Good Private charter

Melissa_D, Sep 2024

Private boat tour for a girl’s trip. We saw dolphins right away. Nice stop at a beach to cool down and get some shells. Max was a great host.

Captin Bobby was great

Mackenzie_T, Aug 2024

This was my first experience using Viator and it exceeded my expectations. Captin Bobby was absolutely amazing. He was funny, down to earth, and knowledgeable. He made my bachelorette celebration one to remember. It was the favorite part of our weekend. I'll definitely be using him again in the future.

Amazing experience, highly recommend!

Liz_S, Jul 2024

Captain Bobby was amazing. He was experienced with the area being a local and taught us so much! We were able to see dolphins and manatees while out. The sandbar was definitely a favorite for all of us. We will be back to do another trip!

Awesome tour!

Jason_A, Jul 2024

The tour was great. The captain took us to different sandbars, snorkeling spots and a restaurant around siesta key and lido beach. It was a fun experience for the kids and something they will not forget! Jason from PA

Loved it.

Angela_H, Jul 2024

A fun break from sitting on the beach. Captain Bobby took great care of us. We will def do it again on our next visit.

Awesome time!

CathySubber, Jun 2024

One mom and 5 “kids” that were 20-22 loved every minute of our experience! Captain Bobby was great, we found lots of cool shells on the island, grabbed some delicious burgers at a place on the water and enjoyed the day on the water! We were appreciative of all of the great shade on the boat as well. Thanks for a great time!

Great experience

Highly recommended!

David_W, May 2024

Cory was a great guide - so friendly and knowledgeable! We had a blast! I highly recommend this and will book again on our next trip!

Perfection…amazing day on the water

Jacqueline_F, Apr 2024

This was by far the best experience I have ever had on the water. Captain Cory was super knowledgeable about the area and made sure he catered the trip to our needs. He made sure we saw all the highlights of the area and we got to dock and enjoy the Beautiful crystal blue waters and sand bars in the area. I loved that he incorporated trying to find the dolphins and getting them active during the boat ride. I have been to siesta key for 8 years prior and the trip with Captain Cory brought a whole new dimension of excitement and admiration to the area.

Captain Cory gives a hell of trip!

Anne_M, Apr 2024

The boat was comfortable and our guide Cory was fabulous. He gave us history and funny stories. We chose to stop at O’leary’s for a drink and continued on our journey! I highly recommend this outing!

Amazing Time in Beautiful Sarasota!

Matthew_H, Apr 2024

We had a fantastic time. Corey is great! Our family had another boat and captain cancel on us last minute, and he took us out with very short notice. I would highly recommend this experience.

Beautiful Cruise On A Beautiful Day

Stacy_J, Apr 2024

Very friendly and knowledgeable captain. Very relaxing trip. We saw dolphins and manatees during our cruise. Finding the boat is a little difficult but the operator of the cruise sent map before the morning of the trip. Highly recommend!

Charles_S, Mar 2024

Captain Cory was great, showed us a lot of different wildlife and scenery and had the knowledge to go with it

Very fun! Must do!

Renee_B, Mar 2024

Cory was very knowledgeable about the area, friendly and fun! He catered our charter around our requests. We’d highly recommend him and are going out on an excursion with him again next week!!

Lovely half day trip on the boat

Eric_P, Feb 2024

Honestly, Captain Cory did not disappoint at all! He was very accommodating with our schedule arriving a bit early. We told him what we kind of wanted out of our experience and he knew where to take us. It was also great to learn about all the wonderful sea life. It’s well worth the money for a private experience out on the boat with family and loved ones checking out sandbars and more. We got lucky with the perfect weather out on the gulf but I trust he would’ve known where to take us if weather didn’t permit.

Thanks for joining us!

Chill Day

Nealey_W, Nov 2023

Cory was great host and captain. Took us to cool spots and we enjoyed our trip very much. Highly recommend!!

Relaxing Day at Sea💙

Anne_M, Jul 2023

The dolphin sighting was definitely a highlight of our trip! We enjoyed relaxing at the sand bar and having drinks at the tiki bar. Captain Bobby was the best! He gave us several recommendations of places to eat in the area that had yummy fresh seafood as well as other delicious appetizers and entrees, perfect for celebrating our ten year wedding anniversary and my 50th birthday. He also had great stories about the history of the area. I would 100% recommend this charter for a most relaxing day on a vacay to Siesta Key!

Highly Recommend this Experience!

Ireland_C, Jun 2023

Captain Bobby was amazing! We had so much fun seeing Sarasota from a new perspective and hearing his stories.

Cara_L, May 2022

Thank you for such a perfect day on the water!! Captain Bobby was wonderful! We saw so much wildlife, enjoyed a dip in the water on a sandbar, had lunch at a little tiki hideaway, and enjoyed hearing about the area from a local! A perfect day spent with friends. The boat was in tip top shape and very comfortable for 6 ladies. There was shade and also a "bar" area to enjoy the hours on the water. Thank you again Captain Bobby!! We will definitely be back next year :-)
