Capt. Ron's Awesome Everglades Adventures

If you're looking for ADVENTURE, you found the right place! I have been guiding waverunner adventures for over 32 years and in my spare time I volunteer as a first responder for hurricane SAR with my waverunners and airboat and have worked Katrina, Harvey, Irma, Florence and Michael . I invented the 1 hour waverunner tour in 1987 and eventually turned that into a 3 hour adventure! I always use new model and state-of-the art skis equipped with BRAKES and electronic shifting and Capt Ron's is the ONLY waverunner adventure that employs an underwater microphone so guests can actually here dolphin speaking underwater. I carry a full EMT medical kit including an AED device and am certified in CPR and First Aid. All adventures cover at least 35 miles and up to 50 miles and are covered by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. I know there are cheap tours available but they pale in comparison to a Capt Ron's adventure. If you want a real Waverunner adventure look no further!

We specialize in full day luxury private sailing charters deep into the 10,000 Islands.Our philosophy is to go softy. We hoist the sails as soon as we can. We want you to relax, unwind and enjoy the water sliding by and get a taste of cruising life. You can help crew the boat as much or as little as you like. Guests will see, hear and experience nature as intended in complete comfort with only the gurgle of water and gentle breezes across the very stable deck of our 34’ catamaran, TropicBird, as she slips through the pristine 10,000 Islands, where the western Everglades meet the Gulf of Mexico. Due to TropicBird’s exceptional shoal draft (just 18”) she can really reach the back waters. It’s a full day experience with an excellent lunch, wine, beer and all refreshments included.
