Justin gave us an absolutely unforgettable experience! From swimming with dolphins and spotting sea turtles to diving for all kinds of amazing sea creatures, every moment was an adventure.
What made the trip even more special was how great he was with my son, Grayson. He took the time to teach my 13-year-old how to snorkel and dive for cool treasures and sea life, making him feel comfortable, confident, and excited the entire time. Seeing Grayson learn new skills and have so much fun was priceless.
Justin is knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and clearly loves what he does. If you’re looking for an incredible day on the water filled with wildlife, adventure, and memories that will last a lifetime, Justin is the one to call. We can’t recommend him enough!

Justin provided by far the best experience ever on a charter!! He displayed his experience under less than ideal water and wind conditions and provided a safe and awesome experience for all 3 generations on the trip. He even gave lessons on marine life and took excellent photos 😁. We saw dolphins, turtles, all kinds of other sea life to include conch and hungry sea gulls. He made sure the littles saw sand dollars as their special request. Snorkeling and swimming with wildlife was awesome 😎. His boat is well maintained and all equipment was provided to include kids life vests. The start time of the tour also contributed to an awesome and relaxing experience. At the end of the trip a sense of enjoyment and satisfaction was prevalent and I would definitely recommend this charter to anyone!!! We would definitely go again!!

If you are looking for a truly special time on the water, I highly recommend PCB Prestige Private Dolphin & Snorkel Tours! From the moment we stepped on board, you could tell this boat is beautiful, new, and incredibly comfortable. One thing I really loved was how easy it was to get on and off the boat, which made the whole experience even more relaxing and enjoyable.
Captain Justin was absolutely wonderful — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip feel personal and unforgettable. We saw dolphins, sea turtles, sand dollars, starfish, and discovered so many other amazing sea creatures along the way 🐬🐢⭐
There is just something special about being out on the water, taking in the beauty around you, and having a captain who truly wants you to enjoy every moment. This was one of those experiences that leaves you smiling long after it is over.
If you are visiting or even if you live here and want to experience our beautiful waters in a private and comfortable way, this is absolutely worth it!
Thank you,
