River Safaris & Gulf Charters Inc

They did an awesome job! Everyone was super friendly. We got to see manatees on the way out to the preservation area and I even got to pet one of the manatees. Very exciting I would do it again!

Awesome company. Clean and very well maintained boats. Excellent and helpful staff. Would definitely use again

This was the second time we went on airboat ride in this area. Last time was the best. We had a really good captain who told us a lot about the area and nature. This time we had captain Bob and not that good. He hardley talked and we felt dissapointed from our 2013 ride. Everyone that worked here was very friendly and the place was very clean. However not coming back here. We are going to find a more informative captain. Captain Bob said he never sees much Dolphins or alligators. We saw many when we came with the other captain. My recommendation would be to try some place else. Very dissapointed.
If you rent a boat or pontoon I think it is totally different because you control it. We were on an airboat and if the captain doesn’t talk, all It is, is a fast boat ride. Monkey island explained it self, really cute monkeys. Captain Bob was too busy working in his shed when we got there and it seems he was just trying to fit us and the other 8 people in, then get back to his work in the shed.
Everyone else who worked there was very nice and the place was very clean. Just ask for a different captain and ask if you will see any other animals besides the monkeys.

We went for a swim with the Manatees. What a first class experience! Captain Pete was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He got us right up to the animals and was very careful to explain the do’s and dont’s. A great family experience.
Next time we’d do an air boat ride. Looks like a lot of fun.
We had lunch afterward at the Coyote Café (back of the rental shop) and had some gourmet sandwiches. Would go back to just eat.
Next to the rental place were a glass studio and a pottery studio. Neat way to spend a day.

Customer service makes or breaks so much. Carolyn at the front desk was super… enthusiastic and informative. Actually all of the employees were great. The pontoon boat we rented was so clean and well kept. We will be back!!!

The cleanest place I’ve been on the river. Excellent service and friendliest people in town. They love what they do.
Boats are a little slow but everything was great.

Great people to deal with. We rent pontoon boats from them when we have group trips to Homosassa. They are very nice and accommodating. If you rent a boat, get the propeller insurance ($ 10). I know the river very well. Well enough to find rocks in places I’ve never seen before! They were the nicest of all the people in the area whom we inquired about boat rentals. There is a deli located in the same building now & you can call in your order & pick it up at the dock!
