Captain Zach seems to be the star of the show here, earning consistent praise for his knowledge, patience, and ability to make families feel like they've gained a new friend by the end of their trip. Multiple reviewers mention how great he was with kids during fishing excursions, teaching basics and finding the best spots. Captains Brad, Lane, John, and Angel also get shoutouts for their expertise and friendly service. The boats come well-equipped with fun extras like underwater scooters, paddle boards, and water floats, making these tours flexible enough to accommodate whatever you're after, whether that's sandbar hopping, wildlife spotting, or fishing. The crew clearly knows where to find dolphins and manatees, and they're willing to adjust the itinerary to match what you want to see. A couple of reviews mention booking confusion and communication hiccups, with one customer experiencing a scheduling mix-up and another having trouble receiving photos afterward. Florida weather can cut tours short, which is understandable but worth keeping in mind when planning. Overall though, families with kids of all ages rave about these tours as vacation highlights, and the captains' personalized attention makes the difference.
We had a wonderful time on the water with AMI Escapes. Zach was our captain and made the experience relaxing and laid back! We were able to see dolphins, see a manatee, go fishing, check out a beautiful island with amazingly clear blue water and find sand dollars! Thanks for a wonderful experience!!!
