Welcome to Captain
Mike’s Ultimate Manatee Swim Tour. This is our
VIP or
premier manatee swim tour and the fact is
that it's the only
one of its kind in the world. Come and join
us for the ultimate "swim with the manatee" experience
- one
you'll remember for a lifetime.
We observe and swim with the manatees from
our manatee-tour houseboat, specifically
customized for manatee and eco-tours on
Florida's Nature Coast. The boat offers comfortable
seating, an onboard restroom, changing room,
microwave & refrigerator as well as many
other features (more
about our dive boat...)
Manatees abound in our 72
degree (year around) spring fed waters. Get
close to these gentle creatures and they may
roll over and allow you to scratch their
belly (more
swim tour facts...)
You'll swim with the Manatees in comfort
during the summer in the Crystal River from
our air-conditioned boat. In the
winter, we turn on the heat to keep you warm
between manatee encounters in the Homosassa
River along the Nature Coast of West Central
Florida. In addition, there are fewer people
swimming with manatee in the Homosassa River
during the winter.
Although we use a houseboat, we want to
ensure your comfort and therefore only serve 2 to 6
swimmers onboard to ensure our manatee
swimming tours are
more personalized and friendly. Each Manatee
Tour lasts approximately 6 hours. Given the
amenities provided, a 2-person tour minimum
is required. (A minimum of 3 persons is
required during May-Oct).
Private Manatee Swim Tours for your group
can be arranged as well as other amenities
or services. Just contact Captain Mike at
1-352-628-3450 to make arrangements.
