Amazing adventure with grandchildren! As middle aged grandparents to 9 and 6 years old granddaughters, we are always in search of fun, stimulating and exciting adventures! Our afternoon with Captain Dan was all of that and more! The 4 hour sandbar trip was full of learning experiences, fun activities and quality family time !! Captain Dan went above and beyond to not only keep us safe but he took the time to help capture all kinds of precious photos for us! We completely enjoyed our time and could not believe quick the time passed ! Time and money well spent !!! We will definitely book again on our next vacation!!! Thank you so much !!!

10/10! Highly recommend Captain Dan! Captain Dan did a fantastic job of ensuring everyone had a good time. The snorkel gear, nets, float, etc. were all included in the price and it helped all ages have an amazing time. We saw all types of sea life- a manatee, dolphins, crabs, starfish and we were even able to net blue crab-which was a first. He was very friendly and made everyone feel welcome. I highly recommend! (No wildlife was harmed and none taken out of their environment except for a brief moment- they were all quickly returned to the water.)

Great Experience! Captain Dan was great! Very professional, yet friendly! We were with our two children, ages 4 and 5, and felt extremely safe! He is very knowledgeable about the area and shares great information. We will definitely be booking with him again!

Best family excursion!!! Captain Dan was absolutely incredible! The most knowledgeable and professional guide you’ll ever meet. For him it’s not about the money, but about the experience for every person on board no matter their age (ours ranged from 5-70). I felt the utmost security having Dan as our captain. He knows all the rules and regulations for boating, shelling, and the local area. You will not be disappointed booking with him!

Entertaining Outing, Gorgeous Sunset We finished a busy family day with a fun and relaxing excursion with Captain Dan. He was very knowledgeable and entertained with commentary on bay activity. We watched dolphins leap out of the water in unison ad viewed a spectacular sunset to end the day. Very pleased. Definitely recommend it.

Great time with my family Went out with captain Dan. My family had a great time. He ensured we saw dolphin and found sand dollars. We got to an area to swim and the water was beautiful. He brought out a huge float to relax and made sure everyone had snorkels and masks and even had a few jet propellers that the kids loved!!!! Will definitely book again!

Great Time My family had a blast while out with Captain Dan. He was super great with our children, and was very accommodating to make sure they had a blast. He took us on a tour of the various sites to see, and made sure to take us to places where the local wildlife would be visible. My kids were super excited to see the dolphins so close to the boat. We highly recommend you take your family out with Dan during your next vacation in the Anna Maria area!
