    Review summary

    5.0
    Excellent
    4.1K reviews•Google Maps

    The captains here really make the experience. Guests repeatedly praise crew members like Spencer, Wendy, Captain Jimmy, Liza, Robert, and Garrett by name for bringing fantastic energy and treating everyone like friends rather than customers. They're attentive throughout trips, helping with photos, passing out snacks and drinks, and keeping the vibe relaxed and fun. Popular destinations include Crab Island and dolphin watching, with the boats well-equipped with floats and everything you need for a great day on the water. The overwhelming majority of guests have memorable experiences, especially bachelorette parties and group celebrations. One recent review stands out as an exception where a trip was cut short and the customer felt misled about available destinations and timing, though the company did offer a partial refund. There's also a heads-up about potential parking hassles at the marina. Still, many guests return year after year and can't wait to book again, which speaks volumes about the overall quality of the operation.
