We did the half day tour with Captain Aaron on One Love and it was phenomenal from start to finish. His boat is gorgeous which is also a nice bonus. He took us all the way to Sarasota and showed us a bunch of the sites and then took us to a little cove where we swam and paddle boarded for a bit. We got to see a bunch of dolphins and he even got some to play in the wake of his boat which was gorgeous. All in all, I would recommend this to anyone who is going to be in the area and will deff be returning next time we visit my parents. My dad didn't stop talking about what a nice day it was for the rest of the weekend so it would also make a great and unique gift!

I was able to show up early and decorate the boat and set up food, Coree and Michael were so helpful with everything including even helping us set up our food drinks and decorations.

Coree was our first mate and she was amazing, helpful, and so fun! I highly recommend this crew if you rent from Kokomo! 10/10 experience and I'll be back for more 100%.

The views and vistas from this location were expertly explained to us and we enjoyed snake island, a few of the surrounding bays, and gorgeous views of sting rays, cranes, and BEST of all: dolphins! I had two swim up directly next to my kayak which was one of the most incredible things that has ever happened to me. I can't say enough about our experience and I highly recommend adding some boat time to your FL itinerary.

Prior to departure the tour guide assured me and my 18-year-old daughter that we would be back before dark as it was illegal to ride wave runners after dark. We selected the Sunset Tour option with this understanding as it was the first time I had ever rode a wave runner and neither myself or my daughter have ever rode one in the gulf which is quite different from a lake experience where we live. The tour guide was very nice and explained how to operate the wave runner to me and did a great job accommodating my daughter and myself during the tour. However, on the way back we were in complete darkness and could not even see the signs to tell us the information needed for no wake zones etc... The tour guide had to pull out his phone to see what the signs would say and I felt we were in a very dangerous situation. We did not get back to the dock until 9:20 pm - this was over an hour later than scheduled. It was a very scary experience and I had asked the tour guide how many sunset tours he had done and he said that this was his first one. I believe he was around 19-20 years old which was not an issue except for I would question what type of training he has had on time management as this experience could have resulted in an incident due to the risks of driving these wave runners in complete darkness.

I am an extremely responsible person. If that incident had happened, I would have reported it myself and would have gladly paid for the damage, but I told them to check the camera to see who was the person who was there before, because according to the hotel it looks like red hair dye and I have the black hair also to check if there was previous supervision. When we arrived we had to wait more than an hour because the room was not ready (we arrived early) and we moved from the place; I was in the parking lot all the time, I went to the hotel several times to ask and I didn't see anyone going to check, I didn't know which room was but sitting in the park waiting and finally seeing which one I would have realized, like you they can assert that your staff is right? just because they say so. I really have no idea where the stain is, My great displeasure is paying for something that we were not responsible for. They made a call which appears as lost because I am not used to taking a number that I do not know but they were able to send a photo or an email or insist, although in any case I do not think there is a way to prove innocence in this case. In fact, we did not spend much time in the room and for me it will continue to be a scam because we are not responsible for any damage and it is better to blame a guest. that to the staff that works in it and for the hotel Note: I also suppose that they saw that we canceled the next visit and they made assumptions, but the cancellation was because my husband works oncall and they told him that he would be on call because, frankly, we liked the hotel and its location, in fact we recommended it to a couple who spent the 4 of July

It was fun to try it and it's definitely a nice change from the park on a hot day. My son loved some of the crazy slides. There is a lazy river and lots of Lego water stations the kids can play with. That being said, there are a few downsides: the location is not ideal. It's all the way at the end of the park so you have to walk through Legoland and back when you go. What makes this even more tedious is that there are no towels provided so you have to get all that stuff yourself through the park. The chairs were a bit run down. Only one food booth with limited options and they weren't accommodating at all when I accidentally ordered the wrong fountain drink. I doubt I will come back. The hotel pool is more fun.

Captain Memo's is on a much bigger ship, and though my kids had fun on it, I would call it "manic fun". There were an insane amount of people on board and all the kids were running and screaming everywhere (my daughter ended up getting elbowed in the eye), and we felt like we were dying of heat stroke because the ship has very poor ventilation and not enough shady seats. For the Pirate Cruise of Cortez, we absolutely LOVED it!! It was 1000% worth the hour drive from Clearwater. It's a decent sized boat with just the right number of people on board and shady seats with great breezes to keep us cool. It was extremely engaging and they had a very fun itinerary. My kids were wildly entertained and they did a great job keeping the kids' attention and keeping things under control. The staff put on an awesome show full of magic and wonder and did a fantastic job engaging with the kids.
