The best in Florida, hands down. - I don’t even know where to start. Donnie is awesome and he really made the trip. I’ve gotten a lot of private charters but he’s the best. He made my kids so happy. He treated them with much respect (even though they can ask some weird questions). Never once was he annoyed or angry with them. He let them be kids and let us really enjoy the perfect trip to such beautiful places. You won’t regret booking a trip with him. He’s the best out there.

This was amazing! Our... - This was amazing! Our captain Don had us off to the sandbar ahead of schedule and with all of the necessary equipment to have a magical time. We spent time paddle boarding, snorkeling, swinging from a tree just above the water and gathering shells in the crystal clear water. Would recommend this excursion for anyone!

10/10! - Don and his boat were both wonderful! We had so much fun. The boat is very clean, and he helps you have a very laid back and very fun time! He plays great music, and has a big cooler filled with ice for all your cans of beer or whatever you bring with you! He is very polite and very knowledgeable about the area! The sandbar we visited the water was crystal clear and we saw several fish we had never seen before as well as many shells. My 21 year old son and his friend went with us, and they have both said a few times since “that was a really fun boat trip we took”. Thats what makes me extra happy! :) 10/10
