Great experience! We saw several dolphins and sea turtles! We chose Crumps Landing as part of our dinner cruise and the food was delicious. Captain Rod was great and we’ll definitely do it again. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Best. Day. Ever!!!! Captain Rod was so thorough and incredibly patient with my kids (6yo and 4yo). But what I love most about the experience was the love and respect Captain Rod has for the manatees. GREAT experience and we can’t wait to do it again!

We had the most amazing time with Captain Rod! He knew exactly where to take us to find manatees, was extremely knowledgeable about the manatees and ensured we had the best tour/encounter! We will be booking again!

First-time scalloping for some and a second go for others! Captain Rod guided us to fantastic spots, providing all the gear we needed—more comfortable than what I have at home! As the weather turned against us later in the day, it was a relief to be inside the boat for the rainy ...

We had a fantastic time scalloping and managed to collect some scallops. One of the best features of the boat is its covered setup with couches on both sides. When a storm suddenly blew in, we moved inside and enjoyed an early lunch before quickly returning to scalloping once the...
