5 stars wouldn’t be enough to describe how awesome this trip was! Capt Bobby is awesome! We booked as a private excursions just my husband and I on Valentine’s Day and it was incredible! Capt Bobby was kind and talkative, but not so talkative that we didn’t enjoy alone time. He answered our questions and totally accomplished everything we suggested we might like to do and then some! He even got dolphins to jump the wake of the boat right behind us! You can tell he loves what he does and just wants others to experience it too! Everyone needs to book this trip! Seriously. Stop reading reviews and just book with Bobby!

Itinerary
Watch dolphins play in their natural habitat! These mammals are regularly spotted swimming around our local waters. Depending on season, you might even see manatees, rays & a variety seabirds. There will be a lot to see...beautiful homes, wildlife preserves & the occasional sandbar party. Experience life like a local! I will design your trip around what you want to do or see. There are several wildlife preserves nearby where you can snorkel, swim or collect shells on the beach. Our islands are covered in white sand, beautiful shells & sand dollars. You will have the opportunity to hop off the boat and explore. Take in the unique beauty that this area has to offer. This area averages 361 days of sunshine each year, earning it the nickname of “The Sunshine City.” With all of those sunny days comes amazing sunsets, and there is nowhere better to watch our famous sunsets than floating in the very water the sun sinks into. Book with us later in the afternoon and enjoy our beautiful waterways as we cruise through one of our historic passes & out to the Gulf of Mexico to watch the sunset. If weather permits we cruise the beach taking in the cotton candy afterglow.

Great time with Captain Bobbie. He was very accommodating to our interests., We searched for Manatees, saw a few dolphins, went shelling on an island and spent time boating on the water with great views of the shoreline .
Private boat tour customized to our wishes - Capt. Bobby was great ! We wanted some island beach and shelling time, some birding opportunities and maybe see some dolphins. We did all that and more in our 3 hour tour.
Family of 5 from 8 years old to 65 years old and we all had a fantastic time! Captain Bobby was so knowledgeable about the area and so nice! We loved seeing the area with an experienced local! We toured the islands, saw a lot of wildlife and he took us cruising for dolphins. We will absolutely book again!
Captain Bobby was an excellent guide. He ensured the trip was kid curated and safe. He was very nice, and very relaxed! Our kids had a blast. The boat was impeccably clean and we would recommend his services to anyone.
Captain Bobby was fantastic, kind and very thoughtful. He made sure we maximized the time and we all loved it (including the kids)!
Great family experience. Captain Bobby was an excellent Captain and guide. We shelled and saw so many dolphins. We learned how to fish and saw dozens of fish. Thank for three fun filled hours.
Capt Bobby was amazing- he was so patient and kind with our kids. My kiddos reeled in a shark, a mackerel and a bunch of trout- all within 30 mins of fishing with him. He tailored the trip to fit all our needs- will book again and highly recommend!
My daughter and I had the best time. It was exactly what we were wanting. Our captain made sure we were compfortable and catered the day around things we wanted. We saw very close ups of dolphins and manatee, even saw a couple sting rays jump out of the water. My daughter is obsessed with sharks and we even saw a baby shark !! Our captain was super cool and layed bk, which is what we were lookin for! Definitely worth the price for sure!! We will see yall again on our next trip!!
Capt bobby"s tour was absoluely fabulous. He took us out on his boot for a tour to watch dolphins and so we did. We also saw a stingray and we went to an island for a swim. It was a verry pleasurable morning and cpt bobby went out of his way to make the dolphins jump the waves of his boat. Unfortunately no manatees, and the fish wouldn't bite, but that could not taken away the pleasure. I can recommend it to everybody!
We were two couples on vacation in Treasure Island. Our captain, Bobby, was the best. The cleanest boat I've ever seen. He was very accommodating, having plenty of ice for our beverages and plenty of bottled water. He knows the area well and was very informative. We felt very safe. We saw lots of dolphins playing and Bobby knew exactly how to get them to jump behind the wake of the boat. We went to Shell Island and walked around the beautiful island in water that was very warm and shallow. We went to another sand bar near John's pass which was a lot of fun. This trip is a must do if you are ever in the Treasure Island /St. Pete area. We will definitely do this trip again if we ever get back to this area of Florida.
Captain Bobby was so great. He was knowledgeable, fun and accommodating. We saw manatees, dolphins and swam off the beautiful islands. A++
Bobby was very informative and a wonderful captain. We were able to see dolphins and a beautiful sunset!
We had a beautiful cruise around Shell Island and to St. John’s Pass. Fun for the whole family, from the grandparents (almost 80) to the kiddos (4 and 6). Captain Bob was awesome, and made it known that it was our adventure to go where we wanted for however long we wanted. Shell Island was beautiful, and we loved cruising around St. John’s Pass looking at the gorgeous homes. Although the dolphins weren’t out that day, it barely mattered because everything else was so much fun!
The excellent friendly service. Accommodating all our needs and requests. Providing a wonderful experience.
Highly recommend! The overall experience was amazing and Captain Bobby was phenomenal! We will definitely be booking again the next time we are in the St. Pete/Treasure Island area.
The experience was excellent from the beginning, the boat was already and the captain had a life vest for my kid. He was so knowledgeable about everything around the area and we instantly saw dolphins then went to an amazing island to get shells. It was an amazing 3 hour excursion and will definitely go back again and use the same tour guide.
Weather,sunshine, and captain was very good. We had a group of five and this boat can only accommodate three comfortably. The other two people are left sitting on the hard bow or back of boat. After the 3 hour tour are backs and asses were so sore it hurt to walk. This co needs to limit the number to max of 3 or get a bigger boat. If you are deciding between this and the larger group pontoon boat tours, go with the pontoon and Be much more comfortable. Main reason this is getting a 3 star review instead of lower is the captain Zach had the patience with our developmentally disabled son who answered every question our son had.... and there were alot, lol.
Wonderful boat experience!! Bobby was a great host and provided our family with a great day of exploring and sightseeing. Would definitely recommend this boat trip.
Excellent trip with a knowledgeable captain Bob. Happy to take you wherever you want to go. We swam off Shell Key saw dolphins and more. Highly recommended
Omg! We had the best time with Captain Zach! He was so knowledgeable about the area and showed us a great time! From swimming on an island beach and seeing dolphins just feet in front of us to watching the sunset. My 13 year was over the moon when Captain Zach let him drive the boat…he talked about it the whole way home! We can’t wait to book a fishing trip with Captain Bobby’s crew!! Thanks guys!!! P.s Captain Zach recommended we eat at Crabby’s on the Pass and it didn’t disappoint! We saw a bunch more dolphins here while we ate!
We had the best time! Captain Zack was great and made our day on the boat very special. He was so kind to my 11 and 13 year old boys answering all their questions and even had a football for them to throw in the sand bar. He knew exactly where to find the dolphins and the best sand dollars!! Highly recommend this activity!
Captain Bobby was tremendous at explaining the history and talking about the nature. We were fortunate enough to have a manatee swim right up to the boat. In addition, we had dolphins chase our boat, and took time to look at fish in the mangroves, including many snook, sheepshead and even tarpon! We loved our experience, and we will come back and do this again!
Captain Bobbi provided a fantastic boat ride! He is super nice and will fill your head with as much knowledge about the area as you care for. The day was perfect for a stop at a secluded beach where we collected beautiful sea shells and caught small crabs, pipe fish, and shrimp. We saw several dolphins and a bird sanctuary among the mangroves. Our 11 and 7 yr olds got to drive the boat - that topped off their trip. Bring your snacks, sunglasses, and swim/snorkel/towels. Just do it, relax, and enjoy.
My 78-year-old mother and I enjoyed shelling, dolphin spotting and an astonishing sunset. Thank you guide Zach!
The boat ride was an amazing way to end our trip. Captain Zack was excellent and very accommodating. He was friendly with our twins (6 YO) and showed us some awesome spots including Shell Key preserve where we were able to collect really cool shells and even swim. The sunset to end the ride was perfect. Thanks Captain Bobby and Captain Zack!
My family of 5 and I had the pleasure of spending the morning on the water with Captain Bob. Bob was wonderful and let my 5 year old son drive the boat, and even lended my 16 year old daughter his hoodie after she got a little wet from the waves. The entire family agrees that our boat excursion was the highlight of our vacation. Thank you Bob!
PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! We saw several dolphins. Some so close we could nearly touch them. We went to a secluded island. We felt like we were in Paradise! We collected numerous gorgeous seashells. Bobby took us to see several species of fish on our return. The boat was new, and comfortable. Bobby was very knowledgeable and pleasant.
Such a great day on the water w Capt. Bob. We saw dolphins, manatees, turtles, and even a few tarpon “rolling”. The water was gorgeous and not rough at all. Capt. Bob was so good and patient w my nieces and nephews, they had a blast. I think next time we will do the family sightseeing tours one day and get the guys together for one of Capt. Bob’s fishing charters w the guys the next! Thank you Capt. Bob!!
My husband and I were very impressed with how much knowledge Captain Bobby had of the area. It was nice to be able to get on and off the boat to explore. The captain was prompt and prepared. I felt very comfortable and safe on the boat. I highly recommended this excursion and would gladly go again.
My husband and I had an excellent time on the water. Amazing scenery and we even got to see some Florida wildlife. Bobby's tour was a fun way to experience the area's natural beauty. Definitely recommended for couples and families.
PERFECT day on the water!! Captain Bobby is very knowledgeable and I would 100% recommend! Thanks again for a great day!! Will definitely do this again!
What a trip, Captain Bobby showed us some incredible views, we got breath taking photos our friends will cherish forever. Dolphins, beaches, historic ruins, Captain Bobby showed us an amazing day on the water. We will be coming back! Thanks Captain Bobby!
We had an amazing trip with Captain Bobby on 12/29/22! He was friendly, courteous and made us all feel comfortable and also explained the sights and history of the area. We rode to a small island where we were able to walk off the boat and check out a quiet beach, shells, fish and birds. On our way back, we noticed dolphin swimming near the boat. Capt Bobby slowed down the boat and somehow turned in a way that interested the dolphins to swim alongside the boat and jump out of the water and play along the ride. It was really special. We couldn't believe how much more it was than just a simple boat ride.
