Great family outing, well worth the money!’

Ray Morales was our captain, he was awesome and the whole 4 hour trip was great! We had our kids and grandkids from 19months - 31 with my husband and I. Ray was just great, the scenery was 5 star and feeding the raccoons was so fun!

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Lisa! I’m really happy to hear you and your family had such a great time with Captain Ray. He’s fantastic with guests of all ages and always makes sure everyone has fun and feels safe. Feeding the raccoons is definitely one of the highlights! We truly appreciate you choosing us and hope to welcome you all back again soon!

So much fun!

We had so much fun! Racoons are so cute! We even saw dolphins and stringrays. Captain Eli was very attentive, professional, and friendly. He did his best for us to enjoy this trip. I highly recommend this tour and Captain Eli! One small thing, take mosquitos repellent to the Racoon Island! ;))

Operator response

We’re so glad you had a fun and full experience at Racoon Island, Olena. Seeing dolphins, stingrays, and raccoons all in one trip is hard to beat. Captain Eli will be happy to know his efforts made the day even better for you. Thanks for sharing your adventure with others.

We had a great time...

We had a great afternoon with Captain Eduardo! We were able to feed some raccoons and then swim somewhere else. Eduardo is very professional and knows the surroundings very well.

Operator response

Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé une excellente après-midi avec le capitaine Eduardo. Il connaît effectivement très bien la région et aime partager ces moments uniques comme la rencontre avec les ratons laveurs et la baignade dans des endroits calmes. Ce sera un plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau à bord !

Amazing evening cruise

Went on an evening boat tour with my wife and kids and it was worth it. Our tour guide Eduardo was great. That day was raining off and on but it was worth every penny. The lights of the buildings and the homes were memorable. More dry spots than drizzle of rain. Captain Eduardo was very informative he gives you a detail quick run down boat safety rule's and where tour is going and then off you go. We visited all the 3 islands that evening. Pictures were definitely amazing. The glare of the lights off the water so so cool. We listen to our own music and that was great. The area of the marina is dark when parking but it’s safe to park on the street. Overall 5 stars and I will do it again in the future.
