Read MoreWe have taken many private boat tours while on vacation, and can definitely say that Captain Joe's tours are among the best. We were so impressed with the daytime tour, that we took the sunset tour on the same day. Both were fantastic.
Captain Joe is one of the most personable, knowledgeable, friendly and witty persons we have met. Just a really nice guy with so much information to share, and very thoughtful and accommodating to his guests.
His boat is a well maintained and comfortable Sea Ray that can take up to 6 passengers. We wanted the boat all to ourselves, which simply required that we purchase an extra ticket, which was more than fair. Other companies would have made us pay for all 6 seats rather than just 3.
My wife had never seen manatees in the water despite numerous prior boat trips, so at our request Captain Joe took us to spots where he thought we could see them--and we saw plenty.
We also saw many scenic sights during the rest of the daytime trip. And unlike the scripted and sometimes boring narratives you hear on a large tour, Captain Joe provide absolutely fascinating and interesting information, all delivered with a nice sense of humor.
At night we saw baby dolphins for the first time (on other trips we had seen only the adults), then a beautiful sunset and some amazing homes. Captain Joe
knew exactly where every celebrity currently or previously owned a home.
At night it's much cooler on the water than in the evening. Not to worry because Captain Joe has comfortable blankets if you get chilly. I was fine in a short sleeve shirt and shorts, but my wife did use the blanket.
At the end of the sunset tour Captain Joe dropped us off at the dock of a waterfront restaurant that he recommended, and we finished our evening with a wonderful dinner.
I used to own a boat myself, and was very impressed with Captain Joe's seamanship and water safety awareness. Plus he was just fun to to be with. My wife and I definitely would take his tours again the next time we are on vacation, and we recommend his tours to anyone who wants to have a good time on the water.
