    We just completed our tour and Captain CJ is amazing! We retirees, vacationers from Nj just loved all the ecological and scientific information gleaned! Every bird, alligator, manatee and dolphin sightings were in great form, ready for our exploration! The calm waters and relaxed atmosphere created by nature and Captain CJ made this the most memorable part of our trip to central Fla!
