About Us
It’s not just another boat ride, it’s the thing to do in Cedar Key. At Tidewater Tours, we strive to make every tour a memorable experience.
Our Story
Tidewater Tours has been a Cedar Key staple for over 20 years! It all began in 2002 with Captain Doug Maple and now continues with Cyn Delee Dalton, a seasoned captain with extensive knowledge of Cedar Key history and geography.
Tidewater Tours has two Coast Guard Regulated boats ready for you to enjoy on our Coastal Tours. A 27-foot, extra wide Carolina Skiff with seating up to 10 passengers and a 32- foot Beach Cat with seating up to 30 passengers. Once aboard you may encounter dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, rays and various birds, depending on the season of the year.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful sunset tour or a fun-filled eco-adventure, Tidewater Tours offers an unforgettable way to experience the natural beauty and wildlife of Florida’s Gulf Coast. Come aboard and make memories that will last a lifetime!
