Such a perfect experience from every aspect. The boat, the sights, the food, the service. And….Jamie. He is a marvellous host and loves what he does.
Really glad you had a great time.
It was a wonderful and memorable experience. Jamie is a world class host, with attention to detail in every respect.
I have just returned from a trip with Captain Jacques Absolutely first rate, great food and exemplary hospitality, Captain Jamie made us feel so very welcome. I will definitely be booking again next time I am in Tampa. I can recommend La Vie En Bleu to anyone looking to enhance their bank of fond memories. A real highlight of my visit, one an experience not to be missed
You’re the best thanks so much Jon. Glad you had a great time.
What an amazing experience! We took our 4 children out on this 3 hour tour and had the best time. Captain Jamie was very attentive and took such great care of us. We had the pleasure of seeing dolphins and beaches that were only accessible via boat. Highly recommended! We are already looking forward to our next tour.
Mahalo and thank you truly had a wonderful time with your family as well and was really glad that we were able to have such a great experience and see so many dolphins and let your son drive as well. Our future Captain .
