Meet the Captain

Hey friends, I’m Captain Marcelino, and welcome to my blog — where I share the real, unfiltered moments that make boating in St. Petersburg, Florida so special. Every day, I get to cruise the Gulf, explore hidden islands, and help families, friends, and travelers create unforgettable memories on the water.

As a licensed captain, I do more than just drive the boat — I plan each route around the weather and tides, prepare gear like paddleboards and snorkels, and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable from start to finish. Whether it’s adjusting the timing to catch the perfect sunset or slowing down so dolphins can swim alongside us, every detail matters.

Through these blog posts, photos, and short videos, you’ll see what goes into creating those picture-perfect days — from sunrise prep at the marina to laughter echoing over the waves. My goal is to give you a glimpse of the real boating life and the care it takes to make every trip personal and memorable.
