Adventure Vacations

Boat and Kayak

Our boat and kayak tours include the luxury of a power boat to travel into the islands and adventure of getting in a kayak (optional) plus sightseeing more than you can imagine. All trips include a US Coast Guard Captain, boat gas, life jackets and inflatable kayaks. Your Captain will tell you about the islands, history and geology of the area. Trips depart at variable times based upon the group. We go out with a minimum of 4 people and maximum of 6 per boat; we match groups together to make the group sizes work.

You bring your snacks, food and beverages; we'll provide you an amazing time!
