I only wish we'd met Captain Octavio on our first visit to the island. He was thoroughly entertaining and we enjoyed every minute. Our trip started across from Coquina Beach on the... More

The kids loved him... More

Captain Octavio provides a fun, relaxed sail and has a great sense of humor! The sail was worth every penny and the sunset was the icing on the cake. I would highly recommend sailing with Octavio while in Anna Maria!

Sailing with Captain Octavio for sunset was a blast! He was fun and made sure we all had a good time. I HIGHLY recommend this while in Anna Maria!
