    Wife Cathy, friend Marsha, and I made a day excursion to Cedar Key from Gainesville for an afternoon Coastal Tour with Captain Phil and five other passengers. Captain Phil had been giving these tours for several years and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Cedar Key and surrounding islands, and also has extensive knowledge of local birds and other wildlife. His friendly narrative was absolutely entertaining and enjoyable. The weather was perfect for a serene, relaxing experience. We had gone on the Coastal Tour in the past, but it was just as much fun again, this time with a special friend, and we will likely go again someday in the years ahead. Captain Phil's presentation is extemporaneous rather than sounding scripted or rote, and he's quick to respond to questions. We highly recommend visiting Tidewater Tours and Cedar Key.

    This guy is amazing!! He put me on my first Red ever and it was a keeper! My son and I had a great time catching limits of fish. But better yet, Captain Jason is a stellar guy and has a knowledge of fishing like I have NEVER seen before. In the Slot is definitely a 10/10!!

    We had a great experience kayaking through the estuary and out in the gulf. A great place to rent your kayaks and a beautiful location for seeing so many birds, dolphins, and other wildlife! Highly recommended activity

    We had a great time with Captain Voyles! He was passionate and eager to share the history of the area. I would highly recommend his service.

    Great trip as usual. Capt Dillon knows the area and will put you on fish. We dodged the weather and caught some large snook.

    We went on a Tuesday afternoon for a 3:30 boat trip. Our captain was informative. It was a relaxing ride on a pontoon out to the keys surrounding Cedar Key. A maneuvered the pontoon in choppy waters very well. We went to see the lighthouse and the university of Florida workstation. For 35 bucks was not a bad trip.

    Read the reviews before we went out. Everyone had good things to say. So we were very excited. But, nothing could have prepared us for one of the most exciting, entertaining and informative trip we'd ever taken in 19 years of marriage.From Captain Greg to Hank the entire adventure couldnt have compared us for the more than amazing time we had. And the grouper we caught is going to feed us for weeks. More than patient with "beginner's" and they ensured that we were well stocked before we docked. Diffently will be back for more.

    We had a great day on the water with Captain Jason! He was excellent with our 9 and 6 year old boys, making sure they understood how and where to cast. He kept us on the fish all morning and even stopped for the boys to see the manatee and dolphins. We’ll definitely be back to charter with J. Lowes Guide Service!

    Great Captain Steve, though I have been fishing for decades, he taught me new techniques, so patient. The boat was immaculate! Though we didn't catch much he tried his best. Some days just are not good catches.

    7/26/2022 Our fishing trip with Captain Tracy was a blast! He is very knowledgeable of Cedar Key & its history. We were able to catch a lot of fish during our outing. I would definitely recommend scheduling a fishing trip with Tracy if you’re traveling to Cedar Key. You won’t regret it!

    Capt. Jason Porter is amazing. He has hundreds od GPS locations for anything you are after. He will get within a few feet of his target location and his remote GPS trolling motor will keep you on spot. No more wasting time trying to anchor over target and retrieve. he will get you on target and you'll get fish. Go catching, not fishing.
