We had a great early morning cruise with Captain Cory on our recent trip to Florida. We wanted a chance to see the Manatees but didn’t want to do a swim. We saw Manatees right away. I had no idea they were so large. We also toured the area with Cory pointing out many interesting facts about the area and wildlife. We would highly recommend the tour and we have decided to do their Manatee Swim tour on our next trip. Cory also suggested Homosassa Wildlife Park, which was nearby and provided an additional opportunity to see Manatees. Cory was a great guide.

We opted for the cruise and it was wonderful. Steve was a great captain. Knowledgeable and fun. We even got to see dolphins. Next time we’re coming back to do their swim package. Wait and book on a cold day for best manatee viewing.

Seeing the Moma manatee and her calf. Also, our captain, CC, was great! His intro and manatee trivia was informative and funny. He kept all ages entertained.
