We had a beautiful day on the water celebrating my sisters’s birthday. Captain Cliff showed us landmarks and told us fun stories. We anchored at a small beach where we took a nice walk and did some swimming. We were very happy with our 3 hour boat tour. Highly recommend.

Great Time! Great Guide!
Cpt. Tobey planned a great day for our entire family. We were able to see sea life and water birds throughout the trip and swam on the sandbars, snorkeled, hunted for seashells, and picnicked. He focused on our goals for the trip, ensured our comfort throughout, and shared insights on local history, features and nature. I like small business owners who value their clients and do everything they can to ensure a great experience and that’s what Cpt. Tobey did! Thank you, Cot. Tobey!

Water sports behind the Tipsy Teaky
We had such an amazing experience on the Tipsy Teaky Pontoon Charter with Tobey our Captain doing everything to ensure we had the best time! We opted to add on water sports which I highly recommend! Tobey arranged for multiple turns on the big inflatable hot dog! The kids and adults just loved to be pulled behind the boat!! We saw dolphins on our tour, visited the Sandbar and Tobey ensured we got the best pictures! He also told us great information about the area and you can tell he lives what he does. Reasonable pricing, great communication and quality service. Highly recommend.
