Allen is AMAZING! If you are looking for an intimate boat adventure tailored to whatever you want to do, Allen is the captain for you. He took us snorkeling, and willingly hopped in the water with our 13-year-old twins. He showed them the nuts and bolts of it and was so patient with them. He shared some history of the area with us which was just an added bonus as it is fascinating how time changes shorelines. While snorkeling he discovered and brought to the boat, not one, but two conch shells with surprise crabs in BOTH! We furthered our adventure on a quaint beach where we went shelling and walked along the sandy shore. The twins were eager to try knee boarding and had never tried this before. Allen was patient and explained everything thoroughly -both had successful rides and they LOVED it! We ended our boating adventure with some wicked tubing-he got them both off the tube....eventually! We are grateful for Allen's weather watching and flexibility too-per his recommendation we changed the day of our boating tour due to upcoming crummy weather. To put it simply, he is the BEST! Thanks for a GREAT time! The Linde Family -Northern Minnesota
