Great day on the water being able to drive your own Hydro cat, and seeing the sights and wildlife of the intercoastal waterway!

What a great day! The guides were ready with bags for our personal items and rain jackets if we wanted to protect us from the splashes. But the weather was beautiful, the water was refreshing, the views along the way were amazing. Just a wonderful way to see Sarasota from the water!! The stop at Lido Key gave a nice break and it was nice to return a different route to see more amazing homes. Thank you K & K!

Katie and Kara were exceptional! This experience exceeded our expectations. My 14 and 16 year old boys loved driving the hydro cats and we loved the scenery. We even saw a stingray jump out of the water! Great memories were made. Thank you!

My family LOVED this experience. We were a mixed generation group but everyone enjoyed the thrill of the speed boats. The stop at Lido beach was nice too. The kids saw hermit crabs, jelly fish, fish and a starfish. The guides were very friendly and accommodating. My parents were first timers and didn’t know how to swim so they would circle back and check on them periodically while we cruised around on the water.
