We had Captain Andrew Sr. as our boat captain and he was absolutely amazing! We got to see several manatees, many alligators, as well as several different types of birds. He was so knowledgeable on all the different types of wildlife and shared many interesting facts and stories. This boat tour was a hit for a whole family which included little kids (age 4 and 7) and our older kids (age 20 and 23) plus the adults- we highly recommend!

Captain Storm was great even with my toddler and baby not being the most pleasant guests. We saw a few mom and calves together which was wonderful. We also saw a few big gators. Captain Storm was extremely knowledgeable about everything we saw and had wonderful jokes!!!

My mom has been looking for manatees her entire life. After an unyielding search in a year boasting historical lows in manatee population, she was resigned to failure. Driving back from disappointment after disappointment in Everglades City, we spotted a sign for this Manatee sightseeing tour. At this point in the journey we feared the worst: the end of her search would result in nothing more than yearning in a heart doomed to forever feel the pain of a manatee-sized hole. With these insatiable feelings of consternation, we hoped for a beacon of light in what would be, with the absence of manatees, a perpetually dark world. Captain Storm came as that harbinger of illumination. Mere minutes after disembarkation, Captain Storm, with the air of a skillful mariner experienced far beyond his years, achieved what countless prior had failed to do. He found manatees. Not just one manatee, but many, all while weaving colorful tales of his marine history together with enlightening facts about the wildlife with which we were then surrounded. Captain Storm, in true professional fashion, fulfilled the dream of my dear and previously insatiable mother, and for that we are eternally grateful.

We had such a great time looking for Manatees, Alligators and other animals on our 1.5 hour boat ride. Captain John, who told more dad jokes then the amount of alligators that we saw and we saw A LOT of alligators. Captain John shared his knowledge about the area and the nature that we saw and the time just flew by. We would definitely go again. (Bonus: We saw a Manatee and her baby.

For our New Years Eve, our family enjoyed 1.5 hours with Captain John on a comfy boat exploration of the waters of Port of the Islands near Naples. It did not disappoint. We saw gators and manatees up close while catching the breeze to stay cool. The birds were beautiful. Captain John had a lot of info to share about the local critters (land and water) and plants/trees. Our kids (teens) really enjoyed it beginning to end. We recommend!
