Chandler was amazing!! The tour was very informative and fun for our family and we so appreciate his recommendations of the city!!

Review for Chandler

We had a fantastic experience with Captain Chandler! The boat was the perfect size for our group of four adults. We got to see dolphins playing in the boat’s wake, multiple rays gliding through the water, and even a small shark. Crab Island was fun but what we enjoyed most was cruising the waters and enjoying the beautiful natural scenery. We all agreed this adventure was the highlight of our vacation.

Awesome Day!

Our trip with Chandler on the Catamaran was amazing! When we come back we will definitely be looking Chandler up again for another boat ride and trip to Crab Island!!!

Bethany Tibbets

Our 8yo daughter had the best day of her life, in large part to Captain Chan. She had really built up snorkeling in her mind, and he delivered on the perfect spot—with nets. He is friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and seems like a cool human. It was a wonderful experience for our group of 3.

Magical day snorkeling with Capt Chan

The boat was clean, the music was great, and the vibes were perfect. He took care of everything so we could just relax and enjoy the water. Highly recommend – we’ll definitely be booking with him again!

Crab island

Our trip was good. Captain Taylor was great!  The reason for 4 stars was because the advertising says free on site parking. We were made to park across the street and it wasn’t free. What was even worse was the didn’t take cash and that’s all we had. Very hectic hour of trying to get out of the lot.

No Free Parking

Taylor was an excellent captain and very knowledgeable. We had a great time.

Great Time

We had captain Taylor, though also got to meet captain Chandler too!  Captain Taylor tailored (no pun intended) our trip to exactly what we wanted.  Want to see dolphins… we saw dolphins.  Want snorkel… we snorkeled. Want to paddle board…we went paddle boarding.  He matched the sarcasm to a T with my teenagers and had us just wanting to adopt him as one of ours.   Incredibly courteous, incredibly kind, and impeccably knowledgeable. Truly felt like he was one of our family members.  Will do this again!  Captain Taylor, we’ll try to get you that invitation to my son’s wedding.  

Absolutely Amazing

We loved our trip & Captain Chandler is a cool 

Excellent Captain

We had a lot of fun and a wonderful captain- Chandler. Great dolphin viewing. Highly recommend.

Great experience

We had the best time! It feels like you’re on a jet ski and we got to see dolphins up close. We went at sunset and ai highly recommend going at this time, it was magical. Be prepared, the closer you sit to the back the more soaked you get. We were  laughing so hard! The spray in the back is a little intense but so fun!

Beyond fun!
