Captin Steve was friendly informative and determined to find the manatees. We didn't see any initially but he kept looking and after a while we found a few different one's. We also saw 2 dolphins which was the icing on the cake

Captain Steve was great. He was very informative and had little known stories and trivia about the area. Very interesting and, of course, he found us manatees to view. He knows all their hangouts. Thanks Captain Steve!
