see it all!

The Funship boat was the PERFECT way to celebrate my 21st birthday with my friends. The slide was fun, Captain Frank was super nice, food & alcohol were permitted on the boat, and my friends & I all had a great time! I would definitely recommend this experience to others! :)
