Listed below are the different adventures to choose from. For more details on each – click on the "read more". We offer these outings from September through June. During the other months, July through August, the boat is moored in Steinhatchee to accommodate all of the scalloping charters scheduled through out the season. If you would like a sunset cruise during that time, we can make that happen at the mouth of the Steinhatchee River.

Rainbow River Eco Tour
Captain Nita offers a nice boat ride on the Rainbow River. The river starts at the Rainbow Springs attraction and then flows for six miles and converges with the Withlacoochee River. The fantastic thing about this river are the many shallow areas that plunge into deep springs, which are always crystal clear. If you choose to, Captain Nita can stop and you can snorkel at any of the springs down the river (the main spring is off-limits to boats).
