Great Time!

Dave_H, May 2024

Captain Dave was great! Celebrated my husband’s birthday. Fun time! Captain Dave provided a history of the area.

The best time!

Joan_T, Apr 2024

It was a perfect afternoon and Capt. Dave made it even better. We can’t wait to do it again and meet real nice people

A must do experience!!!!

mary_m, Apr 2024

This is a must if you can. Everything was exactly as described. Captain Dave is so laid back, and informative. The pub stops were well selected. They were all friendly, and the gator bites delicious!! We definitely recommend this experience.

Fun change of pace

Sandy_S, Mar 2024

We drove down from Orlando to Winter Haven. It was nice to get away from the sprawl of Orlando. On our travels, we visited multiple places on the water. We sampled gator bites, oysters on the half-shell, crab cakes, and boiled peanuts. It was a fun change of pace and gave us a local experience that you don't get in Orlando. We would love to return and explore the area further.

Fun on the water

April_C, Mar 2024

We had a great time! Capt. Dave is very knowledgeable about the area and we learned some cool history while enjoying the water and local flair. Highly recommend!

Do this!

Frank_O, Mar 2024

Great experience. Personable people and very much made sure that the crawl was OUR experience. We went on the later crawl. It was Chilly so do the early one.

Awesome experience!

Allison_S, Mar 2024

Dave took our party of 8 out on a pub tour. We had the 7:30 pm time slot and couldn’t have asked for a better night! We loved going to the pubs and meeting the locals. Dave was an awesome host who kept everyone entertained with his jokes and knowledge of the area. I would highly recommend booking a tour! You definitely won’t be disappointed!

Fun evening Pub Crawl Cruise

Lisa_P, Mar 2024

Capt'n Dave is your cruise boat guide and you will definitely enjoy this nice pub crawling cruise about. We visited 5 establishments and had a great experience overall. Each place has its own unique vibe too. We did small plates and bites at a few and drinks at all. Dave is very easy going and accomodating. Don't miss this fun opportunity to cruise these small lakes and canals.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

That was a fun night thanks and hope to see you again.

Amazing

Pontoon Pub Crawl

Barb_N, Feb 2024

Captain Dave provided some interesting facts about the area. He was a skilled driver who knew a lot of people in the places that we visited. The sunset was amazing.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thanks Barb. It was great to meet you.

Best evening of our Vacation!!!

Ben_G, Jan 2024

We had the absolute best evening of our vacation on the pontoon pub crawl with Dave! Dave has so much interesting knowledge about the Water Haven lakes area and its history! Enjoy the beautiful sunset, while relaxing with a few drinks and great conversation at the local watering holes (and they have Busch Light!). We met so many warm and welcoming people and felt like we were old friends! Thanks for everything, Dave! We will definitely be back!!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

So excited to hear you enjoyed all we have to offer..even the Busch Light. Ha ha. looking forward to seeing you again.

Pub crawl success

Stephanie_D, Aug 2023

Sam was super cool, knowledgeable & partied with us a bit. He was lit! lol A great time was had by all.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Sam is a cheerful soul and always has fun with the crowd. He is also one of my safest drivers. Glad you had fun.

Nice relaxing getaway

Brandon_S, Jul 2023

Nice relaxing ride on the lakes. Bars were very friendly and had nice drink specials. We did appetizers at a few bars and weren’t disappointed in any of the food at all! Our captain was very knowledgeable on the lake, food suggestions and wildlife on the lake. Would definitely recommend!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thanks so much for the Review. Captain Jared is one of my best. Glad you had fun.

There is no better way to pub crawl

Lindsey_H, May 2023

This was such a fun thing to do while in Florida. We had Captain Dave as our guide and he was a blast. Each of the bars were unique and being able to take the time to cruse the lakes in between stops made for the perfect easy going evening.

Response from Host, May 2023

That was a perfect night

Boat Trip

Pat_E, Apr 2023

The weather was nice and I enjoyed that there were bands playing at most of the stops. The stops are close together and most of your time is spent at the bars/dining spots rather than on the water. Overall good way to spend an afternoon.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

On all tours we always offer the group to spend more time in the boat if requested. All bars and restaurants offer drinks to go and food can be ordered to go if people would like to spend more time in the boat. The 3 hours of this trip can be customized per groups desires.

DON'T THINK ABOUT IT... JUST DO IT!!!

Chris_B, Apr 2023

OUTSTANDING TIME! Would have provided some great photos but the website failed to accept! PHENOMENAL TIME!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Awesome review thank you

Great tour!

Robin_P, Mar 2023

We had a great time. Unique way to visit bars and restaurants on the chain of lakes The crew was fun and customized the tour to our requests. Ask for Captain Dave!

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thanks Robin, That was a fun night.

We had a drink upon...

Deana_B, Mar 2023

We had a drink upon showing up! Highly recommend comping early and eating at the restaurant as food takes a while.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

It was a busy night as spring break is upon us. There is always the option to order by phone before we get to each location so food is ready upon arrival.

It was a fun night!...

Mary_S, Feb 2023

It was a fun night! Captain Dave was great!! The boat ride was great. Captain Dave pointed out a few alligators along the way! I recommend this trip if you want a fun night!

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thanks for the kind words. It was perfect weather as well
