This is an absolute must adventure. One of a kind experience. You will be awed by the nighttime boat ride and have a great time at each pub. Fancy and not so fancy pubs but great service and kind people

Lots of baby gators freshly hatched this time of year. And the heat lightning in the distance was quite a show. Great meeting you all!!
Dave was so much fun and knowledgeable about Winter Haven and the bars we went to. He let us pick the music and went with our vibe. It was a great time! If we are ever in the area again we will definitely do it again.

Fun night. Great meeting you guys
It was the best. Captain Dave was #Dope. Each stop had fantastic food. The last stop with the Confederate and F#ck Joe Biden flag was off putting to me so I declined to spend money there.
Response from Host, May 2026

So awesome to meet everyone. Fun night.
The pontoon pub crawl was such a fun experience! Captain Dave was knowledgeable about the area, knew where to stop and what each stopped had that was a specialty item. He also ordered the most perfect weather day! 😉
Response from Host, Mar 2026
That was a perfect day. So great to meet you. Hope to see you again.
Though the weather wasn’t ideal for a pontoon pub tour the day we went, 54 and windy, we had a great time with Captain Dave. He made us comfortable with blankets and hot drinks, and told us the history of the lakes while we traveled between pubs through the canals and lakes. He’s a very friendly and personable host and made us feel at home.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
It was a chilly ride but the hot toddies helped a bit. So glad to meet you both. Hope you have a great ride home.
Captains Dave and Scott were amazing. The information and knowledge they shared with us was very interesting. Both were friendly and accommodating. The boat was clean and well maintained. The staff at the bars were stopped at knew the business and were quite friendly, food and drinks were great.

Response from Host, Jan 2026
So glad you had a good time. Hope to see you again.
The captain was great. He informed us of the local history and the places we were visiting. He was very flexible about what we wanted to do during the tour.
This was the very best experience! Perfect chill pontoon cruising, with a great captain/host. We loved the bars we stopped at - good beer and food. Everyone knows Dave - so we got personal, special service everywhere we went! We highly recommend you book your tour with Dave!!!
Had a great evening on the water with Dave. He was great at communicating before to ensure a smooth arrival and we had a wonderful time on the boat with him and other guests. He knows the area and truly tailors the experience to what you want. We enjoyed our time and it was a great way to get out of the Disney area and experience something unique to the area.
Fantastic experience. A lovely way to learn about the history of the area while enjoying some drinks with the locals. The host is fantastic and easy to talk to. Definitely will be coming back in the future!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Such a fun night. Awesome to meet some folks so into reptiles. Especially when seeing Gators at night
Captain Dave provided a learning experience as well as a feeling of being a prof the pubs we stopped at. The cruise was customized to how the patrons were feeling I give this a two thumbs up event to experience.

Absolutely phenomenal! Captain Dave ran a great show, and our trip was better than what we asked for. We had a ton of laughs, and Capt. Dave had great recommendations at each stop. Definitely want to come back!

Really fun night out! Enjoyed the pub stops and the amazing sunset. Thanks to Captain Dave for being a great host!
Response from Host, Feb 2025
So glad you had a great time. Go Bolts!!
We met up at a bar to start, my husband and Sister-in-law didn't know what we(me and my BIL) were going to do, and Capt. Dave went right along with it. It was such a beautiful night to be on the water. The drinks and food were fun, we saw a couple of alligators, and the last bar had the best drink of the night. The people were very fun to watch too ;). I highly recommend taking this experience, and doing it with good family and friends.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Very fun night. Awesome meeting you all
It was a personally curated experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
So glad you got to see more of the Chain. Hope to see you more when you find your dream house.
Captain Dave was an exceptional tour guide. He made recommendations at each pub for food and drinks and they did not disappoint!
Ended the night singing karaoke. Capt Dave does some mean Van Halen!!
