So very fun!
Feb 2023 • Couples
We had so much fun on the Cat boats! The boats are unbelievably stable, and yet let you feel like you were super close to the water. Nate was interesting, and very helpful. Highly recommend doing this tour!!

Glad you had so much fun! Yes, the boats are unbelievably stable. We have tested them ourselves on stormy days and surprise how much these boats can handle. Thank you for join us on the water.

Family Adventure
Aug 2024 • Family
Brilliant! Nate was our guide, we arrived for the 9am tour and were the only party booked so had a private tour. Nate's passion and knowledge made the trip, he is very friendly and safety conscious, and our 5 year old loved it especially being in charge of communicating over the boats radio. The tour was amazing, Nate clearly enjoyed sharing his knowledge of the area and the boats are so much fun and easy to learn. We were given some free time to explore and enjoy the lakes at full speed! When we finished Nate recommended Tiki bar and Grill, a local restaurant on the waters edge, again brilliant. We have no hesitation in recommending this experience and hopefully we will do it all over again!! Thank you Nate!

Worth Every Penny

It was absolutely fabulous! It has SPEED, HISTORY AND SCENERY! Definitely will do again next time we are in Florida! Our tour guide made it fun and was on point explaining the history of the lake! The scenery was breathtaking and the boat was so fun to operate!

Excellent fantastic trip - do not miss out! Real Florida!
This was a wonderful experience, it started with Nath who was an absolute delight he was incredibly knowledgeable qualified and personable. We were given the warmest welcome as a party of 4, including a 10 year old boat fanatic; everything was explained clearly and easy to understand he talked with passion and a great knowledge and was a most interesting guy. He listened with interest to our child who has a love for boats and sailing and gave him time and space to chat. The boats or better described as Cats were fantastic super clean and easy to handle; we had fun on his quizzes; learnt from his tour guiding and had an opportunity to play on the water. Which was excellent fun; got soaking wet but soon dried and non stop laughter! The flora and fauna was superb too; Grace, who accompanied Nath is a 6th generation central Floridian and was also interesting to listen to; she is a lovely young woman and we wish her well in her future career. We would go back in a heart beat and have already recommended to our friends. Excellent value for money and the best thing we did on our vacation, voted by all 4 of us as No 1!

This is one of my favorite reviews we have ever received! Dexter reminded me so much of myself when I was his age, however, I didn't have nearly the access to boats and water as he does. I wish him all the best in his sailing career. Some of the most valuable and deepest lessons in life I learned from sailing. I'm sure his enthusiasm and wit will take him far. Please tell him... fair winds and following seas.

Cool boats on beautiful water
Apr 2023 • Couples
Really cool mini catamarans that are just fun to drive by themselves, but you also get an informative, professional guide, and 2 hours on some of the most beautiful, unspoiled scenery in Florida. This is really fun!!

Tour of the Lakes
May 2022 • Friends
Fantastic location, this tour was awesome! We had great weather, our tour guide was knowledgeable, fun and gave us chance to have a little free rein of the catboat at the end of the tour. Afterwards we ate at the marina, there’s a great food truck, lots of seating and places to unwind and talk about the boat ride.
We’ll definitely be back, and will recommend it to anyone and everyone!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Nate! And Charlotte! 😁😁

Glad you had a wonderful time. I agree that Cypress Cove is a great place to hang out after the tour. You can grab a drink, sit in a hammock, go for a swim, grab some good food, and appreciate all that Florida has to offer. We look forward to having you back.

One of the best water activities you will ever experience.
One of the best water activities we have ever done! Highly recommend Nate and his co-captain, very entertaining and engaging. They use really cool safety jackets, radios, and instructors are both certified. Very safe! You won't be disappointed. We will definitely be back again very soon.

Thank you for the warm review. It was great having you and your husband on the water with us. We had fun boats, great weather, and a nice big group... but ultimately it takes great people to make a great time. Thank you for making our "escape" wonderful.

This was a great adventure so simple so fun.
Nate and crew were very thorough at the safety briefing. The pace was just right and even had time to play with the boat on our own.
The tour was very educational and interesting not boring or did it sound rehearsed.
The wife and I are planning the next tour and hopefully we will be bringing a couple more people along for the ride.
Top notch business
