Island Boat Lines

A long way from home. The boat had engine troubles, no doubt a disease of boats nationally has spread from cruise lines to river boats. Food was fine. Guests were given a free cruise and food with limitations. My limitation is I live in NYS and may not be able to comply with terms. In reality, I am old enough and ugly enough to weather a bit of setbacks. The owner very pleasant. Mechanical things happen. I think the offer reasonable from the business standpoint. It cost a lot of money to keep a boat afloat. A bit of bad luck. The several crew aboard were friendly - even memorable in their good nature. I think I will chaulk up the mishap as just that and remember it for what it was - a nice evening out close to shore among a loverly bunch of people, both crew and guests.

We got to see things we would never have been able to see otherwise, and our tour guide was interesting and very knowledgeable.

Great

Our group of 10 seniors was met with enthusiasm by our captain and driver. the trip was very informative and all characters human and animal played their role with gusto. We were treated to birds, manatee, dolphins and one very scimpy male bathing suit. (I missed that picture-darn). The day was one of the best we have had this winter.

First time on the river cruise. We enjoyed it , although it was cold and windy . You need heftier blankets. Bob, the tour guide was very informative. We did not see many manatee due to the cold weather, but the dolphins put on a great show. Lots of birds, and we even saw a river otter. We also had some entertainment from residents on rhe shore. An enjoyable trip, worth the money.

Have taken this trip before and always enjoy the comments of the tour guide. Disappointing when te manatee and dolphins don't cooperate but after all it is their home.

Everytime we take the tour we just love it. Some of the tour guides are better than others. This being said, on one or two of our tours the tour guide told us a lot about the houses along the tour. Giving us some history of the houses; in addition, of course, pointing out very clearly all about the wildlife, birds, etc. This past time not once were the houses mentioned. The whole trip is always great but in our point of view we'd like to hear a little more about the houses. Thank you for another great tour.

Very informative. Lots of Eco info

Previous neighbors were in town visiting for a few days. We are senior citizens and wanted something easy and yet informative that befits the area. We began our adventure with a nice leisure lunch at the Sunset Grill while seated in the open-air patio area overlooking the water way before the tour. The seafood and lunch was outstanding. We then took the 2:00 PM Eco Tour (2-hours). It was a beautiful day, the scenery was wonderful and the guides were knowledgeable and provided lots of humor to go with the narration. Addionally, we saw many different species of birds,... small and large; experienced many dolphins at play right next to our boat; saw several manatees, and learned many new facts about the estuary that we had not previously known. The plants and trees were varied and numerous and we learned of their importance to the fragile ecological balance of the area. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it to all ages.

Had one of the best times possible on the water. Everything was peaceful and the captain and "crew" were polite and very knowledgeable. Even the wild life was cooperative. There were several pods of dolphins at play all around the pontoon, and the manatees were having fun. The view from the boat was great. Just wish we could have gone up a couple of the channels to look at a few more of the homes on the water. Would reommend this trip to anyone who likes the water and would like to see more of the area. Ready to go again, as soon as we can find a few more to go along.

This was a great way to spend a couple of hours and see some of the local sights as well as wildlife. The guide was well informed and used humor when appropriate. We saw many native water birds as well as Manatees and a large group of Dolphins. The boat stayed put during the Manatee and Dolphin encounters so we could watch these animals for quite some time. Fun and educational! If you're in Cocoa Beach you should put this one on your list.

We so enjoyed our guide and captain. Learned a lot and were delighted to see all the manatees and dolphins. Just a great trip.

took my mother for mothers day she loved it is a nice trip and the food was good the staff was also great take this trip you will like it

Was the second time I've taken the tour and, as before, it was with out-of-town guests. I enjoyed it as much the second time as I did the first, and my friends thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I'm sure I'll be back with more out-of -towners!

we really enjoyed the trip and they were very informative and enjoyed seeing all the animals
