Just Book Them!

Remi was amazing! Absolutely the best captain for our ladies outing. I will definitely be booking him for our next outing. I have booked with this company for the past couple of years and they are definitely the best around.

Clearwater boat tour

Remi is an amazing boat captain who makes the tour fun, safe, and very memorable. He knows the local waters well, shares great stories, and keeps everyone comfortable the whole time.

Captain Remi rocks!!

Great experience! Probably the best way to enjoy different areas of Clearwater and nearby islands. Captain Remi was great and we could not have enjoyed our time more. He was very personable and very kind. I would not give a second thought about booking this adventure.

Avoid the crowds, enjoy pristine beaches and wildlife!

Captain Remi was very friendly and accommodating. The boat was clean, safe, and comfortable. We requested to cut our trip short due to a family member who stayed back at the hotel not feeling well. He maximized what we could do in the reduced time frame and we went to a stunning beach that felt private. He gave us nice bags for shell collecting and we found many sand dollars and beautiful conch-like shells. We swam and even found a live starfish! He dropped us off closer to our hotel which was helpful. I dropped a star because there was no bottled water on the boat even though the description stated it was included. We needed water and could have brought some but didn't due to the description.

Great day on the water

What an amazing experience! We did a half day trip with family. Capt. Nick was the best! He took us to some beautiful locations, pointed out cool spots, and was very accommodating for us. If/when we come back, we will book the fishing charter with him next time! Would definitely recommend this to anyone!!

Must book whilst down near Clearwater!!

Remi was an amazing captain with fab music taste! He was hospitable and social, making us all feel at ease. We had initially booked the 1.30 pm slot with Reel Runner Gulf Adventures but ended up rescheduling to the 9am slot because of potential bad weather. This was definitely the move and I thank the Reel Runners staff for giving us this option. We were able to bring drinks on board thanks to the cooler on the back of the boat. The pontoon boat had lots of shade which allowed us to cool off from some of the sun exposure. We saw dolphins and went to more secluded beaches that you would only really normally be able to access by watercraft- well worth the money. Thank you for an awesome time, Rémi!

Highlight of our trip!

This was the highlight of our trip to Clearwater. Our Captain, Remi, was awesome! He was very communicative prior to leaving for the trip, ensuring we had everything we would need. Once on the boat, he made sure we had the best experience and listened to what was important to us. We wanted to see wildlife, snorkel, and find shells. Obviously he can't control what wildlife we see, but once we arrived at each island he pointed out the areas that would be best for snorkeling, best to find shells, and best spots to see dolphins and manatees. He was spot on. We saw several dolphins and manatees just feet away from us. While snorkeling we saw so many fish, stingrays, and crabs. The kids also enjoyed collecting shells. An unexpected bonus was his knowledge of the area. We have spent a lot of time in Clearwater and we learned so many new things. We will be back next time we are in Clearwater!

Fantastic!

We booked a 4 hour, private boat tour with Reel Runner Gulf Adventures for a group of six adults. Everything about the tour from start to finish was excellent! Communication with the tour owner/staff was very clear and consistent from beginning to end. They went above and beyond to ensure a great, customized experience for our group. Our guide, Captain Remi, was AWESOME!!! It was clear his main priority was for our group to have the best time possible, and we did! He was extremely knowledgeable and shared details along the tour route. He also provided a cooler full of ice, amazing non-stop music, and great conversation. We are definitely looking forward to future sailing with Reel Runner Gulf Adventures, and Captain Remi.
