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.

Customized to Your Vibe . We wanted a laid back ,listen to some tunes, be on the Water .. Laugh , have some cocktails and Enjoy the Sunshine Day and Captain Dave delivered…
if you want history, or wildlife or birthday stuff he seemed open.. the 1st rule of fight club is you can’t tell ( wink) We wanted oysters , Whisky and memories … and he delivered.

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.

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.
Autumn_S, Oct 2025
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!

Such a fun night. Awesome to meet some folks so into reptiles. Especially when seeing Gators at night

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
Maurine_A, Jan 2025

It was a perfect afternoon and Capt. Dave made it even better. We can’t wait to do it again and meet real nice people
mary_m, Apr 2024
This is a must if you can. Everything was exactly as described. Captain Dave is so laid back, and informative. The pub stops were well selected. They were all friendly, and the gator bites delicious!! We definitely recommend this experience.
Sandy_S, Mar 2024
We drove down from Orlando to Winter Haven. It was nice to get away from the sprawl of Orlando. On our travels, we visited multiple places on the water. We sampled gator bites, oysters on the half-shell, crab cakes, and boiled peanuts. It was a fun change of pace and gave us a local experience that you don't get in Orlando. We would love to return and explore the area further.
