From beginning to end, this was a stellar experience. Brandon did a phenomenal job with the booking answering any questions we had and made the launch and ease. Was super helpful and explaining the features and additions of his boat and provided a phenomenal Fourth of July. Highly recommend Brandon and his vessel. Super clean, well-maintained and a great economical Fuel wise boat. Had a fantastic day.

Captain Doug was awesome! He was very professional, very personable. We had a great time boating, fishing, and seeing lots of nature - dolphins, osprey, and more. He was safe and very knowledgeable. The boat was fantastic - comfortable large, stable, went fast when we wanted to, handled waves well. We would definitely go out on another trip again!

We can’t say enough good things about Captain Doug and his boat! We booked 4 hours - which made for a perfect day on the water! We explored the waters and islands! Then stopped for a yummy waterfront lunch at a local restaurant. Yum! Captain Doug was so knowledgeable about the area’s history and made it so fun for our little one as well! It really felt like such a private special experience for my family and in-laws! We will be booking every year when we come back for family vacation!

We had the best time with captain Doug, he went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and he called us the day before to answer any questions we had & gave us great parking directions. Not to mention he found our missing phone in the ocean and we got to see soooo many dolphins. We will definitely be contacting him next time we’re in town!
