Seahorse Water Safaris

off season rental boat rates

10/03/08

This is the BEST way to see one of the most beautiful beaches in America. Visit Cape San Blas in the off-season grab a rental boat and spend all day on the water. We saw dolphins, a large Sea Turtle and found great shells.

Shark FIshing

09/28/08

Julie and Gary of Seahorse Water Safaris suggested a Shark FIshing Trip for my son's birthday. My son, Alex, 9 was the first to agree. The trip was 3 hours and we had a wonderful time. Catch several sharks, the most exciting was a 10 foot Tiger Shark. Great Time

Snorkel Trip - Customer Feedback

I booked my family on one of these trips in Aug. We had a wonderful time. The Island Queen is a great boat and Captain Gary is full of information about the Port St Joe area. My kids had a wonderful time playing in the water and bringing things up for the "show & tell" buckets. We got to see crabs, sand dollars, starfish, fish, stingrays and all kinds of shells. It was a really great experience that we would recommend to anyone with kids.

Fishing Trips - Customer Feedback

07/20/08

We went on the bottom fishing trip with the guys on 7/15 and then did the shark
trip on 7/17. One great boat and an even better crew. We caught plenty of big
red snapper, a grouper and a black snapper. On the shark trip we all pulled in
a shark each and got turns on the big poles pulling in 250+ pound nurse
sharks.....yeah, there was more than one of them! The guys are fantastic,
really good with the kids and they make it a memorable trip for everyone.
Captain Bill took a couple of our younger group members and gave them a turn at
the wheel as we were leaving port and Richard did a fantastic job explaining the
processes to everyone. Richard has truly never met a stranger and is about as
personable as you can get! We had a fantastic time and would recommend these
trips to anyone who have any interest in fishing. We will go out with Fishin
Express when we come back for vacation next year!

Tarpon Fishing - Customer Feedback

06/28/08

These trips were a blast. Seahorse gave us four great guides. We had a group of 8. (My wedding party) I am told that Tarpon are actually prehistoric animals, traveling the warm seas back as far as a million years ago. This somehow made catching or hooking up the Tarpon more interesting. The guides informed us that the challenge is to boat the Tarpon. That means actually get the silver giant to the boat for a picture. My experience at the first hook-up was the Tarpon ran out about 200 yards of my fishing line and leaped 2 twice about six feet out of the water before I could react. It was an experience I won't forgot. We had a great time trying to "boat" these fish, not all of us managed it but we had a wonderful time trying.

Rental Boat was Great!

05/30/08

We rented a boat from Seahorse Memorial Day weekend and it was just great. The staff's wonderful and the boat was clean and well maintained. They go over all the info with you before they send you out. How to drive the boat, maps of the area, safety features...everything. Their suggestions for shelling and snorkeling spots were great and saved us a bunch of time. A big thumbs up for them!
