OUR NICHE IN A SATURATED BUSINESS
​
Scotty and Lena are the owners and operators of this business. We built this business $50 at a time while running our restaurant. Customer service and satisfaction is our number one priority.
We offer Private tours only. We never ever book strangers together on the same tour. because of this...
*We personalize each tour, meaning -
-if you want to stay dry, that's fine.
-If you want to snorkel, we'll provide the gear or bring your own
-if you want to free dive, Captain Scotty will teach you how
-have kids? Instructor Lena will teach them how to safely be comfortable in the water and snorkel with the fishies.
-having too much fun and don't want to leave? that's cool too, stay out as long as you want
We do not nickel and dime our customers. If you're on a rental adventure and you're having too much fun, don't worry about being back at a specific time. It's more important to us that you have a magical day on the water with your family or friends than to worry about what time it is. Have fun and come back when you're done. ​
​
We offer sunset options. We have found that we are one of the only companies on the bay that offers sunset adventures. Most companies are done renting by 3 or 4 pm so they can close up shop but since it's the two of us, we don't mind staying open later to offer evening options.
