What a great afternoon. We totally enjoyed every minute. Thomas is a great captain is knowledgeable about the different areas to see. Would easily do it again.

Tommy was the nicest host. Welcomed us onboard Happy Ours like a friend would. The boat is in great condition and is very comfortable. My wife and I really enjoyed spending the afternoon with Captain Tommy showing us around beautiful Cape Coral. His communication throughout the booking process (and even afterwards) was top notch. Chartering this boat was the highlight of our trip. I highly recommend chartering a boat with Captain Thomas and would do so again, if I come back to the area.

Thomas was great to work with, the pontoon was very well kept and ran beautifully. We had a nice day to see everything from the water and enjoy the nice quiet ride. Thanks again.

Thomas was really a good host and very accommodating! From communication skills, being the captain of the boat, name it! He was very attentive to my inquiries and never left me hanging. Not to mention how elegant the boat is! Very clean and well maintained. My friends liked our yacht trip so much considering they flew down to Florida to experience this. It was very worth it. Satisfaction guaranteed.

We had a great time and captain Tom was awesome. We would highly recommend him.
He knew the area well and he went out of his way to make sure we saw dolphins. Mike and Tom both responded quickly to our questions and were very helpful. - JohnJohn★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Luxury Pontoon Boat for Cape Coral Canal Tours - Fuel includedApr. 11th

Boat was nice and clean.
Owner friendly & helpful.
He let us know good places to stop at to hang out.
We had a great time by all.
Wish we picked it up earlier and stayed out longer. Would rent from him again.
Thank you! - BarbBarb★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Luxury Pontoon Boat for Cape Coral Canal Tours - Fuel includedMay. 03rd
Tommy took us out for a two hour cruise of the canals, but we had such a great time that we extended it another two hours! Tommy shared vavigational tips and apps with us, and showed us how to get all the way to our house in SW Cape. Now we know all the bridges we need to get under and will purchase the right size boat! Thanks for a great day Tommy!

Tom is a very experienced captain. He was very friendly and communicative. He answered all of our questions, and stopped for us to see dolphins. The ride was pretty smooth except one or two bumps.

Captain Tom was the best. From pleasant and informative conversation to putting up a table in the boat for my Granddaughter’s to eat lunch at, he was great. Takes all the worries out of trying to rent a boat and make your way around the area. Everything was included in his price. Will use Captain Tom again when we come back to Cape Coral.

Thomas was super helpful and friendly. The boat had easy access and was very clean and even had an on-board porta potty (which thankfully no one needed! 😜).
Also appreciated not needing to refuel the boat when we were done.
Thanks for everything, Tommy! - KevinKevin★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Luxury Pontoon Boat for Cape Coral Canal Tours - Fuel includedMar. 26th

Captain Thomas provided our small group with a lovely afternoon outing. The vessel was immaculate and cabin and deck well appointed. Thomas was very informative about the area and a pleasure to deal with. We will be chartering again when family visits the area.

Thomas was amazing! We booked his boat at the last minute yesterday and he was our captain today. He was knowledgeable and safe (we had a baby on board). It made for the best last day of our trip. Highly highly recommend! Thank you Thomas!
- VirginiaVirginia★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Luxury Pontoon Boat for Cape Coral Canal Tours - Fuel includedFeb. 26th
There was 4 of us and we didn't know what to expect. Thomas was very knowledgeable and showed us things we wouldn't have seen if we went on our own. He showed us a lot in the 3 hours we were with him and always asked if there was anything else we wanted to see. We will definitely book with him again if we are back in the area.
