Captin aaron, is a very friendly and knowledgeable guy. Amazing at what he does. Made us feel welcomed and very comfortable. This was by far the best boating experience we ever had. We were given the option to extend our trip and wow did it get even better. This is a must do for everyone!

We booked a 2-hour trip and decided ahead of time to extend it to 3, and I’m so glad we did. Captain Aaron was relaxed, knowledgeable, and great with both the adults and the kids. He kept things moving at just the right pace so it never felt rushed or dragged.
The boat was clean and comfortable, and the whole experience felt easy from start to finish. Three hours ended up being the sweet spot. If you’re on the fence, go longer. It’s worth it.

What an amazing day with Captain Aaron!. We had dolphins swimming in the wake of our boat and saw manatees up close.
We anchored on a sandbar so the kids could go out and look for shells and play on the beach. We all had so much fun.

The captain and first mate were excellent. They knew all about the bay, we're very informative, safe, on time. Thoroughly enjoyed. Worked to find us local birds and dolphins. Highly recommend them. Ty Aaron.

He was so patient and kind with our kiddos! He also had so much information to share with us, and as a homeschooling family, it was the perfect "field trip" for our vacation! He was someone who truly cared about the experience you got, and I would for sure spend the money and time to do it again!

We had such an amazing time with Aaron!
We saw sooooo many dolphins, including a baby and one manatee!
Aaron knew how to make the dolphins follow the wake of the boat and do jumps. We took the 4 pm boat ride.

Vincent_L, Apr 2024
Captain Aaron was a great guy. Very knowledgeable with a wonderful stories about the local area and its history. The highlight was an incredible sightseeing and interaction with two dolphins. We spent several minutes watching and interacting with the dolphins including seeing them capture and eat a fish very close to the boat. Great time for 5 of us including a 8 year and 15 year old. 5 out of 5 stars. 😎
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Vincent! Thank you for this awesome review, I'm glad all 5 of y'all had a great time! Kids at that age are hard to impress, so I consider this high praise! :D I'm glad you got to see the jumping dolphins and observe them in a natural setting. Come back again!

My sister, brother and I really enjoyed our boat charter today with Aaron. He was very knowledgeable about the waterways, wildlife and landmarks. We saw dolphins, manatees, ospreys and eagles. Touring with a local gave us a whole different perspective of this area. Aaron was a perfect host and captain. We will definitely look him up on our next visit to Sarasota. Thanks so much Aaron for a great afternoon!! It was one of the highlights of our trip!
