In his own words
Born and Raised on Tampa Bay Waters
Hi there, I'm Captain Allen, your local Gulfport boat tour guide at Allen's Aquatic Adventures. Born and raised in the Tampa Bay area, I grew up on these waters and cannot imagine life without the ocean! The smell of the salt air & sunscreen, the warmth of sun on your skin & the sound of the ocean waves make me feel at home.
I have always led an active lifestyle, so even when I was younger you could find me at the beach skimboarding, out on my grandparents' boat, outside skateboarding or riding my dirt bike. When I was 18, I bought my first boat which my friends and I were always out on wakeboarding and wakeskimming. Like any teenager, I was trying to figure out which direction to head after high school. I was working as a manager at a local health food store but something was missing. That's when my mom suggested I do what I love (thanks mom!) Fast-forward a few years of working really hard & learning what it takes to start up a business, and here I am today - owner of one of the best boat tour companies in Gulfport, FL!
You could say I have the best job in the world, and I wouldn't argue. After all, I get to meet wonderful people from all over the world & share what I love with them! It took a lot of hard work and determination, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
That's what Captain Allen boat tours are about: one captain, one boat and a day planned around the people aboard. All Allen's Aquatic Adventures boat tours are run by me, so if you're looking for captain guided boat tours Gulfport has to offer, you'll have the same guy at the wheel from the ramp to the last dolphin of the day.
The water between Gulfport, St. Pete Beach and Treasure Island is my backyard, and it's where I take guests out every day the weather allows.
I'm Captain Allen, and I look forward to sharing the beauty of Gulfport and Tampa Bay with you on your next boat tour!
