"Captain Matthew and in-water guide Jacob made our day in Kings Bay and Three Sisters Springs so enjoyable! Tonya was so kind and patient with me as I was coordinating our private charter. If you want a peaceful way to connect with the manatees and commune in nature, take a private charter, it makes a difference overall! We will certainly be back again! Thank you! Jo, Frank, and Katie."
