Great adventure. - Captain Ron was an excellent host. It was a great experience. We had a leisurely boat ride to Shell Island and then got to play in the water. Took our chances with the paddleboard. The water was beautiful.

Review from a 10-Year-Old - Captain Dalton was great—he was nice and very knowledgeable about the different types of shells and sea creatures we saw. He helped us find a horseshoe crab and many hermit crabs. We even saw dolphins! We swam and snorkeled at St. Andrew’s State Park beach. The inflatable paddle board was fun to play on. The tiki boat had a very beachy aesthetic and had extra snorkel gear. Our Captain took pictures of our group and made the whole experience very fun. We would definitely go again!

We had an unforgettable... - We had an unforgettable experience on the tiki bar boat with Captain Robert! From start to finish, he did an amazing job making sure everyone was comfortable, having fun, and truly enjoying the vibe. His energy was great, and he knew exactly how to set the tone for a perfect day on the water. What really stood out was how he captured so many memorable moments for us. He didn’t just drive the boat—he made the whole experience feel special and personal. Every laugh, every toast, every scenic view was documented in a way we’ll be able to look back on and cherish. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable time, I highly recommend booking with Captain Robert. You won’t be disappointed! 🌊🍹

Captain & Comedian - Lyric was an awesome! As a self proclaimed comedian he kept the jokes coming. He anchored us on a secluded pristine beach where we were able to swim & snorkel. He even flagged down an ice cream boat for us!!!
