SANDMAN (Bay Boat Island Hopper)

My name is Captain Tim Gonzalez. Are you ready for an adventure? I’ve been a Master 50-ton Captain in the St. Pete area for 5 years now. I started my career as a banana boat captain but quickly moved up the ranks. I ran a 47ft power catamaran 50 passenger vessel for 2 years before taking a job running smaller 6 passenger vessels. Most of my time is spent on the water here in the beautiful St. Petersburg area. Mostly focused on tours out to shell key preserve, outback key, Irma’s pass, Bunces Pass, and Egmont key. My main focus out here is to make my guests feel as comfortable as possible. I quickly realized smaller 6-passenger boats are where I thrive. I just love engaging in the activities that we do on the boat and sharing my love and knowledge of the sea. If your looking for an ordinary trip this is not for you. I love captivating every moment and making each trip special. I’ve spent 12 years working and learning everything I can to make this dream come true and I’d love to share it with you. We offer a good mix of everything, so I’m positive we can cater to you.
