The captain and Jayne were great! I have four very inquisitive kids, and they graciously answered all of their questions and explained things on their level. They were encouraging when my kids spotted things. When we left, all of my kids said it was their favorite thing we had done on our trip.

I'm so glad everyone enjoyed the tour. There is nothing better than having kids truly excited to learn about nature. You have a beautiful family and it was our pleasure to show you around the area. Thanks again, Capt CJ and Jayne

This was a wonderful tour and very informative. We learned a lot about local wildlife, different boats and buildings, etc. We saw fish jumping out of the water, multiple different bird species, lots of dolphins, an alligator and a sea turtle! CJ and Jane were also very smart, welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend this beautiful tour to anyone.

We were in town for a SpaceX launch and took a tour of the lagoon the day before. The islands and life were interesting. The architecture of the houses is a niche subject. The lagoon is part natural and part dredged. Captain CJ was able to answer all my questions about the hydrography, development and history, and economics of the area. As a professional writer with multiple national bestsellers, I found it well worth the money for the research value, and it was a relaxing afternoon with someone else handling the transport. Captain CJ is exceptionally safe, and made sure our daughter had a flotation device to fit. Our infant son was too small, and he apologetically refunded my wife a partial amount since she and the son couldn't board. I appreciate that he takes safety seriously enough to reduce his fare. If we're back in the area when the kids are older, we'll book another tour. We were actually there in Feb 2020, but the date selection doesn't go back that far.
