We had an amazing day! Captain Mark was fantastic, boat was a great size and we appreciated the advance communication and helpful advice! He was very flexible on the itinerary and made great recommendations! We can’t wait to come back and would recommend you to anyone!

We had a great time on the waters going around the AMI area. Captain Mark was extremely insightful and he felt like part of our family shortly into the guided boating day. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to spend a few hours on the waters while visiting the AMI. Captain Mark was so accommodating too as we made the reservations pretty last minute. We will definitely hit up Captain Mark the next time we are in the area.

Boat was super clean, exactly as described and on time. Crysten’s communication was quick, thorough and she was great to work with us, especially with all the uncertainty coming in right after Hurricane Ian. I can’t recommend booking with her enough, our boat time was one of the highlights of our visit and she made it happen for us! We worked with Captain Marc, and ended up hiring him last minute for our family’s day out vs driving ourselves. We were so glad we did, it was relaxing and fun for all of us (ages 10-70 and everything in between!) He was knowledgeable about everything from the land, sea, boat, wildlife, and history of the area. We had some special requests of things we wanted on board, things we wanted to see, and needed assistance boarding/getting off the boat and he accommodated, with a smile. Marc gave us an amazing trip out to Egmont Key, Passage Key, and around the area. When we come back, we will call Crysten and Marc again!

Best boating experience ever. Marc and Kim were a whole lot of fun and made our experience more than we expected. It was our daughters birthday and they had a blast. They talked about Marc and Kim for a couple hours and can’t wait to get back on the water with them. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Marc was AMAZING! We have been out on a boat many times and this by far was one of the smoothest rides we have ever experienced. We had a baby with us and being her first time out in the water we were a little worried. Marc was super patient and made sure we felt comfortable. He had some great stop suggestions and took us to some cool spots. We truly had a great time and hope to have him take us around next year when we come back. Definitely worth booking!
