    Great time with Captain Fred Gowdy today. Our group of 3 were catching fish as soon as we left the dock. And Captain Fred knew his stuff, very knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely consider him for our next charter.

    Booking My High Tide was 100% the right call during my trip to Florida. My wife and I along with…read moresome other couples decided to go on a trip to Fort Myers and wanted book a charter for a fun afternoon on the water. I could not be happier about my experience with My High Tide! First off booking the Yacht was incredibly easy. I was able to quickly book online which was easy to do. I did have a few questions and called them directly and they answered right away and were very helpful. They had a few great options to choose from but with the size of our group we decided to go with the Azimut 72. IT IS GORGEOUS! The observation deck up top gives you amazing views of the water. The stern has so much room to relax and is incredibly luxurious. My wife loved the front of the vessel where she could get some sun and just relax. This yacht seemed brand new and was awesome. What made the experience over the top was the staff on board. Captain Joe was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. No doubt in my mind that he knew exactly what he was doing the whole time. We also had Wayne on the boat who was the First Mate. He was great and always willing to answer all the questions we had. You could tell that both of these gentleman loved what they did and took care of all the guests. These two made the experience unforgettable! Everyone is already wondering when we are going to go back to Florida and a lot of that is because of the 5 Star experience we had with My Tide Luxury Charters!

    I was in town visiting with some family and we have always wanted to take a charter out, so we…read morefinally made it happen. it was a little windy but we decided to go for it and no regrets with My High Tide. We went for a half day ride on the Sea Ray 280. The boat was clean and comfortably sat 10 of us. Captain Wayne was great, I was a little nervous it'd be too choppy but he assured me with his seasoned spirit. This will be a day to remember!!! I think we may try to make a tradition out of this.

    captain Jaime was so knowledgeable and took us to prime shelling locations! We also got to have a…read moredolphin show as well! highly recommend!

    I chose this particular boat tour due to the rave reviews…read more First of all there was no stand or building where they are located, so we walked around the parking lot and shopping center until we could get in touch with the driver. Turns out you just have to look for their truck in the parking lot. That wasn't made clear at the time of booking. It was a fine boat ride, but felt more like a water taxi than a tour. We saw dolphins on the way to go shelling which was neat... but so did every other boat in the vicinity. We only had about 1.5 hours to go shelling which wasn't nearly enough time. Keewaydin Island was beautiful but we didn't have time to enjoy it. After our boat taxi ride was over we tipped the driver $30. Mind you this ride didn't include food, drinks (other than water) or snacks. A day later we got an automated email asking us for a tip (if we hadn't already). Mind you we did NOT take a private tour- it was two groups of 3 people. The email said: "If you have not tipped * Boat captains often rely on tips as a significant part of their income, particularly in the tourism industry where tipping is customary. A 20% gratuity or Minimum of $100 per Captain on Private tours is customary for this type of tour. If the captain was amazing feel free to tip more." Excuse me? We paid $370 for 2 adults and 1 child for a less than 3 hour excursion to Keewaydin Island. They were expecting an additional $50-$75 in tips? This was by far the most expensive boat "tour" we've been on, and we've done many- Italy, Mexico, Zimbabwe, Hawaii, California, Maine, and three others in Florida. I wrote the company an email bc they send out 2-3 emails afterwards asking you to leave a review... and if it's not 5 stars to email them directly. They never responded. Two sets of my in-laws were wanting to go on a tour in the coming weeks and we told them both not to waste their money on Sand Dollar Shelling. So now I'm telling you too.
