The experience was so much fun! Captain Dan was very communicative throughout the whole process and kept us updated on the plan due to constantly changing weather. We were able to go out and it was a beautiful night! The whole group had a great night. We would highly recommend this tour and look forward to hanging out with Captain Dan again next time we are back in Florida!

We had a fantastic afternoon with Captain Dan. If you want a fun, informative and scenic boat trip this is the one for you. Captain Dan will ask what you are interested in seeing and doing to make your trip the best ever. The boat is beautiful and comfortable. We loved it. You must book with Captain Dan!!

Captain Dan was an amazing host! My family and I truly enjoyed our time in the water exploring St. Augustine and the surrounding beaches. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something outside of the typical large group tour boat.

Thanks to Captain Dan for a great day on the water in Saint Augustine. It was my sisters 70th birthday and she loves boats so we took her out, along with my other four sisters. Dan was very knowledgable about the area and we got to see several dolphins as well. I highly recommend his boat tour. His boat was amazing.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Barbar, Thank you for the very nice review. Your sisters were a lot of fun! and I had a great time. I hope to see everyone again!

We had a wonderful time. Captain Dan was so accommodating. Very helpful to my mother getting in and out. We floated off the island with tubes he blew up for us. Water and snacks. A good guide of area. Their was 7 of us total, and the boat was big enough for all of us. We would do this again.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
My goal is to ensure all of my passengers have an amazing time. I am glad you enjoyed your trip and welcome you to tour with us again.

We booked our trip with Captain Dan (Adventure in Paradise) a few days in advance. He was flexible in scheduling the time. Our family (4) had a terrific time on the water, and he was a wonderful host. We’ll definitely book a tour with him next time we’re in St. Augustine. Highly recommend!

Captain Dan was incredible: knowledgeable, safety conscious, and flexible as we worked to keep my just-turned-three-year-old happy and entertained (which was a success). Will definitely be using him again.
