We hired Tortuga for our 10th anniversary. The boat tour was great! Brian & Christina were friendly and knowledgeable about the area and sea life. We were fortunate enough to see Dolphins and Manatees. We also saw many types of birds as well. They stopped for snorkeling and also stopped at a sandbar and Brian found a living sand dollar that he showed us. They made the day special for us! We would definitely recommend them and use them again!

Our family went on Tortuga boat tour for my husband’s milestone birthday and our first time on private boat tour. We had a very memorable and pleasant time. Weather was excellent. Both Brian and Christina were so accommodating and wonderful to talk to. Boat was very comfortable and pretty. Brian showed us beautiful homes around Sarasota bay and stopping by at sandbar after sunset was breathtaking. We all felt very safe on the tour and would highly recommend Tortuga boat tour for anyone visiting Sarasota!

We had such a fun and wonderful day on the water. They adapted to what we wanted to see & experience as well as making recommendations to fit us. Highly recommend as they have thought of everything including a beautiful boat & knowledgeable captains. On the water is the best!!!

This was the most amazing boat tour ever!!!! I have no words to describe how beautiful this day was!!!! What a great experience!!!! I've been on so many boat tours, I travel a lot, this however, was my absolute favorite! The captain & his "co pilot/sidekick!!!" were absolutely phenomenal!!!! When they say they can show show you things & find dolphins, they mean it!!!! I have never seen so much dolphin activity in 1 place!!!! What a blast!!! Lucky to have this experience!!!! I HIGHLY recommend this boat tour!!!!!

Brian and Christina were fabulous hosts for a sunset cruise! We were a group of 6 adults and there was plenty of space for us. We were staying on Siesta Key, so they suggested picking us up closer to our house instead of us driving 25 minutes to the normal meeting spot. They were very flexible with our itinerary and were great communicators as soon as we booked our trip. It was a memorable experience and we would definitely go again!

Captain Brian was very accommodating with our plan and made sure we were able to do all the things that we wanted. We booked a four hour tour directly through his website and he was very quick to communicate back. Priced right for the experience you get. He earned his tip, we were all very happy. He has several options to pick up and the launch was less than 10 minutes from our condo on Siesta Key Beach. He had plenty of waters and snacks for us. We brought some of our own adult beverages and he had room in his ice chest. We got to go shelling, saw manatees, and then he took us to get awesome pictures for the Instagram enthusiasts in the group. At the end we stopped at a sand bar and enjoyed a relaxing end with music, drinks, and saw some giant live conch’s.
