Manatee & Eco River Tours

More than just a boat ride! Join us for a fun, educational experience Manatee & Eco River Tours is under new management!

Captain John & Kathy Cookman have renovated the 40 foot pontoon boat formerly known as Manatee Rover. Tours are available on Saturday's at 10am and Sunday's at 1pm until the weather turns cooler and the manatee's move in. Once that occurs, tours will be offered more frequently. All tours will depart from Sweetwater Landing Marina. Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure.

Thank you Stephanie Adolf from Germany for sharing this great video she took while on one of our manatee tours. This big guy was having fun with our anchor line.

We were on an Eco tour today coming out of the Franklin Lock heading west and enjoyed a few moments with a mother manatee and her calf. Water temperature was 77 degrees at the time of the observation. It won't be long!!!!

2/11/24-2/18/24 there will be no manatee tours offered due to a death in our family. The following week will depend on the water temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding estuaries as to whether or not we will be conducting manatee tours. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
