    Captain Ron emerges as the clear standout here, earning praise from guests for his knowledge, engaging personality, and uncanny ability to find manatees even outside peak season. Multiple reviewers mention he's called "the manatee whisperer" for good reason. The tours offer excellent variety, from swimming with manatees to scalloping adventures that consistently yield impressive catches. Guests appreciate thoughtful touches like heated boats, provided gear, and bottled water, plus the team's flexibility with rescheduling when weather doesn't cooperate. The experiences feel intimate and well-paced. Several guests noted ending up on smaller groups or private tours, which meant more personalized attention and less crowded wildlife encounters. The captains strike a good balance between guiding guests to the best spots and respecting the animals' space, letting interactions unfold naturally. Whether you're looking to collect gallons of scallops or get nose boops from curious manatees, the crew clearly knows where to go and how to make it memorable.

    My family and I went out with Captain Ron today, and we had the best day! We caught so many scallops and even got to see wildlife, including dolphins 🤩. It was an unforgettable experience, and Captain Ron made everything so enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and memorable day on the water!
