Steve is a great person and a wonderful guide. We caught only a quick glimpse of a baby manatee, but he made the trip worthwhile by speaking to our interests and own expertise, which in this case had to do with vegetation and trees and resource management. He pulled up critters from the traps he puts out: a beautiful fish and, amazingly, a very rare pregnant male seahorse. He is friendly, his dog is a seafaring riot and a free extra, and we had a great time. A relaxed, peaceful, beautiful trip.
