⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had the BEST experience with Captain Tyler during my best friend’s bachelorette weekend! He completely exceeded our expectations, he was so friendly, accommodating, and easygoing from start to finish. He even brought us a huge float to use all day, which made the day that much more fun! He made everything stress-free, was always happy to help, and fit right in with our group. We couldn’t have asked for a better captain. Thank you for helping make our weekend so memorable!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Captain Tyler was AMAZING from start to finish on my friend’s bachelorette trip! He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and was incredibly accommodating throughout the day.
He offered to bring a huge inflatable for all of us to enjoy which made the experience even more fun. We can’t recommend him enough for any of your boating needs!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dr Captain Tyler was amazing! Very kind, fun, easy going and helpful. Definitely felt safe during the excursion. He went the extra mile by bringing a sweet hangout float device for the group and even gave us his extra waters when our group ran out.
