He was knowledgeable and even made accommodations based on a kid’s request! We saw countless dolphins and a manatee and the kids were excited and engaged for the entire trip!Posted on Ashten RichardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience wanted to do a last min boat ride,captain Aiden Hayes answered right away and was able to fit my family of six + a toddler in ( I brought my own life vest for my toddler). Did the two hour dolphin boat ride, right away we saw dolphins and cap got really close (respectful distance) to them and we got to observe them using the sea wall to trap fish. Cap was really knowledgeable on the area as well as the geological changes due to Milton. 10/10 highly recommend will be coming back years to come.Posted on Emily AhleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My husband and parents called same day to schedule sunset tour and although the Capt already had a private tour that evening, he called me back to tell me he another Capt friend would be glad to give us a sunset tour. We were just so pleasantly surprised and this was the best 2 hours we spent together ! Etienne was so knowledgeable about the area and was the perfect tour guide. What a friendly, down to earth young talented and kind man! It was a pleasure to listen to him explain the mangroves, the bird species, the dolphin behavior- and he had a dolphin playing in the waves at the back of the boat all for us to enjoy. He took us to a most amazing spot for the sunset! This was the most perfect sunset I've ever seen! The whole experience was incredible. The price was very reasonable! Aiden and Etienne made our vacation - we enjoyed our sunset cruise and thank them both for an amazing evening, one we will never forget! We will be back with the grandkids next time!Posted on Laura BartoliniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We arrived and there he was!
