Captain Elio and his first mate son showed us (my wife and myself - my son and his girlfriend) a great time yesterday. The boat itself was beautiful. We covered a lot of ground (or water in this case) and Capt Elio was incredibly knowledgeable about every inch of it. In addition to the landmarks, he put is groups of 20-50 dolphins twice and towards the end of the tour put us in a perfect position for a beautiful sunset. I highly recommend his services.
Captain Dan was the best tour guide we could have asked for, we will definitely be booking with him again. He helped my proposal go amazingly!
Dylance, Thank you for asking me to be part of such a special day. I will always remember.. I hope to see you guys again! Captain Dan
Captain Dan gave us the boat trip we were hoping for, sharing info on the sights, a stop at a beach and friendly banter along the way. Provided waters and snacks, set up photo ops, making our 3-hour cruise a highlight of our trip.
Sherri, I had a great time with you and the crew! You guys made my day! Thank you for the picture. Hope to see you again. Captain Dan
This was the most amazing experience in St Augustine. We were celebrating a friend’s birthday and Captain Elio and his assistant Luis treated us like queens! The sunset was spectacular! They explained a little bit about St Augustine history. They played music and were our photographers. Highly recommended.
Maribel I am happy you and your group had a great time! I spoke to Captain Elio, and he very much enjoyed himself! Can't wait to have you on board again! captain Dan
Captain Dan was very accommodating to our group. We were interested in just cruising around and checking out the local culture from the water while enjoying a day on the boat. He was quite knowledgeable about the areas where we boated. He was there to go wherever we wanted. It was a lovely time. We will look him up next time we are in the area and want to go for an afternoon jaunt.
Kristin, Thank you for the very nice review. I very much enjoyed my time with your group and hope to see you back again soon. Captain Dan
Captain Dan was fantastic! He was patient, committed to a smooth and safe ride, and his funny stories kept everyone entertained. Our kids said it was the “best day ever!” Highly recommend booking with him.
Victoria, you have a great family, and they made the day my best day ever! Captain Dan
It was just the three of us and Captain Tom. He catered the trip to our needs while giving us a nice historical recap of the area. We found him to be personable and knowledgeable. If you want a relaxing time on the water, Captain Tom is your guy
Our guide was EXCEPTIONALLY knowledgeable and gave us a GREAT tour. We learned so much and had a wonderful time.
Capt Elio was great. He showed us all so many spots, gave a beautiful boat ride (made sure to go super fast when possible to keep kid happy), great sunset, tour of hot spots, bridge, all the popular dolphin hangouts with music and commentary of the history of ST Augustine. If we had longer, we would have gone again, just for the ride alone. Thank you Capt.
Captain Elio is awesome! I know he had a great time with everyone and hopes to see you guys again! Captain Dan
Highly recommend this tour for a relaxing view of St. Augustine along with some history. Captain Dan was funny and insightful. We had a three month old with us and he provided an infant lifevest.
Maclaren, I had fun with your great family and the new Captain to be! Thank you for the very nice review and I hope to see you next time! Captain Dan
