    Outstanding trip with Capt. Doc and Fiest mate Paula. Cruise was amazing and very informative. Will visit again! Thank you!

    My friend had done this tour a few month prior, and had a great experience with a small group of people in small boat, so we decided to do it again over the holidays. This time it was with a large group of people in a larger boat, and honestly, it wasn't as good as the small group tour. You catch the boat at the dock at Lakeside Inn, and you pay there also. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time. When you first head out, you hear this tinny recording over the speakers, telling you about the history of the lake. At least, that's what I think it was saying - you could barely hear it, and since people around us were talking, I caught about one word in ten. Then the "tour guide" of the trip takes over. She was very friendly, however she kept forgetting what she had already told us, so we heard many of the same exact details (egret feathers, alligator sizes, i.e.) multiple times. Both the tour guide and the boat operator were excellent about stopping whenever they saw something in the wild they wanted us to see. On this trip we saw a bald eagle, a couple of hawks, a couple of alligators, and some herons and egrets. It's a relaxing way to see Lake Dora and its surrounding canals, so if you are new to town, I would recommend this.

    Great sunset / Christmas lights cruise. Tudor is a great captain. Hot apple cider and Christmas cookies hit the spot.....

    Golfers on boat

    Our Laid Back Golf League booked a round trip with Captain Tudor to take 22 golfers to play Deer Island Golf Club across the lake. Took us about 10 minutes each way by boat - saving us a 30-minute car ride each way - on a beautiful day! We let Premier Boat Tours take care of the drive while we enjoyed a great day on the golf course and a cocktail on the way back!!! 5 stars, our group highly recommends Premier!

    Such a cool tour! Boats were clean, staff were helpful and knowledgeable and very personable! Captain Doc and Aiden were a pleasure to ride with. Just enough naarative to keep it interesting but not so much that it distracts from the stillness and beauty of the canal! Highly recommend these guys!

    We came here today for a fun boat tour with my parents for the first time. This was a fun time tour to take to see the area and to go down the canal. The captain, Jonathan, and first mate, Kenneth, were fun and had good jokes and stories to tell about the area. We only saw two 4' gators today, but saw plenty of turtles (terrapins), birds, and gnomes. It would be fun to do a boat tour again when it's warmer to see if we find more gators.

    Warning : you should not use this company. I callled and…read morelet them know that I would be arriving in Florida for four days and asked would this be adequate time to complete the five hours of flight training. I was assured by The female at the desk that this would be no problem. I arrived on time each day and prepared for flight training. I received 2.9 hours of training and then I was informed they had pre-booked charters and would not be able to accommodate me the rest of those hours. I spoke with the lady at the front desk about this situation and we agreed that I would be billed only for the hours received. I received a partial refund and then within two hours the refund was taken back out of my account and I received a text message from the company that stated the owner didn't feel comfortable giving me a partial refund. This company was fully aware of my situation and did not honor their word. This company took my money under false pretenses, and payment was made for services NOT RENDERED!!!! I immediately called my credit card company and explain the situation and started a dispute. Anyone looking to get there sea plane ratings I would advise from my experience do not use this company. They are not a reputable company and they lack honesty and integrity. Next day I went to Jack Brown's seaplane base in winter haven Florida I was amazed and I found the staff was amazing and most of all had integrity. After two hours of flight time the Cfi was ready to sign me off, but we could not get a DPE that day and I was flying out the next morning. I found Jack Brown's Sea Plane base to be everything that you could ever ask for in a company for Sea Plane operation. I will be going back to Jack Brown's to fly again in the future highly recommend Jack Brown.
