"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!

Beautiful boat and fantastic Captain! Captain Andrew Sully Sullivan was wonderful! His communication ahead of time was so appreciated and his knowledge of the island. He was extremely personable and catered to exactly what we wanted . Highly recommend this boat tour company and Capt Sully!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"My kids had so much fun!! They literally didn’t stop talking about the things we found at the sandbar. Captain Sully got in the water with them & found sand dollars, crabs & taught them about the area around."

"Aye aye captain sully. What you get when you get sully. It's a experience a day that makes you see what is outside our own personal world . I recommend a sand bar .. I've been on those boat rides where the captain just sits in the boat and texts or whatever. Captain Sully jumps right in the water with you and helps you explore and helps you find things that you would never have seen before or you just missed.. He's very knowledgeable about the gulf waters and what is in it. I've went on two adventures with him and every single time he sees something he Sparks up like no other so you know he loves loves loves his job and what he does.. when you're cruising around he knows where the dolphins are. Some might say he's a dolphin whisperer. If you ask him, he may even teach you the call. Make sure you have your phones out on record when you do that. FYI.. but seriously, if you want a captain with personality, the love of the water, the respect of the boat and just somebody who you're like. Man. I want to call this man my friend. This is your man you have to get captain sully."

"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"

"We had so much fun exploring the waters around Longboat Key and Bradenton! Dolphins were out as well as Manatees. The captain was gracious and we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sights from the water."

"We had a blast. Captain Sully was very knowledgeable and accommodating to my elderly father. We will be back next year"

"We cannot say enough great things about Centaur Adventures and Captain Jon!! We had the best day adventuring into areas we have never seen before. The kids (and adults) enjoyed the snorkeling and found so many great shells! If you are at all thinking about booking a tour, DO IT! Our only regret is that we only booked a 4 hour tour. Next time we plan to do an entire day!"
