Gasparilla Boat Tours

"The Gasparilla "Critter" Boat Tour was fantastic! The boat captain did a great job spotting wildlife and bringing the boat close to it for optimal viewing and photographs. We saw dolphins, eagles, ospreys, anhingas, white pelicans, and a manatee. The scenery was beautiful and the boat was very comfortable."

"I have been to Stump Pass many times but I loved all the information Gasparillo Boat Tours shared with us. Great personalities! My grandsons were on board and the captain was super accommodating, I look forward to going again when my granddaughters are here in a few weeks."

"What a fun experience. We did not know exactly what to expect. It was all lovely. Plenty of time to walk the beach shelling, looking for sharks teeth, talking to others on the sandbar, and simply enjoying the beauty of this location. Our Captain Justin and First Mate Kristina were first class. Kristina was a wealth of knowledge about all the flora and fauna. Justin gave us a very pleasant ride. We appreciated them always giving us a heads up as we were about to cross other boaters’ wakes. Hope to return soon and will recommend to all our friends. Thanks!"

"Captain Justen and First Mate Kristina were great! We were in town and had heard the area of Gasparilla/Boca Grande was the place to see so we decided that a boat tour would be the way to go. We had a great time in the tour. It was a little chilly but we had sweatshirts on and of course, despite their best efforts - they don’t control the weather. They were friendly, informative, helpful and made the experience very enjoyable. We did their “critter and dolphin” tour and saw both critters and dolphins (as advertised) throughout the 2 hour tour. We had many dolphin sightings and a few came right up to the boat next to us, which was pretty cool. Many other critters, such as various sea birds and others checked the box of “critters” as well. The area in and around Gasparilla Island is very cool with crystal clear water in varying shades of blue that was well worth our trip. Highly recommend them if you are interested in a boat tour. They also run sunset cruises, which we wished we had the time to do, but maybe next time we’re down this way."
