Keeping our family entertained isn't always easy, but Captain Kyle made it effortless. He worked with us to create the perfect experience, making sure we enjoyed a bit of everything—from catching fish and collecting shells to cruising alongside dolphins and manatees. Kyle was incredibly sweet, patient, and always had a positive attitude, especially with our kids. We couldn't have asked for a better guide! A Sylvester2024-07-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Kyle is awesome. We had a great trip and lots of fun. He was also very helpful in assisting and educating our 13 and 9 year old kids. Both had very little fishing experience and he enjoyable for them as well as us adults. We are looking forward to our next trip with him. Martin Foerster2024-07-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We enjoyed a wonderful dolphin tour with captain Kyle.

Made our vacation such a memorable trip! We saw dolphin, shark and pelicans - caught lots of trout, snapper and snook including a tarpon! Kyle coached me through the process to ensure we didn’t lose the big dude on such a small hook! So much fun had by all; thank you Kyle! Karen Umbright2024-07-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Kyle took our family of 6 out for morning of fishing . We caught lots of fish and Kyle was very helpful, patient and knowledgeable. He even coached my daughter reeling in a 100 pound tarpon on a 30 pound Tess line! We all had a blast and brought home fish, pictures and lifelong memories. Thanks Kyle! We’ll be back! C H2024-06-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great trip! Captain Kyle is fantastic! Very knowledgeable about the area. We caught fish at every stop, everything from mangrove snapper(kept 13) to a dozen snook, countless little trout, a gag grouper, even sprinkled in a few Jack's and cats. Captain Kyle was very patient and kept a smile while we apparently were having a "who can get the most lines stuck in the mangroves" contest. We had such a great time on the first trip we booked another and added 3 tarpon and 3 little sharks to the different types of fish caught. You will have a blast with Captain Kyle.
