Captain Dan was great. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the surrounding area and showed us a lot of the best spots. We even got to see quite a few dolphins - in fact, when the other boats were headed in the wrong direction, Captain Dan knew where to go! We were on the water for a burial at sea and he was respectful and took a lovely video of the moment for us. Thank you, Dan! We will for sure look to him should we ever need a boat in the St Augustine area again.

What a great day on the water! Dan was friendly and informative. The boat was roomy and comfortable. We live in the area and had been looking for a new captain/boat to take family and friends on for tours during their visits. We found it. We will hire Dan again. Highly recommend!

We had the best time with Captain Dan! He was super easy going, took us to a beautiful Island, a really cool water front restaurant, and shared very interesting local history with us. The boat was beautiful and very comfortable...we all left saying it was the best day ever! Thank you for a great and memorable day. We'll be back!

I highly recommend Capitan Dan! We had a good time with a birthday celebration on board. Capitain Dan had water and snacks ready for us, he played our music and he took us all the pictures (actually hundreds lol) we asked for.
Thank you Capitain Dan!

We booked our boat ride with Dan for mother's day. The whole family enjoyed our time out on the water with Dan. We recently moved into town and this was a great way to explore the city from the. My wife admitted this was one of her favorite gifts ever. Feel free to ask him his opinion on where to go or if you have your own ideas he'll work with you to make sure you get the best out of the day. I'm sure we will book again.

First time renting a boat and it came with Captain Dan - what a bonus! Dan took us out of Goodbys Creek, along San Marco, and to Downtown. We even saw a bunch of dolphins. Had a great time. Bringing the family next time!

Captain Dan was great! Professional, great boat and ready to go when we arrived!
I had a family of 4, kids ages 6 and 4. Was on the water for 2.5 hours and had a blast the whole time.
Caught many fish and learned about the local attractions!
Legit! Will book again when in the Jacksonville area! - ArianaAriana

Cpt.Dan was awesome! Professional, friendly, and a joy. Did not expect to get a nice tour experience, but was pleasantly surprised by how much Dan knows about the area and the history of Jacksonville. The ride was very professional, we all feel very safe the entire time even when we were going fast. Cpt.Dan sets a new standard for casual boating in our minds for sure. He also made great recommendations on fun things to do around St.Augustine which we will definitely try out.
- NicoleNicole
Great time! Dan knew a lot about everything we saw from the water so we got a little history lesson while we cruised. Beautiful, clean, immaculate boat and good company. Thanks, Dan!

Me and my husband took our 9 month old daughter on her first ever boat ride. Captain Dan was so nice and welcoming! He had everything we needed and took the time to make sure we were comfortable the entire time. He did an amazing job explaining different parts of Jacksonville to us! We had a lot of fun and will definitely be coming back for another ride!
- AndrewAndrew
Majorly appreciated Captain Dan's careful planning and scouting of best locations in advance of the tour. Clearly experienced, he keeps his craft attractive and well maintained. Be prepared for a lot of stories - one hires this captain more for entertainment than for serenity - but the experience was well worth it.
