FAMILY FRIENDLY CHARTERS!!!!!! Our charter with Tide and True was the most amazing time. We have held off booking charters in the past in fear our youngest (on the spectrum) wouldn't be welcomed on the boats. After doing some research and seeing heartfelt reviews we decided to book with Captain Tammy. The family time and memories made will last a lifetime. Captain Tammy is one of the BEST!! She's the only Captain I will ever book with moving forward. Not only is she the most genuine captain I have ever met, she was incredibly accommodating with our Neurodivergent kiddo. She went above and beyond including him in everything but also made sure he remained comfortable and had a blast on our charter. We snorkeled around a grassy area, we found some awesome shells, saw beautiful fish and we even had two manatees come in to see what we were looking at (a mom and a baby!!). She took us to a lovely beach area where there were pelicans, anhingas, stunning driftwood and gorgeous water! We floated all over, used her underwater scooter to snorkel, saw tons of fish in their natural environments. We learned about the Florida wildlife we saw and had 3 more manatees pass through where we swam. On the way back we saw dolphins and enjoyed our time on and off her boat. I have never met a more family friendly charter Captain, her goal was for our family to make lasting memories and we did just that. She gave us the most incredible family time together and I am forever grateful for that. I can't wait to book with her again! She knows where the shells, wildlife and great family friendly locations are. I can't recommend her enough, she was amazing with our kids. My youngest son gravitated to her immediately, he was the first one in the water ready to explore with her (which was a shock!). She makes the trips more memorable than I thought was possible. If you're looking to experience the beauty of SW Florida environment, awesome shells and stunning wildlife look no farther!! We are still blown away with how amazing our experience was. Hurry up and Book!!!
