Our family of girls had a great time with our Girl Captain, Linda. It was the best part of our trip to PCB. Very laid back and enjoyable experience. We felt right at home in the boat. :) We saw many dolphins and other sea life including a huge stingray. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. Thank you Linda! Wish we could have done it every day!!

Although the water was a little rough today, Captain Linda was amazing! She handled our boat like a pro! She took us straight to places to see the most marine life! She was very knowledgeable and provided tons of information. Not only did we see dolphins, but we seen sea turtles and a huge stingray, as well. Shell island was beautiful even though the water was still a little cool. So if you’re looking for a great day on the water, I recommend Captain Linda!

We booked this tour as a gift for my wife's sister and her husband from the internet - sight unseen - for February 14, 2024. Captain Ashley is very personable, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. She is also very professional and a very skilled boat handler. Despite going in less-than-perfect weather, she made our trip very enjoyable and memorable. We will definitely book with her again during a future visit to the PCB area. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for this type of trip.
