We had a delightful and very interesting trip with Cap'n Rick and Buddy. Not only did we see a multitude of native species, but Rick is also very knowledgeable about the local area. It was well worth the trip!!

Captain Tick is knowledgeable and informative. We learned a lot about Yankeetown as well as a variety of local animals.

This was a wonderful tour to take. Very inexpensive and well worth the two hour boat Eco tour. My husband and I take pictures of wildlife so our purpose for the tour was to travel the Withlacoochee River and take pictures of the wildlife. We were not disappointed. The added bonus was the narrative given by Captain Rick. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and identified a lot of the plants and foliage for us. I highly recommend this tour for anyone to take if you are in the area.

We ate at the Blackriver restaurant in Yankeetown and noticed Captain Rick’s tour boat. We decided, that since we were taking care of our grandson the following Saturday, to take the tour. It was well worth the time and expense. Captain Rick, and his dog, Buddy, made for an enjoyable experience on the Withlacoochee River. Captain Rick is very knowledgeable about the history of area and life along the river during the phosphate boom. He’s also very familiar with the aquatic life and the many birds that call the area home. We plan on taking another tour in different seasons to see the changes nature makes.

When company from out of town visit a great tour to take. We never get sick of going on the river ourselves, it's always different. Rick the captain is wonderful, super informative about the history of the river. His first mate Buddy is another added pleasure. Thanks for a great day Rick.
