About Us

Meet Our Crew!

Captain Dave is a Florida native who has grown up fishing and boating the waters we tour. He has a passion for all things Tampa Bay. In 2016, Capt. Dave and his wife Nancy were inspired to start Latitudes Tours while on a vacation boat excursion; they knew they wanted to share their passion for wildlife and the Ruskin area with others.

First mate Nancy will delight you with her extensive knowledge – it’s a one-of-a-kind guided tour. You’ll see and hear about the unique marine life and animals of Florida’s Gulf Coast while learning a bit of history along the way!

We are all dedicated to providing our guests with memorable tour experiences no matter the experience. Try our kayak tours, fishing, or our popular daily river eco-tours, where you’ll have a chance to see manatees, dolphins, and the abundant beauty and wildlife the Tampa Bay Estuary offers. Try our relaxing lunch cruise, a dinner sunset cruise, or book your very own private charter for weddings, birthdays, and more.

Latitudes Tours is Consistently Rated 5 Stars on Google, Trip Advisor, Yelp, BBB, and Facebook!

Wonderful for locals with visitors

Captain Dave met us at the Marina as a favor while they had a cancellation and not a full boat he took us anyways. That meant a lot to our family since they were flying out the next day. It was a beautiful quiet experience and he was so knowledgeable. This was our third time using latitudes and will continue to use them.
