Wonderful time on the water. - Our family of five had a great time. We had the chance to see dolphins, explore a beautiful beach, and snorkel on a shallow sandbar area.

Amazing family outing - This was such a fun trip was our two young kids. Captains Beth and Matt were so kind and tailored it exactly to our hopes and our kids dreams of seeing dolphins and other creatures. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend, had a great time and Captain Matt and Captain Beth provided a great experience - Captain Matt and Captain Beth were amazing. Captain Matt went out of his way to show us a good time and made sure the kids had a great time. He took us to see dolphins, shelling, and then shelling for sand dollars. Everything was very accommodating and worth the trip.

If you want the BEST boat trip - with the nicest guy, choose Island Time - absolutely spot on! - Our Skipper & guide, Matt was just the best! As a first time visitors to Anna Maria Island, Matt provided us with a absolutely fabulous private and personalised tour around this beautiful island And all at the very last minute! He couldn’t have been more accommodating as we were on the water so quickly from our initial enquiry! A better service one could not ask for! Matt even managed to find us dolphins during a particularly cold spell for these delightful creatures And such a knowledgeable guy too …showed and explained so much to us I would highly recommend Matt’s company, especially if his partner Beth (who unfortunately we didn’t get to meet on this occasion) is as proficient and as nice as Matt was! We wouldn’t hesitate to use your services again when we next visit ! Many thanks indeed, Teresa and friends 🙏

Shelling and snorkeling tour - Five stars isn’t enough for Captain Matt and Captain Beth. We’ve been on several private trips but this is by far the best we’ve ever taken! Captain Beth was very knowledgeable, fun and knows the secret spots! She put us on just the right spot and we found the biggest Lightning Whelk they have seen. Cannot recommend them enough. We will never go with anyone else.

Unforgettable Family Adventure – Fun for Kids and Adults Alike! - We had an amazing time on the boat tour! The kids absolutely loved it — they were thrilled to spot so many sea creatures along the way. Beth was fantastic! She paid such close attention to every detail and made sure both we and the kids were having a fun, comfortable experience from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour for families looking for a memorable adventure on the water!
