Captains Lane, Jeremy, and the rest of the crew here have built a strong reputation for making people feel genuinely looked after on the water. Tours range from dolphin and sandbar excursions to a pub crawl that somehow manages to be fun even in a rainstorm. Guests consistently mention knowledgeable guides who share local history, take photos, and never rush the experience. Wildlife sightings, including manatees, sharks, stingrays, and dolphins, come up again and again, suggesting the captains know exactly where to go. Repeat bookings tell their own story, with several families already planning a third or fourth trip. The booking process gets praised as smooth and accommodating, and the relaxed, unhurried pace on the water seems to resonate with most travelers. A few one-off complaints exist in the reviews, but they read as isolated and don't reflect the overwhelming pattern here. For a day on the water around Anna Maria Island, this crew is hard to beat.
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Crysten’s AMI Boat Tours! Our captain, Lane, was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and made the entire trip so much fun! He truly went above and beyond to make our day on the water unforgettable. We even got to find sand dollars and starfish, which made the experience even more special! It was such a fun adventure and definitely a highlight of our trip. If you’re looking for an amazing day on the water, BOOK THIS TOUR! You won’t regret it. We will absolutely be back!
