Best boat tour ever!

Captain Michael was great. He goes above and beyond to accommodate guests. He is someone, who loves what he does, and his boat was spotless and ran very smooth. All of our family enjoyed talking with him as well. He is the perfect host. He knew I wanted to see dolphins and he was going to do anything in his power to make it happen. We saw dolphins, manatees, and turtles. I would Thanks to Captain Michael for a beautiful sunset cruise!

Special Night.

Captain Mike was great. My daughter got engaged last night and we where out to dinner and saw Captain Mike drive by in his boat and decided to call the number he picked us up outside the restaurant and we started our moon light ride down the bay the view was incredible. He is very knowledgeable abut the surrounding areas. Thanks Captain Mike for help making my daughters special night rememberable

Congratulations to your daughter on her engagement! 🎉 I’m really glad everything worked out perfectly and that I was able to pick you up right from the restaurant and turn the evening into a beautiful moonlight cruise. Nights like that out on the water around Fort Lauderdale and the Intracoastal are truly something special, and I’m honored to have been a small part of such an important memory for your family. Thank you again for choosing Water Limo—it means a lot. I’d love to have you all back out on the water anytime! 🚤

Excellent!

Captain Mike was excellent! He was extremely accommodating and informational along the trip. A perfect option for small family groups, keep in mind that you can only have a group of 6 people. I would definitely recommend!
