If you’re coming to the Space Coast during the months of bioluminescence, you MUST go on this tour with Captain CJ! It was one of those things we will remember forever. Our kids (a very busy 7 year old and a very chill 10 year old) can’t stop talking about it. Captain CJ made them junior captains, told us the FUNNIEST stories, and taught us an abundant amount of information about the geography, history, and science of the area. The bioluminescence was stunning! It blew us away to see fish of all sizes (even a very large, round mystery fish) darting through the water, creating streams of radiant blue. Crew member Carter got a workout with buckets and buckets of water that made the water dance and let us experience the bioluminescence interactively. I cannot thank Captain CJ and Carter enough for such a magical experience. We would do this 1000 more times if possible. (Pro tip - before our trip I talked to Captain CJ on the phone and he recommended long sleeves. We came with long sleeves, long pants, and heavy duty bug spray. We didn’t look pretty, but we stayed protected.) Finally, we didn’t take a ton of photos because videos turned out better, but we stopped trying so we could just soak in the moment.
