Reviews
"Great educational boat excursion. This trip was recommended by a friend & did not disappoint! The Captain, Marine Biologist & Volunteer were all extremely informational & friendly. Who knew the Sarasota Bay is only 6’ deep…and the Roseate Spoonbill’s were magnificent. We also saw dolphins, learned about mangroves & were shown live specimen of fish, sponges, etc. brought up from the bay. Well worth every penny!!"
"There are choices in boat tours. This is by far my fave! Whether you are local or visiting, this is an excellent way to learn a bit about Sarasota history & a lot about the marine life here. It wasn't simply a boat ride to see dolphins, although we did that, too! A marine biologist was on board. We had Morgan. Captain Billy was at the helm."
"We went on your sunset cruise and it was wonderful. Beautiful ride looking at all the beautiful homes along the way. The sunset was spectacular and the crew on board were very accommodating. Good music also. I would definitely recommend this trip."
"SARASOTA BAY EXPLORERS BOAT TOURS MOTE AQUARIUM Magnificent research and science tour. Marine Biology. Biologist tour guide. A real experience of Sarasota Bay Marine Life. An amazing experience for all ages! This Tour Boat begins outside of Mote Aquarium. They have a fun filled 2 hour Voyage. Many scenic homes along the Bay. Scientific explanation of the Mangroves filtering the Bay Water. A grand experience viewing an Audubon Bird Nesting Island. The boat stops for a view and exploration of a public island among the Mangrove Islands in Sarasota Bay. They are a catch and release program. We got to view Seahorses, Anemones, Sponges, Fish, Crabs, etc. Educational experience for young and old."
"Amazing tour. Jill was amazing (sorry, no one after me will get her) she is moving on, but best wishes. We saw a whole bunch of cool stuff. I have never been on a boat tour where I was so informed. I got to see dolphins, manatees, seahorse, crabs, sea sponges, puffer fish, coconuts, and found some nice shells. The boat ride was smooth that day even though the wind was enough for wind surfing."
