From the moment we met at the dock, Sonny was an absolute legend. Friendly, professional, and full of the kind of local knowledge you can’t Google, he made the entire trip feel less like a tour and more like an adventure with a trusted friend. His boat was spotless, safe, and super comfy — you could tell he takes pride in what he does, and it shows in every detail.
Sonny had this rare energy that instantly made everyone feel welcome and at ease. He knew exactly where to go for the best views, the calmest waters, and even pointed out some dolphins and secret spots we’d never have found on our own. Every moment was magic — peaceful, scenic, and totally soul-refreshing.
Whether you’re new to boating or a seasoned saltwater junkie, you need to book with Sonny. He’s the real deal — the kind of guide who doesn’t just show you the water, he shows you the wonder.
Thank you, Sonny — for the memories, the vibes, and an experience I’ll never forget. I’ll absolutely...
Read moreWe had the BEST day boating with Captain Sonny. We chose the full day sand bar adventure (south). I would recommend a full day tour. The time goes by fast. Sonny was great with our time management and making sure we had just enough time at each stop, without feeling rushed. We kept him busy with baiting the hooks and taking off the many fish that we caught. We found shark teeth at Stump Pass and nice shells. The boys caught a few fish there. We all enjoyed exploring Stump Pass. We were happy to see around 8 dolphin throughout our boating adventure. A couple locals at the Gasparilla Sandbar showed the kids how to get on top of the railroad bridge, which made for an awesome picture. We made an extra stop to fish near a bride, which was well worth it. All 8 of us caught multiple fish. Sonny was great with kids!!! All in all, I would highly recommended Sonny’s Boat Tours. It’s an affordable day and we made the...
Read moreSonny was amazing! He is laid back but knowledgeable. We had such a wonderful time for a 7 hour tour. He was very attentive, great with my 2 kids and us 4 adults. He stopped so we could watch dolphins and he searched for us to see manatees. If you want relaxation not feeling rushed book with him. My kids snorkeled and we used the lily pad for some more relaxation. He showed us awesome marine life like huge conch shells with snails, hermit crab, even a star fish. He even helped us find tons of shark teeth and shells. So many great memories made. We can't even express how appreciative we are for Sonny making our day a blast while on vacation. We highly recommend him if you want a top tier boat experience at a...
