6/5 stars - 5 stars wouldn’t be enough to describe how awesome this trip was! Capt Bobby is awesome! We booked as a private excursions just my husband and I on Valentine’s Day and it was incredible! Capt Bobby was kind and talkative, but not so talkative that we didn’t enjoy alone time. He answered our questions and totally accomplished everything we suggested we might like to do and then some! He even got dolphins to jump the wake of the boat right behind us! You can tell he loves what he does and just wants others to experience it too! Everyone needs to book this trip! Seriously. Stop reading reviews and just book with Bobby!

Great family excursion - Great time with Captain Bobbie. He was very accommodating to our interests., We searched for Manatees, saw a few dolphins, went shelling on an island and spent time boating on the water with great views of the shoreline .

Great day on the water ! - Private boat tour customized to our wishes - Capt. Bobby was great ! We wanted some island beach and shelling time, some birding opportunities and maybe see some dolphins. We did all that and more in our 3 hour tour.

10 out of 10 - My daughter and I had the best time. It was exactly what we were wanting. Our captain made sure we were compfortable and catered the day around things we wanted. We saw very close ups of dolphins and manatee, even saw a couple sting rays jump out of the water. My daughter is obsessed with sharks and we even saw a baby shark !! Our captain was super cool and layed bk, which is what we were lookin for! Definitely worth the price for sure!! We will see yall again on our next trip!!

Go see dolphins with cpt bobby! - Capt bobby"s tour was absoluely fabulous. He took us out on his boot for a tour to watch dolphins and so we did. We also saw a stingray and we went to an island for a swim. It was a verry pleasurable morning and cpt bobby went out of his way to make the dolphins jump the waves of his boat. Unfortunately no manatees, and the fish wouldn't bite, but that could not taken away the pleasure. I can recommend it to everybody!
