Frequently Asked Questions

Life Jackets
Life jackets are available for all passengers on board.
Life jackets are provided for children, and children 6 years old and under are required to wear a life jacket while the boat is underway. Once we arrive at the island, children may remove their life jackets.
You are welcome to bring your own life jackets if preferred.

Maximum Capacity
The maximum capacity is six passengers plus the captain.
Although the boat is physically capable of holding more people, the U.S. Coast Guard regulates private charter vessels like ours to a maximum of six passengers.
All guests count toward the passenger limit, including children of any age. If your group has more than six guests, we may be able to accommodate you with a second boat. Please call to confirm availability for two boats. 727-899-1615

Reservations & Busy Season
During the busy season, we sometimes book out three to four weeks in advance, so we always recommend making a reservation as early as possible.
If you ever need to cancel or change anything, feel free to reach out to us.

Are Tips Included?
Gratuity is not included in the tour price, but it is always appreciated. Your captain is dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and personalized experience by sharing local knowledge, searching for dolphins and wildlife, taking photos, and making your day on the water as memorable as possible. Tips are a wonderful way to recognize great service.

Bad Weather
We always recommend booking earlier in your vacation in case the trip needs to be moved back a day or two due to weather.
If weather conditions are questionable, we’ll reach out and let you decide if you’d like to make any changes to your reservation.
Trips canceled due to unsafe or foul weather conditions will receive a 100% refund of the deposit.
