He gave stellar recommendations and led us to an unexpected and delicious lunch and he found us a spot to spend over 20 mins watching a group of active manatees.

What a fabulous day! Captain Ed took my family and friends out on an amazing half day charter. Before setting off, he went over safety instructions and talked to us about what we would like to do during our time aboard. On our way to our first stop, we saw dolphins and Captain Ed did his best to try to engage them in play. The first island we visited was North Honeymoon island. It was beautiful and remote with so many amazing shells. We spent time walking around, gathering shells, enjoying the views and relaxing on the float he set up next to the boat. Captain Ed made sure getting on and off the boat in the water was safe for us which I appreciated as I was traveling with three children.
After we had our fill of shelling and roaming around, we pulled up the anchor and set out for some deeper water in order to use the slide. The kids had so much fun sliding from the top of the boat into the ocean!
Our next stop was Caldesi Island State Park which is accessible only by boat. The ride in was beautiful. This was a great stop for clean bathrooms, concessions, and some souvenir shopping. We wandered out to the beach and walked along the nature path.
Captain Ed was fun and informative. He took us to places we never would have thought to ask for and gave our family and unforgettable day. We would love to do this again in the future. Thank you!

Thank you ABOATDAY and your staff for a lovely boating trip. Their staff was friendly, enthusiastic about their company, and wonderful to work with. Cassie in the office was fantastic, she was extremely helpful and accommodating when we needed to change our date. Captain Ed was AWESOME!! He was knowledgeable of the area, flexible in our activities, wrangled 7 women on a bachelorette trip, found us a tiny pod of dolphins with a baby! It was an absolutely incredible time to spend with the girls. If you’re looking to take a boat out definitely give them a call!

This was my favorite part of my bachelorette weekend! The weather was stormy in the morning so they worked with us to delay a few hours. Captain Ed was fantastic and brought us to a great spot for swimming, using the slide, and collecting sand dollars. He moved us to a different spot when a storm rolled in and we continued an afternoon of fun. Captain Ed has a great playlist and is happy to take group photos - which this bachelorette party really appreciated. I highly recommend this to anyone who’s looking for a few hours of fun!

This trip started off great and kept getting better and better! The boat was comfortable and the Captain was fantastic! He had dolphins chasing our wake, bought us to two different islands, and even gave us some bags for shelling. Add to that a water slide, good music, and friends and you’ve got yourself a perfect boat day!

We had high hopes heading into this trip and Captain Ed exceeded all expectations. He was so knowledgeable, kind, accommodating, and immediately felt like family. He tailored the trip around our preferences and brought us to see dolphins, check out private islands, and gave our kids the most wonderful memories. If you’re thinking of booking this trip- do it! The boat was beautiful and we the BEST time with Captain Ed.

We had the best day with Captain Ed. He was such a great tour guide. He was courteous and professional. He made the cruise all that more better. We saw lots of dolphins. The company could not be more accommodating with the weather. I would highly recommend taking a cruise and enjoying the scenes of the inner coastal of FL.

We had a wonderful time with Captain Ed. He was knowledgeable of the area and took us to some very quiet and private areas so our granddaughters could go shelling and looking for sand dollars. He also knew the perfect anchoring spot so we could use the slide on the boat. We all had a great day!

We had an amazing boat day out for my bachelorette trip with Captain Ed! He went above and beyond to help us have the most memorable day ever! He was able to find some dolphins and got them to do some tricks for us before going to the island for some time off the boat!
