Mark was great, very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He was able to answer all my questions and worked out a solution that was great for my needs. This is second year we have used Crysten's AMI Biat Tours and I am sure there will be many more years to come.

As a local family on Anna Maria Island this was one of the best boat tours on Anna Maria Island we’ve done. We went out during Christmas break and had an amazing time cruising the local waters.
The boat tour captain was awesome—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced with Anna Maria Island boating and local waterways. Even as locals, we loved stopping by The BridgeTender and The Shore—two of our favorite waterfront spots that are perfect to visit by boat.
If you’re searching for a boat tour, private boat charter, or sightseeing cruise near Anna Maria Island, this is a top-notch experience. Great for locals, families, and visitors alike. We’ll definitely be doing this boat tour again and highly recommend it! 🌴🚤🎄

Booked a birthday sunset cruise for just the fiance and myself. Captain Lane was great. We saw dolphins within 5 minutes of departure. The captain was able to get them to swim right behind us in our wake. We saw a great sunset before heading in. Thank you, Captain Lane for a great evening!

Such an awesome boat tour! Captain Jeremy was super nice and made the trip really fun. The best part was seeing dolphins swimming and even following the boat—such a cool experience! Everything felt safe, easy, and relaxing. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great time on the water.

We had an amazing 3-hour pontoon boat tour with Captain Jeremy through Crysten’s AMI Boat Tours! The experience was perfect for our family and full of unforgettable moments.
We started with a stop at Egmont Key, where we collected beautiful seashells, explored the historic Battery McIntosh, saw the Egmont Lighthouse, and even spotted a gopher tortoise. We also took a quick dip in the ocean to cool off before heading out again.
Next, Captain Jeremy took us to a peaceful sandbar in Tampa Bay, where we swam together as a family, found sand dollars, snails, and watched fish swim by in the clear, shallow water.
On our way back, we were lucky enough to see a couple of dolphins swimming nearby and watched pelicans diving for fish near the docks — the perfect ending to a relaxing and fun-filled day.
Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting the area — it’s a great mix of nature, history, and time to just unwind on the water. Thanks again, Captain Jeremy!

Captian Lane was amazing!!! He was so great with our kids and even taught them out to use the paddle board! Which they loved! He took us to some great spots to look for shells and sand dollars. We had a great haul of shells. He did amazing getting photos of us for our memories and it was a blast learning about the area…he had so much knowledge of the island and gave us some great recommendations for dinner spots and ice cream. We also saw a lot of dolphins which he always stopped to let us enjoy!! We had the best time and we will 100% book with him for our next vacation here. The kids said this was the best part of our trip!
