The crew here consistently delivers memorable water adventures, and it really shows in how guests rave about their guides by name. Brandon, Greg, Ashley, and Tanner get frequent shoutouts for being friendly, professional, and genuinely fun to be around. People appreciate how the staff makes everyone feel comfortable, explaining everything clearly while keeping the energy high throughout activities like parasailing and jet ski rentals. Pontoon rentals seem particularly popular, with guests loving the flexibility to explore at their own pace. One family appreciated getting a walk-up rental without a reservation, then coming back the next day for more (and scoring a returning customer discount). The crew goes the extra mile with helpful touches like providing coolers with ice and assisting guests onto boats. Whether you're heading to Crab Island or exploring quieter areas of the bay, the team's attentiveness and welcoming attitude make the experience smooth from start to finish.

What people are saying

Jet ski with dolphins!!! We had an amazing time trying to find dolphins, cruising alongside a pod of them, and then having some high speed fun near crab island on the jet skis. The guide was awesome and we all had an absolute blast! I highly recommend this activity.
