Captain Memphis and Courtney, our tour guide, were very professional and patient with our group. They were very knowledgeable and offered great information about the area and marine life and birds. They also shared stories of the islands and their history, while keeping the experience entertaining and fun. Captain Memphis also recommended a fantastic local restaurant called Peck's Old Port Cove Seafood Restaurant. If your in the area you must try this place and ask for the waitress Baylee. Thank you Captain Memphis and Courtney for the exceptional tour and memorable experience we had a awesome time!!

Our captains were Dustin and Cole. They were both delightful and full of knowledge of the area. They showed us how to look for Manatee's (and we got to see some), they taught us about the ecology of the area and what is being done, and they took the time to answer all the questions. It was such a relaxing time! I would do this again with them.

Wonderful time! Great Captains! Such a beautiful evening on the boat, touring the springs and we were able to see many manatee and other wildlife. Definitely will do again, so worth it!

This river cruise is a must see!!! Not only did we learn so much about the bay, we also had a fantastic time. The picturesque sunset and time out on the bay truly made our vacation. Definitely a wonderful low key and romantic way to end the night. We caught a glimpse of manatees and enjoyed the music played on board. Captain Dustin and Captain Steve were absolutely amazing!!! They got us out and back safely and brought us to some fantastic spots. Thank you guys so much for the amazing experience. Will definitely do this again when we return next year!!!

Our first time taking the Sunset cruise with Captain Mike as our host. We had an excellent time considering we were at the tail end of the manatee migration out in April. Our cruise took us around Kings Bay in search of manatees. We were at wit's end the first hour having only seen the snout of one. During our search we did come upon numerous Osprey nests with little ones poking their heads out while the parents fished for food. Finally we came upon a herd with bulls getting frisky chasing the females to procreate. It was quite a sight even for the seasoned captains because of the number still in the warm waters. After that we took a leisurely cruise in the byways until it was sundown time. The captain steered us to an island where a stand of palm trees with the sunset pouring light through was a perfect photo opportunity. As he got the boat in position a glaring full moon was coming up in the east, so after the sunset shots, he navigated the boat in the opposite direction for the moonlight photo-ops. It was a double whammy experience for them as well as all of us on the boat. Fantastc.

Highly recommend! Captain Dustin and Captain Memphis are awesome! I went with my mother who is disabled in a wheel chair and they (Dustin and Memphis) are very helpful and kind getting her safely in and off the boat was smooth sailing! I can not say enough except go on this tour! We saw manatee, dolphin, osprey feeding her young! An experience of a lifetime! Thank for an amazing time!
