Absolute blast - Our family went on this excursion and had an absolute blast! Diego was our guide. He was friendly, personable and went above and beyond for us allowing us extra time to look for marine life which we did find. We got to see a few dolphins thanks to the dolphin whisperer. we would highly recommend booking this excursion. P.S. the lost earring was found!

Fun in the sun - Easton, our Captain, was great and made it trip quite enjoyable even though it was a windy day. We played on the lily pad and the paddleboards. We even saw a couple of dolphins. We had nine people and the boat was spacious enough to accommodate us all comfortably. I would highly recommend this trip.

A very cool experience - Sebastian was a wonderful captain. He spotted dolphins on the trip to Crab Island, made a detour to make sure that we spent time and saw them. That was amazing. The family played in the waist deep water and listened to music at Crab Island. We brought our own drink and snacks. We got ice cream from the only vendor out there on a September Monday morning. This excursion was a bit pricey but we enjoyed the time and experience with our family. That was worth it. There were 9 of us.

The worst!! Lit a match to $600 - Started with a used “contract” with other named crossed out which should have been the 1st sign. Speaker broken so no music. “Snorkel” equipment was a few goggles. “Captain” literally drove us to crab island and then hung out with his buddies. Finally, on our return the boat ran out of gas in the middle of the channel and my children were crying. At that point the captain did not know what was wrong because the gas gauge was also broken. Owners were anything but apologetic!! This “company” has NO business having a business.
