We had a wonderful time with our three kids looking for manatees and alligators and birds. Captain John was very informative and very patient with my kids constantly questioning everything they saw in the wild. I would totally recommend this nice relaxing trip for families with young kids. Would love to come back and do it again. Thanks Captain John!

First and foremost - Captain John was an absolute pleasure. It takes a certain type of person to turn a boat full of strangers into an intertwined crew on a voyage to see some wildlife. John was funny, kind, and seemed to know the answer to every question we could throw at him. Second comes the manatees. I was absolutely blown away with not only how quickly we found one, but how beautiful they were. We were lucky enough to have visited during courting season and saw 6-8 manatees in a group (they are usually independent aside from calves and mothers). They were splashing and jumping less than a foot from the boat. My jaw was on the ground for 80 of the 90 minutes - all of which flew by. This is above and beyond the best thing we've done in Naples. I will recommend it to anyone I know who is coming to visit, and I can only hope they're lucky enough to get John as their captain too!

The manatees and Capt. John did not disappoint. We even saw a few alligators. The boat was spacious and had plenty of shade. The trip was educational. Capt. John is very knowledgable about manatees and SW Florida's wildlife in general. An added bonus....Capt. John has a great sense of humor!
