We’ve had an absolutely incredible time in Clearwater, but the highlight of our trip, hands down, was our day out on the water with Captain Vinnie! If you’re thinking about booking a boat ride—whether it’s to spot dolphins, go wakeboarding, snorkeling, or shelling—do it with Captain Vinnie! He was not only kind and fun, but genuinely went above and beyond to make sure our day was unforgettable.
With 13 years of experience, you can tell he truly loves what he does—and that passion shines through in every moment. Thank you, Captain Vinnie, for giving our family such an amazing experience. If you’re heading to Clearwater, this is an absolute must-do!

I highly recommend everyone to use Captain Vinnie’s Boat Tours if you are looking to have a great day and amazing experience. He is friendly, educational and fun! I have been on several tours and rented boats but nothing compares to the beautiful dolphins, strings rays and a manatee from afar we saw today. Seeing the dolphins jumping behind the boat and so close playing around was incredible experience . I will absolutely be using Captain Vinnie’s Boat Tours again very soon! Thanks you for a wonderful day and the amazing experience! You Rock Captain Vinnie!

Just spent the most AMAZING afternoon with Captain Vinnie’s Boat Tours!! Saw lots of dolphins and a huge school of rays! Had a very relaxing cruise through Tierra Verde and saw some beautiful boats and homes. Stopped at Shell Island and found dozens upon dozens of sand dollars. I HIGHLY recommend booking with Vinnie. We will definitely be repeat clients. The absolute highlight of our vacation, hands down 😎🐬☀️

Our family had a fantastic time with Captain Vinnie. His boat is so clean and well stocked. He thought of everything, down to plastic bags to take our shells home. He is an accomplished Captain, we all felt very safe and comfortable. The highlight of the trip and, well worth the cost of admission, was the dolphins chasing his boat. We highly recommend this trip. We will talk about this trip forever!!

Amazing! Sunset cruise was perfect. Vinny was a great guide and made sure we had a great time. Very professional and a nice clean boat. Got to see some dolphins and found lots of shells at Shell Key. Highly recommended!!

We had such an awesome time with Captain Vinnie! I was super nervous because I don’t know anything about boats and booked a 5 hour tour with Vinnie for my boyfriend’s 28th birthday. (Let me tell you, after this tour, Vinnie made US want to get a boat 😂 )
He was so knowledgeable about the area and I swear he’s got those dolphins trained lol He knows the most beautiful places and has an incredible eye for aquatic wild life (we saw a turtle, shark, a ton of fish and so many dolphins) He took us to Shell Key, Egmont Key where we were able to snorkel, and showed us around the waters. The ride was absolutely thrilling.
I would book him again in a heart beat. truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for such an incredible adventure!!

Capt Vinnie is a class act with a beautiful boat and a true love for the area. My family of 6 enjoyed every minute on his boat. We had a great time finding sea shells, snorkeling and seeing dolphins too. Would 100% recommend him.

Captain Vinnie's tour was so fabulous! He was personable, informative, and so knowledgeable! We were able to step on and off the boat into waters so easily and safely. He ensured we were comfortable, and that our tour met what we wanted. Beautiful sunsets, some water time, some exploration, and some fast boat time for kicks! Will definitely will repeat this. Captain Vinnie is completely worth it!!

I don’t even know where to start with all the amazing things about Captain Vinnie! We booked this trip for just me and my husband. From the beginning, Captain Vinnie was extremely communicative about everything, from where to park, what to bring… this list goes on. Once we got to the ramp, he was extremely welcoming! First thing he took us to see dolphins!! He would get close to them and when he’d see more, he go and show us! My favorite part was he was a fantastic tour guide and would explain the area and options we could pick from! The snorkeling was amazing and he took us to “Captain Vinnies Island” where we found sand dollars and shells galore! If you’re looking for a more personal experience with a cool dude like Captain Vinnie, this is the place to go!!

Vinnie was very knowledgeable about the area and marine wildlife we encountered. He took us to a beautiful spot to shell with crystal clear water and no waves. His boat is very nice, clean, and well maintained. I highly recommend Vinnie, my family had an amazing time!

Captain Vinnie provided an amazing tour for our family! He is a native with years of experience, so he is very knowledgeable of the area, it’s history, and wildlife. We saw dolphins, snorkeled, and even stopped by an island. I have traveled a lot in my 42 years and lived in Europe for several years, but this tour was by far one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had. We will be looking him up next year for sure! The price was very reasonable for the experience. Don’t forget to tip. Well worth it!

This is my second time booking with Captain Vinnie's boat tour. If you are looking for a private boat tour, I highly recommend Vinnie's. We booked the 2.5 hr sunset cruise, where we took in the beautiful views, along with stopping at an island to look for shells. He has a ton of knowledge of the surroundings, sealife, history etc. It is an all around amazing experience!
