What if the weather is bad?
Safety is our number one concern. Here in Florida, weather can be unpredictable. As such, the captain or guide reserves the right to cancel a trip at the last minute due to weather conditions. Please see our cancellation policies for more information.
What time should we arrive?
Give yourself a little extra time to park—boarding begins 15 minutes before departure!
Do I need to print my ticket?
No, we are paperless. You will be checked in according to the name the booking was made under.
Do you have restrooms onboard?
- Yes, we do have a small restroom on board—think of it as a “just-in-case-you-can’t-hold-it-any-longer” situation. Due to the tiny holding tank, it’s best reserved for emergencies…so please go before you go!
Is the tour boat handicapped accessible?
We do our best to accommodate most special needs. There are two ramps to access the boat: one to the dock, and one to board the boat. Please see the details here.
Can I bring my service pet?
To ensure the comfort of all guests, we welcome only ADA registered service animals. Please see our policies here.
Where do we park?
Latitudes Tours guests can enjoy plenty of free parking in the sandy lot close to the marina.
How long is each tour?
Tours last approximately 2 hours.
Will we see dolphins and manatees on every tour?
There is a fabulous local crew of dolphins and manatees hanging around. However, they’re still wild animals. This means they do what they want, when they want. So while we hope they RSVP to your boat trip, we can’t guarantee they’ll show up.
How many passengers can you take on the boat?
Our tour boat has a seating capacity of 24.
How much are the tickets?
Ticket price is dependent on the departure time and meal options. Visit our tour page for more information.
Can we bring food and beverages?
You’re welcome to bring a small cooler with drinks (no glass, please), but leave the picnic at home—outside meals aren’t allowed. Drinks are also available on board, and lunch or dinner tours include one!
Are reservations required?
We recommend making reservations—tours tend to fill up quickly, especially during busy seasons!
Can I book the whole boat?
Absolutely—we love hosting groups! Whether it’s a celebration, reunion, or just a fun day out, you can reserve the entire boat for your event. Just give us a call to check availability and we’ll help you plan something unforgettable!
