Captain Michael is incredible! We've done two trips with him now and both were amazing. We love doing the eco net drag and seeing what we can learn about, sand dollar hunting is always so relaxing and love hearing about all the SPI history. I highly recommend tritoon charters over any other boat tour especially if you have kids.

Captain Rasco grew up in this area and is extremely knowledgeable about all things South Padre Island. This is no cookie cutter excursion like most you'll find here. This is a trip completely customized and personalized for your group - everything from dolphin watching to tubing. You tell him what you want and he will make it happen! We've been coming to thr island 20+ years and we won't go out with anyone else. Try him, you won't be disappointed.

I was unsure if it would be worth the money because it was a lot more than the big boat dolphin tours we have done before. It was also a lot better than a bigger boat tour! You definitely get what you pay for. We have three small kids and it was a fun way to get out on the water and see dolphins, sand dollars, a baby stingray, and learn more about the area. 100% recommend.

Love, love, loved our experience. Michael was so knowledgeable and patient on our tour. We had a group of 5, including a 9 year old and he was awesome with us all. We found sand dollars and learned about local marine life. If your looking for a personal tour guide that knows his stuff then Michael Rasco is exactly who you're looking for.

Saw dolphins a few feet away, seashells and turtles. Captain Michael helped us in creating an amazing day that our 8 and 5 year old girls loved and will cherish. His knowledge of the area and ease of sharing knowledge is fascinating. I second that I wish I could give this business 6 stars.

Captain Rasco.

We had a great time with Captain Rasco. He is a jolly guide that everyone enjoyed on the boat. He shared a lot about the history of the island and Nearby Elon Musk launch site. Snorkeling and tubing was a nice time and looking for shells was awesome.

Our experience with Breakaway Cruises was terrible and completely unprofessional…read more We arrived at 2:00 PM to schedule and pay for a 4:00 PM jet ski reservation for three jet skis for our group of six. We spent about 20 minutes completing paperwork and talking with Coral, who told us to be back by 3:45 PM. We left to change and returned at 3:35 PM, ready for our ride. Instead, Coral told us the 3:00 PM group had "just arrived late" and we'd now have to wait until 5:00 PM. That's completely unacceptable. Even if her story was true and they really were the 3:00 PM group, they were late. Breakaway Cruises should have canceled or delayed them--not us, who showed up on time and followed every instruction. On top of that, I overheard Coral speaking with the other group, and it didn't sound like they were late at all. It felt more like Breakaway Cruises was overbooking to make extra money and shifting people around to cover it up. I even heard Coral asking another group whether they had evening plans--more evidence of double-booking (her knowing they would make them wait past their scheduled time). We asked Coral to let us go as scheduled or cancel the other party. She claimed to agree with us but did nothing. She refused to let us speak with a manager. Instead, she offered us "inventory" jet skis that had been sitting in storage. Why should we get older, potentially less safe equipment when we did everything right? The other group should have been inconvenienced, not us (that is if they were really "late"). We ultimately left without riding because we didn't feel safe using equipment that might not have been recently serviced. Breakaway Cruises clearly doesn't care about customers' time, safety, or money. They're unethical, careless, and willing to lie or overbook to boost profits. I would absolutely not recommend them.

Customer service here was honestly terrible. The lady working the front kept jumping between…read morecustomers without actually finishing with anyone. It was super disorganized and frustrating. She gave me a form to fill out but it had someone else's full information on it, including their ID. That's a huge privacy issue. I asked when I first got there what the requirements were for riding a jet ski and she told me there were no hidden fees. After waiting around 40 minutes and filling out everything, she suddenly tells us we need a boating permit that costs another 10 to 15 dollars. That should have been mentioned from the start. Overall a really unprofessional experience. I wouldn't come back or recommend this place to anyone.
