The captains here really make the experience. Guests repeatedly praise crew members like Spencer, Wendy, Captain Jimmy, Liza, Robert, and Garrett by name for bringing fantastic energy and treating everyone like friends rather than customers. They're attentive throughout trips, helping with photos, passing out snacks and drinks, and keeping the vibe relaxed and fun. Popular destinations include Crab Island and dolphin watching, with the boats well-equipped with floats and everything you need for a great day on the water. The overwhelming majority of guests have memorable experiences, especially bachelorette parties and group celebrations. One recent review stands out as an exception where a trip was cut short and the customer felt misled about available destinations and timing, though the company did offer a partial refund. There's also a heads-up about potential parking hassles at the marina. Still, many guests return year after year and can't wait to book again, which speaks volumes about the overall quality of the operation.

What people are saying

We had a wonderful trip to Crab Island with Captain Wendy! She was very thorough in showing up all the bay had to offer. We had an amazing time. We chose the 4 pm trip so we could see the sunset. She made sure we had an excellent position to see it along with lots of wildlife in the bay. I would definitely recommend. She took pictures and sent them to us as well. She even let my daughter “drive” the boat! Definitely a trip to remember! Thanks for all the memories we made!
