We had a wonderful time! Our captain, Christian, was excellent. We had a group from 2 yrs to 81 years old, and everyone had fun. We saw dolphins, touched a cannonball jellyfish, went to Shell Island, and enjoyed the boat ride. Christo was knowledgeable, friendly and very polite. We will definitely be back and will request Christo as our captain. The booking staff at Lagoon Pontoons was friendly and easy to work with. They answered all of our questions and even helped with suggestions for accommodating toddlers and senior citizens. 5 stars!!!
