Captain Bill Quick was an excellent guide and ensured everyone was safe and well informed about the history of the area. He was also very spirited and funny! We had a great time!
We rented two boats for a family get together. Jeff our guide on what we termed the “ over 50 adult” boat was very knowledgeable of the area and actually a lot of fun. We all enjoyed him and the boat. The younger adults had a fun guide and too. I believe his name was Tyler ! He was also knowledgeable of the area. We may book again in a month to or so.
We had a great experience with Riptide Watersports rentals. We rented chairs and umbrellas for 4 days. They were there when we got to the beach. Everyone in our group agreed it was so much easier going to the beach and not having to worry about chairs and umbrellas. I will definitely do this again
Kyle was our tour guide and he was very attentive and helpful. He explained how to drive the boat and how to stay safe. We had so much fun doing this tour! It was an awesome experience and I’m so glad we did it!
Highly recommend using Riptide for your umbrella and chair rentals while vacationing on Amelia Island! Our chairs and umbrellas were set up in front of our unit every morning and we didn’t have to deal with lugging sandy equipment back and forth to the beach each day. The customer service is great, and there is a cancellation policy by phone or email within 24 hours if weather or plans change.
Excellent service. Chairs and umbrella were perfectly placed each morning before 8am. Equipment is showing some age but no issues with it.
We took the Craig Cat Tour. Your camera will be in a box to keep it dry. You won't get many photos but you will get wet and have a great time! Captain Bill was very clear with instructions on how to operate the boat safely. He stopped several times to point out interesting landmarks. Took time to watch the dolphins. Had a blast driving our own vessel. Sunblock before you go. Leave a towel and dry clothes in your car for after! Such a beautiful area to see. We recommend the Craig Cats (two seaters) and Captain Bill.
We did the CraigCat Boat Tour from Fernandina Beach, Kyle is so informative and really wanted to make sure we had the best day on the water.Bring a bathing suit, water shoes and sunscreen, you will get wet but it's refreshing.
Had three friends in town and i set two tours with Riptide. Day one was kayaking with guide Kyle at Alimacani. It was a great trip and Kyle has so much knowledge about the flora and fauna of the area. Day two was riding the Craig cats with Captain Bill. What a blast! He also has a wealth of local knowledge. Video of a manatee drinking water after Craig cat tour. Photo of holding a sea urchin on kayaking tour. Both tours are highly recommended.
This is the second time we have gone on one of the tours. First time was on the Craig cats, fun time. This trip we went on a morning boat tour with Captain Jeff. Did not disappoint we see several wildlife, alligators, wild horses, of course dolphins, and wild hogs.... Captain Jeff was very informative made are tour a great time. Also booked the beach chairs and umbrellas. Was delivered directly to the beach all set up and ready for us to enjoy, the late they came and picked them back up. I highly recommend Riptide. Great company to have a great time.
