The captain was great at avoiding the choppy waves from all the crazy boaters out there, and he got us on the dolphins, and we saw manatees!

We made reservations from Texas and signed up for a 3 hour cruise. The time past quickly and we enjoyed every minute of it.

There is a station next to it with clean water for hand washing.

We had two kids under the age of 5 on board and Captain Keith was mindful of that the whole way. Not only did he navigate the chop safely, it was obvious he didn't want the kids to be scared or soaked. He kept everyone relatively dry the whole way. In addition to providing a great ride, Captain Keith shared some great fishing information as we were planning to fish from Cayo Costa. His information was very useful and he even gave us the 'shrimp' off his back. That's right, we couldn't find any live shrimp that morning to bring out so Keith gave us what he had in his live well which proved to be the necessary bait to catch fish that afternoon. We'll always book with Captain Keith going forward.
