Captain Quinn’s Coastal Lagoon Tours

Captain Quinn was awesome. Went on the 2 hour tour and was amazing. With only a 6 person limit, the tour was very nice and we were able to enjoy the boat ride and move from side to side to see all the wildlife. We saw lots of birds and manatees, missed out on alligators though. We did have 4 or 5 dolphins ride along with the boat on the way back it, that was awesome. Captain Quinn is very respectful of the wildlife and nature around us. And he has a safe boat, he was getting a walk on surprise inspection just as we arrived.

Excellent time! Relaxing and informative and Quinn was a lot of fun. Highly recommend! !

A colleague and I had a few hours to kill… lets go fishing. Captain Quinn was great, we caught several fish, had a good boat ride, and would recommend for all ages.

This tour was awesome. We had 2 hours of relaxation. My party of 3 got to see trout, dolphins and manatees. Only a 1 hour drive east of Orlando. I would do this tour again any time I’m back in central Florida.

Amazing. Took my wife, 4 year old daughter, and my mom and dad. Everyone had a great time. We saw manatees, all types of birds, caught some fish, and saw some incredible dolphins. One of the highlights so far in my time down here in Florida.

Touring with Captain Quinn is like hanging out with a friend. We were lucky enough to see manatee and dolphins on our trip. A party of six, the pontoon was the perfect size. He even let the kids throw out a line to catch and release a little trout. Knowledgable and friendly!

Awesome! Quinn really delivered. I’ve been on similar tours in other places, and all were bigger boats that carried 30 – 40 people. This was more intimate. In the course of our trip, we saw dolphins, a mangrove island that was a bird rookery, and lots of manatees. Quinn was careful not to disturb the wildlife and was very knowledgeable about their habits. Once we stopped, the manatees’ natural curiosity took over and they came right up to the boat. We were able to observe them up close and laugh at their playful antics. Altogether an enjoyable experience and one I’d do again.

Captain Quinn rocks! He called a few days before our lagoon tour to let us know about a rocket launch from Canaveral. Luck was with us and our family got to see a spectacular Atlas Rocket launch. Plus he expertly guided us to dolphins and manatees plus helped identify interesting birds like roseate spoonbills and snowy egrets. Great service– our family strongly recommends Captain Quinn!

Captain Quinn’s tour was fabulous! He found us dolphins and manatees even though Manatees weren’t plentiful in the lagoon. Well done! I liked that his boat is smaller, so we had our own private experience. Captain Quinn was well informed and knew a lot about the area.

A friend told us about taking Capt Quinn’s tour recently, and I am so glad we listened! My family and I went on another Banana River tour last year, and we were SO disappointed. This tour was exactly OPPOSITE of that experience.
It was an Awesome tour. Manatee were so plentiful, and came up SO close. My six year old was enthralled. And the dolphins! There were so many of them! We even saw some gators, and got to disembark for a few minutes on a peaceful island out in the waterway.
To top it all off, Capt Quinn himself was great. Personable, knowledgeable, and engaging. We will be telling everyone we know what a great trip THIS one was.

We found Capt Quinn on a recommendation from another tour provider. It was a fortuitous meeting. Quinn is just a great guy. He is very knowledgable of the area, and it’s very evident he cares about the Banana River and the surrounding waters. Although the time of year we went was not very good for wildlife viewing, he still found the places where the dolphins, manatees, and gators could be found.
Quinn launches from Kelly Park just off of Hwy 528, but make sure you call first. He puts in his boat when the a tour is ready, so don’t expect to find a storefront or kiosk with his name on it.
My wife and I found the tour to be very educational, and we look forward to coming back some time to see Capt Quinn and the Banana River again.
