Kerrry and Captained Brody did a great job finding a couple manatees and providing excellent service. It was an awesome experience! Surprisingly there was large schools of fish and the waters were crystal clear. TIP: bring a rash guard and towels for the ride back to the dock. There’s also hot chocolate and coffee at the shop.Awesome experience! We went off-season (late April) and still got to swim and hang out with about five manatees, including a baby who came up and played with us and chewed on our hair. Brody was a stellar captain!

Would definitely do again!Great crew led us to manatees, dolphins and spring. Got to see mama and nursing calf, two dolphins created a mud ring where mullet jumped into the air as dolphins caught and ate them, and dove down on a spring with lots of fish.
