Scot was awesome! His butt was amazing and clean and bright stylish. He provided a little cooler with ice for us and showed us all around Sarasota. We went to Rick Carlton and had a few drinks and it was awesome!

Had an amazing boat day with Captain Scot! We took a trip to Midnight Pass annd South Lido and had a great time. The boat was spacious and super comfortable for our group of six, and the ride was really nice and smooth. We even got to see dolphins swimming super close to the boat, which was definitely a highlight! We were able to bring our own food and drinks, which made it feel extra relaxed and fun. Captain Scot was friendly, easygoing, and took photos of us so we could enjoy the moment without worrying about getting pictures. Such a great Sarasota experience — highly recommend!

Captain Scott is so nice and thoughtful! Our 5 month old baby enjoyed the whole boat time with us. He took care of our younger baby so good, he provided a baby seat as well. Boat is clean and comfortable and new, we would love to book it again!

Great day w/ Captain Scott. Boat was new and beautiful and very comfortable for 6 of us. Really convenient to leave from Marina Bay…great sites of Siesta Key and north to sandbars. 4 hours was perfect and never felt rushed.

Scot was AWESOME!!! Before we even booked he was easy to reach and went above and beyond to answers ALL my questions. He is just a genuine guy who enjoys boating and making people happy. While on the boat tour his knowledge of local owned homes along the lake and restaurants in the area is invaluable. The amount we learned about local industry was so cool. The drone pictures are a MUST HAVE! He takes some great shots and we are forever thankful for him. His choice in music is the best ever and each song was better than the last. The boat he uses for the tour looks like it came off the showroom floor, it is very clean and kept up. All in all don’t sleep on this one, book today. You will not find a better tour than his!!!
