    Amazing!!!

    Rebecca_L, Apr 2026
    Oh this was an amazing day; and the friends that came with me said that they were "officially blown away" with how great it was. We started by seeing all kinds of birds at a rookery with great photos of roseate spoonbills; then saw numerous dolphins up close and playing for about 30 minutes; then went to to beach and went down their fun slide, and finished up by seeing a mother and baby manatee! Loved everything!!!

    Highly dissatisfied!

    Booked though Viator and owner said he doesn’t work with them ! So we were at the dock ready for pick up when we thought we were going out for a fun Expensive experience we were told he knew nothing about it , as we booked 4 days ago , makes no sense that it is advertised that you have to book with this company but the owner didn’t know he had a trip planned ! Highly dissatisfied and will NOT recommend, sad that you ruin our day that we had planned for .

    We are definitely not the company for you. We explained everything with the upmost respect and professionalism. We offered you many options to try to right a wrong that was not our fault. I wish you happiness. The headline of your review is a testimony of your life. Good day

    Really nice day out with Captain Joe and Cosmo. Big boat with a ton of toys for kids. Joe was very nice and had a lot of good information about the Sarasota area, would go out again if we are back in the area.
