What Guests Say About Captain Allen
Review from Sally Burch: Captain Allen was a great host for our 4 hour adventure. We spent time snorkeling at Egmont Key and then off for some lessons to wake board. We also spent time tubing which was the kids' favorite! It was a perfect way for our family of 4 to spend a day on vacation. Thanks again!
A family of 4 on a 4 hour adventure.
Review from Erin Rosario: My daughter, her best friend and I did the water tubing with Allen’s Aquatic Adventures. Allen was super friendly and personable on our trip! We did the two-hour option and we could have definitely kept going. Allen even took time out to teach the girls about waterboarding. The girls had a really fun time and said they would definitely do it again!
Review from Kaitlyn Szmania: My husband and I had such a great experience with Allen's Aquatic Adventures!! Allen is so knowledgeable of the area and as a captain and guide. He ensured that we had the best time! He taught us the best areas to snorkel in and dove in himself to show us sea animals. His boat is great and the ride itself was so much fun! This was the best part of our trip! I highly recommend booking a trip with him!
Review from Olivia Madison: Allen was the absolute best! We had a party of 4 and he was nice, respectful and fun! We did tubing and wakeboarding and had a great boat ride. We definitely will be riding with Allen again!
Review from Amelia Levy: Allen was awesome!! He accommodated a large group of girls for a bachelorette trip with ease! 100% would boat with Allen again for any of our adventures 🐬🐠☀️
Review from Kris Melaragni: Capt Allen was AWESOME. We went snorkeling, tubing and looked for shells and sand dollars. We had an incredible, memorable experience that will be remembered forever. I highly recommend Capt Allen. He’s the best!
Review from Tara: My family and I took a 4-hour tour with Allen’s Aquatic Adventures on 8/18, and we had an amazing time! Captain Allen was so personable and made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun the entire trip. We loved that he let us pick the music to listen to and really personalized the experience to what our family wanted. He took us to a beautiful sandbar and island, we went snorkeling around an old fort, and even got to go tubing. It was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation. Next time, we’ll definitely book a 6-hour tour to enjoy even more of the experience!
Review from Payton Jones: Allen was an awesome captain. For my 24th birthday I wanted to go snorkeling, tubing, and wakeboarding. Allen helped me set up the perfect day out on the water and my entire group had the best time. Allen is a super great guy and took good care of me and the girls for my birthday!! He’s a great teacher that taught me how to finally get up on the wakeboard. He also made us feel very safe and accommodating on the boat. We will be renting with him again!!
Review from Myles Blake: We had an awesome day on the water with Captain Allen! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip feel relaxed and fun from start to finish. He took us to some beautiful spots around Florida, gave us plenty of time to snorkel in the water, and made sure everyone had a great time wakeboarding. Captain Allen was professional, safety-conscious, and knew all the best places to visit. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a fun, memorable day on the water, I highly recommend booking with Captain Allen. We’d absolutely do it again!
Review from Ramona MacIntyre: My family and I had an amazing time with Captain Allen! From our very first interaction, he was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, making us feel confident that we were in great hands. During our boat adventure, Captain Allen took the time to understand exactly what we were hoping to experience, and he delivered beyond our expectations. One of the highlights of the day was watching our daughters (ages 16 and 19) learn to wakeboard. Allen patiently coached them through every step, giving them the confidence they needed to get up and have an incredible time. His enthusiasm, patience, and genuine commitment to making sure everyone had fun made this an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend Allen's Aquatic Adventure to anyone looking for a fun, memorable day on the water. We'll definitely book with him again the next time we're in the area!
Review from Katherine Sorrentino: Allen was awesome. We took a group of 12 and 13 year old kids out for water sports, and Allen made the entire experience seamless and a lot of fun! From minute one he was communicative and helpful, and he had all of the equipment anyone could ever want. On the day of the charter, he had already provided all of the info we needed, but double checked everything for us. We felt 100% comfortable with him and the kids said he was a great teacher. He literally had a smile on his face all day and brought a fantastic attitude. We could not be more pleased and are already talking about booking again!
Review from Louis Rosatone: We are new to snorkeling and Captain Allen was very helpful and made our adventure very special.
Review from Hawley Rogers: Allan is the best! He was kind, fun, and a great captain. He fit everything we wanted in the time frame we booked without making us feel rushed. Honestly, I wish I had booked a full day! Will definitely call him next time we are in town.
Review from Debbie Hammond: Our group of five went on Allen's Aquatic Adventure in a private boat tour and everyone had a great time!!! The trip was well planned out and my family really enjoyed it!!! There was wakeboarding and tubing that we chose to do as our activities. You also have the option to go shelling or snorkeling. We even saw a few dolphins along the way. Allen was a great host/operator and we would most definitely do this tour again the next time we visit the area. Book this tour! It's worth it!!!
Review from Leslie Hildebrand: Fantastic day on the water! Learned a little history, saw some cool marine life, and had a fabulous time! Capt Allen is the best! We’ll definitely do this trip again!
