"We had a terrific time with Centaur Adventures today. As a family of 10 , with 5 kids under 8 yrs old, loved every minute with Captain Sully on the water. Got to see dolphins, manatees, and enjoyed the shell hunting. Thank you for a worth while experience. The Laws family"

"Our boat tour was such an amazing time. Rickey B was the best boat captain we could have gotten. He truly made the experience great. From seeing a lot of Dolphins to hitting a perfect Sandbar location. And the trip around the island. So amazing. Thank you so much."

"If I could give them 100 stars out of 5, I absolutely would! 🌊🐠 From the moment we arrived, Captain John made us feel like VIP guests on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Every detail was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for the ocean. The equipment was spotless and top-notch, and safety was clearly a priority — but what really blew me away was how knowledgeable and enthusiastic Captain John is. Captain John didn’t just take us snorkeling — He opened up an entirely new world beneath the waves. We swam among vibrant coral gardens, schools of tropical fish that shimmered like living rainbows, and even spotted a Dolphins gliding gracefully by. John shared fascinating facts about the marine life and local ecosystem, making the whole experience both magical and educational. His energy was contagious, his humor kept everyone smiling, and his love for the sea made this trip unforgettable. I’ve done snorkeling excursions in other parts of the world, but nothing compares to the level of care, fun, and sheer wonder this team delivers. If you’re visiting Bradenton, Florida or are near by town, and are even thinking about exploring the ocean — stop searching. Book with this company immediately. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned diver, captain John will make you fall in love with the sea all over again. I’m already planning my next trip with him. ⭐ 100 out of 5 stars — the absolute BEST snorkeling experience ever!"

"The company was extremely responsive and booking was so easy. Took a ride with my niece, teenage great niece and 88 year old mother. Captain John was amazing! He even let my mom drive-I haven’t seen her that happy in years. We snorkeled, swam and sightseed. It was a memorable day!"
