We went on the private tour with Captain Broderick on this past Thursday (May 15th). We decided to use him because he is rated number one on trip adviser.....and we made the right decision. Best Boat : Clean boat, that is HEATED! I know that sounds funny "heated" in Florida, but it can get cold in the mornings and it... More

CAPT. Brodrick was over the top. From his interface with us to his repoir with the other operators you could readily see why he is the recognized as the #1 operator for these tours in King's Bay. Aside from his professional standing, he made a personal connection that was lasting and memorable. As a mariner myself I respected his title... More

We had two families traveling together to Crystal River (5 people total), and the private tour we had not only met our expectations but far exceeded them. Capt. Broderick was honest when we first booked in advising us that it was not the best time of the year for manatee viewing (late April) but that he would do his best... More

After doing alot of research about Manatee tours we opted to book with Capt. Broderick. We were very happy we did. The day we did our tour the air temp was chilly, in the upper 40's lower 50's. His boat with heated enclosure and changing area made this a wonderful experience for our family of 5 (three daughters 13, 12,... More

We (my husband, and my 6 and 10 year old girls) had a wonderful manatee adventure. It was a cold morning and it was wonderful to be in an enclosed boat with a heater and a place to change when we were all done. Captain Broderick had a great sense of humor and was very personable. Since it was chilly... More

We went for a private manatee tour with Captain Broderick at the end of February 2013. Even though it had been quite warm that week, we were able to find about 6 manatees to watch/ swim with. We had only four people on the boat (my husband, myself and two boys 8 and 11) and we had a blast with... More

We had an excellent adventure with Capt. Broderick. The swim with the manatees was amazing! Such beautiful gentle animals, they just went about their day unfazed by us or anyone else in the water. Family of five, 3 teenage boys, 17, 17, 15. Wife had a bit of apprehension going in (doesn't like cold water or big animals and not... More

The manatee tour was fantastic! Capt. Broderick is personable and has a great sense of humor. We went out on the tour slightly off season and were still able to find a few manatees to float with and pet and had a great time with the Capt. I would highly recommend the experience and Manatee Fun will only make an... More

Definitely something to experience if you're in Florida. Private tour was excellent. Went with a group of 6 ranging in age and size. No issue with getting a wetsuit for everyone and the enclosed boat even has a changing area so you can get in your dry clothing once your done swimming. Capt. Broderick goes above and beyond to ensure... More
