    Corey and Chad were awesome! They were both so friendly and made us feel welcome. We got to see Dolphins up close and it was amazing. Definitely recommend!

    Had an amazing experience here at Siesta Key Watersports! Ty save Brett are the best so if you get them, consider yourself lucky. I went with my best friend and it was our first time parasailing so we were nervous! But the boat ride out to the location was about 30 minutes and it was BEAUTIFUL! They played some great music and we had some good conversation. There happened to be no one else around that time so it was just by friends and I on the boat, which was really nice! Both Brett and Ty are extremely professional and you can tell they've been doing this a long time and they know their stuff. The wind was crazy the day we went so they adjusted our location, accordingly, to give us the best ride. They were entertaining, fun, and took pictures and videos with us. I would definitely recommend this location over the others that are available. We paid extra for the go pro footage, which you just get the SD card to take home and transfer. Nothing but good things! The experience was scary but most of all, just fun 🥰

    Definitely a great place to go jet skiing! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they go above and beyond to make sure you know everything you need to have a great time. Highly recommend! Edit: we liked them so much, we came back for the sunset dolphin cruise! Dan and Brandon were fantastic hosts and we would recommend this company to anyone who wants to have a good time while seeing dolphins and a picture perfect sunset view.

    Wonderful morning cruise. Saw dolphins and wildlife on this wonderful adventure. Captain Chad and assistant Cori did a great job of keeping us informed and answering questions. Would recommend this to all ages.

    Had a great time with these guys when we were in Sarasota a week ago. Can't remember the name of the young man and the young lady that took us out but they were fantastic. Very safety conscious winds were really high that day so they were cautious to put us in a different location where we didn't see so much wind. There was a single rider and she didn't weigh enough to go by herself based on the captain's decision which I thought was save. So my wife actually got to go for two rides. Thought the price was just a bit high even at the 8:30 one which was only $99 but for six of us it was $700 plus a $20 tip and I would have tipped more but $700 for 45 minutes of fun. But it's vacation and you only live once and they did do a fantastic job.

    I booked this tour for my boyfriend’s birthday trip to Florida and we had such a great time! We saw one dolphin and one manatee. We spent the full two hours on the boat just cruising around and listening to our hosts. Dan and Mikey were wonderful hosts and plus, the complimentary drinks were great. I would recommend this tour to anyone coming down to Florida!

    We did the sunset cruise. I would give 10 stars if I could! Lieutenant Dan and Corey were fantastic!! The $55, off-season, price includes drinks (beer, wine, seltzers, water, or sodas). The boat was very clean and clearly well maintained. They had a wonderful music selection playing. Dan was very funny and knowledgeable about the area. Once Corey spotted some dolphins Lieutenant Dan headed that way. We stopped there for at least 15 minutes taking lots of videos and pictures before moving on to catch the sunset. Of course the sunset was beautiful, even on a very cloudy day. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS 2 HOUR SUNSET CRUISE. And plan on doing it again next time we're on the island.

    Had a great trip with Mike and Greg (maybe Craig, been a few days 😂). They were friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable! They were super attentive to all the different groups. We didn’t see any dolphins, but did get a beautiful sunset and got to see some impressive houses. My dad was very happy, as he doesn’t have sea legs and was able to walk around very easily on the boat.

    Great crew overall! Ty and Brett did a great job at takes about it to the open water. Parasailing was amazing! I did it with my 2 boys and they loved it! We even saw some stingrays from up above. Great view and experience. The rest of the crew was also very nice! Thank you! Highly recommend doing this!!!

    This was our second time with Siesta Key Watersports for the sunset tour, the first time was in Feb 2023. By far the best company and your I’ve been on, and I’ve trialed multiple other local competitors over the last 6 years. We lucked out and had Cory (sorry if spelling is off!) and Chad for the second time, and we were so excited they were our crew again. Personable, fun, knowledgeable, and just good people. We saw multiple dolphins and it was a wonderful family experience. We look forward to trying the morning dolphin cruise and the sandbar cruise in future trips. Thank you, Cory and Chad! See you next time!

    We had a great time.Staff was great. The only issue was in order to get out to where you can open up and have fun you need more time than an hour. Everywhere we rode said speed limit was 25 and or no wake- manatee area. The boys wanted to get to the fun but we ran out of time. It takes more than 25 minutes to get passed that area we were told you could open it up, but we never found it and had to turn back due to time. The boys did have a little Fun even with the 25 speed limit. The machinery was nice. We were able to see many beautiful homes and some cool wildlife.They we’re also very accommodating with some Bad weather the day before. I would highly recommend booking the 2 hours so you have time to go further and open it up as the boys say. 😜 Enjoy!

    Our family of 5 had a blast on the Dolphins, Drinks & Sandbar boat ride. We saw dolphins and got to learn more about the area and the water. The sandbar was fun to experience-we swam, saw more dolphins, and held live sand dollars before safely returning them to their natural habitats. Chad and Corey were a lot of fun and very knowledgeable about the area, the water, and the animals that live there. All five of us give five stars and highly recommend choosing Siesta Key Watersports!

    A must do for the price! We went on the dolphin/sand bar tour and it was a great time. Chad and Corey were so personable and friendly! We got to see dolphins during the boat ride and while we were swimming at the sandbar. A unique tour and experience. 5/5!

    Awesome experience! We went out with Corey & Chad and they were so fun. We saw multiple dolphins up close and had a blast wading out on the sandbar. We saw sand dollars, sea urchins, and creatures. The length of the trip was ideal, and the alcohol service was a nice bonus. Thanks so much guys!

    What a great experience on the Sunset Cruise with LT. Dan & Mickey. We spotted many dolphins and he stopped so we can see them! Also the story telling of the houses we were passing was great! What a great experience. I would definitely go again!

    We had the very best experience with Greg and Brandon this morning. I was extremely amazed at the equipment they use to hoist us up. It was sooo smooth. We didn’t even realize we were moving at first!! Once up there it’s so quiet and peaceful. Bringing us back down was smooth as well. The boat was awesome also. The safety equipment in place is beyond amazing. We WILL go again when we come back!!!

    Ty and Brandon were amazing, professional and informative. We have 8 children and finding something they all love and want to do is challenging. Everyone from the 8 to the 18 year olds loved it. We would definitely go again. It was wonderful to be on the water. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting a fun memorable experience. I would request to have Ty and Brandon to guarantee a wonderful adventure.

  • 5/5 Meghan D. 11 months ago on Google
    What a wonderful night on the water! Lieutenant Dan was very funny and knowledgeable and Mikey was great too. We saw dolphins and a gorgeous sunset. I would definitely recommend this business to all looking for a nice night out. My husband got the pics of the dolphins….I was too busy staring at them lol

  • 5/5 David M. 10 months ago on Google
    We had a great time. We hoped to see some dolphins and we did. Also seen various birds and even a manatee. The houses by the water were also beautiful. Chad and Cory were excellent guides. I think I got there names Wright. We would definitely recommend Siesta Key Watersports.

    Last minute booking on a national holiday. They were busy, I made a mistake in when booking our reservation. The reception ladies understood and made everything right. We then went to get our rides and were met with amazing guys who explained all the rules and manage all the people that they were working with. An amazing experience from beginning to end. Will definitely return

    We had our family of 7 and every single one of us thoroughly enjoyed the ride! The music selection, for me, was top notch. We saw dolphins and as a nice surprise, we saw a whole gaggle of manatees too! The mimosas were good and the beverage selection was just right. Cory and Chad are great crew people. Highly recommend this excursion. My 6 year old granddaughter had a blast because she was able to move about the boat freely. A very nice day and experience all the way around. Thanks so much for a memorable time!

    An awesome experience! The captain and his assistant Mike were very friendly and very knowledgeable about the surroundings. The atmosphere, the music and the view were outstanding. I will definitely do it again. So worth it!! I will recommend this tour to whoever comes to visit Sarasota.

    Enjoyed the AM Dolphin tour! The crew, Captain Lt. Dan and Chris were great sharing information on dolphins, the local water ways and real estate. Recommend this tour

    This dolphin tour was great! We found a bunch of dolphins and spent time at the sandbar which was so awesome! Even saw a shark 🦈 Chad and Corey were great and Chad has the best playlist! I would definitely do this again.

    Lovely float through the channel if the Tampa Harbor. Saw many dolphins, saw a variety of water birds at the rookery, a beautiful sunset and many magnificent ocean front homes. The waterfront homes were especially beautiful all lighted up on our return following sunset. Chad and Anna were helpful and informative. Dress warm for the nighttime ocean breezes.
