Manatee Season

Manatee season officially runs during the cooler weather months from November 15th through Early April. However, we see manatees all year long! We recommend earlier morning tours for a better chance to see and swim with these gentle giants! Although we definitely have a reputation for finding manatees when others don't, please remember that we may be in charge of the fun, but Mother Nature is in charge of the manatees! Call for a free manatee report at 352-322-3722! Our most popular tour times for manatee tours are 7:30, 8:00, 11:00 & 11:30! Weekend afternoons are definitely more crowded and once again, early morning tours are recommended for Manatee Tours! View all of our tips for the optimum manatee tour.

Everything is Provided

Wetsuits are provided during colder weather! We furnish everything you need from masks, snorkels, swim noodles, lifevests, and your own designated Coast Guard-approved expert captain that will help guide you to the Ultimate Manatee Experience!

Best Experience

Located on the beautiful Homosassa River! More Manatees / Less Crowded! Nothing beats a day on the water with family and friends! Our tour times book up early! We recommend booking your tour in advance but do welcome last-minute callers and hope to have you aboard for the ultimate manatee experience! Manatees are much more abundant during the cooler months of the year and that's why being on one of our heated boats and having nice warm wetsuits makes for a fantastic experience for Manatee Magic! The water in the springs is 72 Degrees all year and feels fantastic!

Gentle Giants

Come enjoy all the beauty of these magnificent gentle giants and see why our customers say that this may be the neatest thing that they have ever done in their life! Homosassa is one of the only places in the world in which you are allowed to not only see but interact with Manatees and enjoy what many of our guests say is simply Manatee Magic! We take great pride in both educating our guests on how to have the ultimate Manatee experience while protecting these magnificent creatures! They are so loving and sociable that if you relax and listen to a little coaching, the Manatees may end up coming to you! We have had all ages from 2 years old to 92 years old aboard and have even had a few babies get rocked to sleep on our boat!

Our Boats

Choose the Perfect Boat

3 Boats to Choose From

Each boat can carry 6 guests per United States Coast Guard regulations. All boats are set up with all the gear you need for your adventure. Our boats are carefully cleaned for each trip and all meet U. S. Coast Guard regulations.
30ft Heated Pontoon with Onboard Restoom

Our 30ft heated Pontoon with an on-board restroom has so much room that it's like a party on the patio! This large heated boat has so much room for everyone to enjoy along with a great swim ladder that makes it easy for even someone with knee or hip problems to be able to get in and out of the water! This is our only boat that is wheelchair accessible and is also the perfect boat for small children and seniors that rides like a Cadillac across the smooth water of the Springs!
22ft Fun Chaser Fast Deck Boat

Our 22-foot Fun Chaser is the ultimate scalloping boat. It gets to the scallop grounds in half the time of other boats. It's a super comfortable boat that can cruise into the backwaters to seek our manatees in the narrow canals. We suggest this boat for year-around manatee viewing. It's great to view our resident manatees becuase we can drop the bimini to get under the Hall's River Bridge. Although this boat is not heated and doesn't have a restroom, it is a great deck boat and one of the nicest boats on the water! So if you don't mind wearing some warm clothes over your swimming suits and tinkling with the fish this may be the perfect adventure for you!
22ft Heated Manatee Oasis Luxury Pontoon

Our 22-Foot Deluxe Pontoon, the Manatee Oasis, is the perfect boat for all seasons. This boat can be heated during the winter months and open-air during the cooler months thanks to its optional isinglass. This boat has a Bimini top for shade which can be adjusted down to go under the Halls River Bridge. This boat can go where other boats can't. This boat can maneuver under the bridges for that cool backwater adventure!
