Great Review for Captain Allen – Wakeboarding & Tubing - Yesterday we went wakeboarding and tubing with Captain Allen in Gulfport, St. Petersburg, and from the moment we booked, I knew it was going to be a fantastic experience. Captain Allen’s positive energy, great attitude, and genuine passion for what he does set the tone right away. Even though all of us had wakeboarded before, we quickly realized we’d been making it harder than it needed to be. With just a quick demonstration off the side of the boat, Captain Allen showed us how to get up on the board smoothly and effortlessly. His simple tips made all the difference—our 15-year-old, 19-year-old, and even myself, a 51-year-old all got up easily and were soon doing 180° spins, catching air, and building confidence on the water. This was especially impressive since one of I was just coming off a back injury from hockey the week before! One of my favorite moments was when my special lady—at first a little reluctant—decided to try tubing. Captain Allen took the time to make her feel completely safe, showing her the different speeds he could go so she could choose her comfort level. Before long she was laughing, holding on tight, and having an absolute blast. And yes, she gave the thumbs up for super speed! Captain Allen’s coaching and easygoing nature proved that with the right teacher, the right setting, and the right attitude, anything is possible. After wakeboarding and tubing, we all left with big smiles and great memories. His knowledge of the water, weather patterns, and safety just adds to the experience. If you’re visiting the Tampa Bay area and want an unforgettable day on the water, look no further than Captain Allen. Whether you’re looking to improve your skills or just have an amazing time, he delivers both in spades.

Family cruise, tour, snorkeling, and shelling. - Last Day Family cruise. Went to Egmont Key and saw the tortoises and forts. Went snorkeling a couple places and shelling. Great boat and great captain. Bonus dolphin played in our wake. Don’t change a thing.

Water sports with Allen - Allen was an excellent captain and teacher of water sports! We had never wake boarded before and he patiently and successfully taught everyone who wanted to learn! He made tubing fun and accessible for all comfort levels, and tailored the entire experience to be exactly what we were looking for. Hours after we left, we are still talking about how much fun we had!

Made an 80 one year old aunt’s birthday special! - Once again Captain Allen has outdone himself!! I had family in from NC, TX and Indiana. We took the 2 hour Shell Island tour. My 80 yr old aunt had a knee replacement two months ago but I knew with the ramps at the marina and Captain Allen’s Boat that it would be straight shot into the boat with one step down she would be able to enjoy the ride. We rode out to Shell island and through the “cathedral” bridge, which was the route I had requested for the picturesque view. He did not disappoint! Once we were at Ahell Island he put down the anchor then got into the water which was waste deep because he got us a close as possible in his boat. My aunt was able to drop into his arms in the water with him giving her a “hug” and she got into the water not going under or even getting her hair wet. She then walked out to the beach in her own accord. My family found some beautiful shells and TWO Sand dollars!! When it was time to leave he got back into the water again and personally helped her into the boat. My aunt was so pleased with the experience and loved Captain Allen! Thank you for making my cousins and aunt’s experience so much more memorable and special Allen’s Aquatics ! It will be something she will never forget. This is my 5th trip out with visiting friends and family because of Captain Allen. He has out done himself this time. We will never forget this trip because of you, Captain Allen!

Awesome time!! - This is not our first time doing a trip with Allen but it was an absolute BLAST. We went shelling and snorkeling. We saw some cool sea life and had a lot of laughs. Allen always makes the trips fun. We will be back again!

Amazing a must do! - We were not sure what to expect. My grandsons wanted to do water sports. Allen was simply amazing. I could not of asked for anything more!

We had a blast with Captain Allen - Captain Allen was THE best! We visited Treasure Island, Florida for the first time with our daughter and her best friend for her birthday. She wanted to go snorkeling so we looked up tours online. We are so glad we found Capt. Allen. His main focus from the time we left the dock to when we got back from our trip, was our daughter and her friend. He asked what kind of music they wanted to “jam” to on the way out to the snorkel site. They were on top of the world. Before we even left the marina and hit open water, we were already seeing dolphins fishing against the sidewalls of the inlet. He slowed down so the girls could see them coming out of the water and talked to the girls about them. When we got out to open water we began to see a pod of adults and baby dolphins. He stopped and turned around so they could again see the dolphins. He then told us that he would try and get them to “play with us” in the wake of the boat. He turned around and approached the pod. As he got close, he again turned around and accelerated away from the pod. Sure enough, dolphins started leaping from the wake of the boat. The girls and myself were so surprised. It was amazing to watch, and we hadn't even gotten to the site to snorkel yet. What a bonus! Captain Allen was super knowledgeable about the area and the snorkel site and took pictures of us all with his own camera without us even asking. He really helped make it a great day for us. It was the highlight of our trip to Treasure Island, Florida for sure.

- Captain Allen was amazing and we had a blast. The family got to learn how to wakeboard, tubing and he took us to a beautiful island with site seeing. I would definitely recommend this excursion specifically with Captain Allen.

AMAZING DAY ON THE WATER - Allen is AMAZING! If you are looking for an intimate boat adventure tailored to whatever you want to do, Allen is the captain for you. He took us snorkeling, and willingly hopped in the water with our 13-year-old twins. He showed them the nuts and bolts of it and was so patient with them. He shared some history of the area with us which was just an added bonus as it is fascinating how time changes shorelines. While snorkeling he discovered and brought to the boat, not one, but two conch shells with surprise crabs in BOTH! We furthered our adventure on a quaint beach where we went shelling and walked along the sandy shore. The twins were eager to try knee boarding and had never tried this before. Allen was patient and explained everything thoroughly -both had successful rides and they LOVED it! We ended our boating adventure with some wicked tubing-he got them both off the tube....eventually! We are grateful for Allen's weather watching and flexibility too-per his recommendation we changed the day of our boating tour due to upcoming crummy weather. To put it simply, he is the BEST! Thanks for a GREAT time! The Linde Family -Northern Minnesota

Snorkeling - Captain Allen is super laid back and an amazing Captain. I went snorkeling with my two kids. My kids and I loved it. I highly recommend him!
