Wedding and Birthday

We were married on my new wife’s birthday and wanted a way to end this wonderful day. We called Captain Jack at about 10a.m. and found him in Tampa. He answered and met us at his boat in Bokeelia at 4:30!!! He brought along Captain Linda to help.  This was an amazing afternoon thanks to both Captains. Tours of the islands, with history, cocktails at Cabbage Key, and Dolphins following our boat. We couldn’t have wished for a better end to the perfect day! Don’t miss the chance to get out with either of these fine, experienced Captains….Great experience, wonderful people!!!!

Top 5 Boat Tours in Ft. Lauderdale on TripAdvisor!

I took my grandchildren there for a fun day and it was quite fantastic! It was the crew's enthusiasm and the water fights with approaching vessels that the kids went crazy over. Bring a napsack of water and snacks- it's expensive dockside.

The crew was fun and enthusiastic! My 4 year old had a blast shooting the "bad guy with the water canons" Highly recommended for young kids. Will go back soon!

We just finished our trip with Capitan Black Sparrow and his crew and had a blast. Our kids had an awesome time playing pirates and we enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommended for families with young kids.

This was our second time. The first time our son was 4 and was completely enthralled. This time he was 6 and enjoyed it on a different level. The crew is very engaging, and the trip is action packed.

This was a great experience from beginning to end. Our 2.5 yr old was so engaged and was one of his favorite parts of our vacation. The crew is very experienced with all ages. They even made it interesting for the parents!

#1 FLORIDA EVERGLADES AIRBOAT RIDE

The airboat was fun and it was exciting to see the wildlife! We saw an alligator, snapping turtle, and snake out in the water and the alligator and turtle came right up to our boat. Our guide, Captain Disco, also took the time to educate us on the Everglades!

I always wanted a ride on an air boat and it was a great experience...the company put on a good show and it was an enjoyable day.. nice staff and we saw crocodiles so everyone was happy...they have a cafe for quick eats and drinks, also an animal sanctuary!

We enjoyed the 30 min Airboat ride but also a visit to the reptile and wildlife area at the park. Captain Disco was friendly and informative. We got to see 2 gators. A good short tour and worthwhile experience when you are in the area.

Exceeded my expectations. We were lucky enough to see some alligators but even if we didn’t I still would’ve enjoyed the tour. Learning about the history, present and future plans for the Everglades was so interesting.

The trip was the perfect amount of time (30mins). We were able to see one alligator on our trip. The captain was knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. We also enjoyed the reptile zoo after the boat tour and were able to pet a baby alligator. Something different and fun to do for the whole family.

What an amazing adventure. I have been on many airboats in the Everglades but the adventure at night is very different. Saw many many gators. Guide was wonderful!

It's true you may not see wildlife depending on the time of day or the time of year but the boar ride itself is not only entertaining and pleasant overall the guides are very knowledgeable and informative. Don't go on a rainy or extremely hot day and I highly recommend the Gator Nights tours. The photo souvenirs are reasonably priced, staff is friendly, good food at the food truck, and the homes they have provided for unreturnable to the wild animals is sweet the caretakers love the like pets. Good for kids, ask about the annual pass for residents.

We were absolutely happy about our time at Sawgrass Recreation! Check in was easy, and Captain Lauderdale was fabulous! We saw 4 alligators and got a great education on the birds and other animals in the area. Well worth the price of a private tour!
