Excellent tour! Fun and easy going hosts! - This is our second tour with JD and Bubba! They are friendly, easy going and they aim to please. We had so much fun touring the islands and going on a tour of the beautiful homes in the area! They even made sure we saw dolphins before our tour was over! 10 out of 10 would recommend!!

Great day with a great crew - Captain JD and his deck hand were great company and very knowledgeable of the area. They were very hospitable, super relaxed and accommodating and made for a great afternoon on the water. They provided coolers, beach chairs and games and were willing to do anything we requested. Very reasonably priced and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great day in St. Pete. I'll be back!

Best day on the water with St. Pete Beach Eco Tours! - Amazing day out on the water with Capt. Jeff and Bubba! They were accommodating and friendly - we instantly felt safe traveling the waters of the Gulf. They shared some knowledge and gave us options of things to do. Our 4-hours went SO fast - we visited Fort De Soto and Shell Key, sat on the beach, collected shells, played games, fishing off the boat and snorkeled. Likely the highlight of our trip! Great guys - will definitely book again next year! Thanks Jeff and Bubba!
