First off the boat is a 24 foot covered pontoon boat. In our beautiful Florida weather the boat is open most of the year with just the top covered and in some of our cooler or wetter days that do tend to pop up occasionally the boat can be enclosed.So if you like boating you will like the tours in the beautiful scenic area of the Withlacoochee river all year around. Picture of Boat> On a lazy, lazy day, can you think of anything better to do than cruise down a cool river? Captain Mike's Lazy River Cruises offers guided boat tours down the Withlacoochee River,Rainbow Springs River& Lake Rousseau.What better way is there to view great wildlife and great scenery than from a relaxing seat on a boat ride?The tours are from a covered pontoon boat with very plush seating.They leave from Stumpknocker's, a favorite local restaurant,so passengers can have dinner before or after their cruise.The rivers in Florida offer some of the best bird watching in the U.S.The River is much as it was when the Indians canoed it a hundredyears ago. There are many varieties of birds such as herons, egrets,hawks, and eagles,along with many other types of animals especially our ALLIGATORS.

On the tours it is possible to see many species of bird life as well as Alligators, Turtles, Otters, Deer, Wild Turkeys, Bobcats, Wild Boar, and Large Mouth Bass jumping out of the water. The Withlacoochee, Rainbow Springs rivers or Lake Rousseau are some of Florida's most outstanding waterways. BIRDWATCHING - Along the Withlacoochee or Rainbow Springs river or Lake Rousseau is a great way to see some of Florida's Beautiful birds. There are over 300 species of birds along these rivers throughout the year, Bald Eagles, Limpkin, Blue Herons, Night Herons, Osprey and many other species. We have large flocks of migratory birds that come to Florida every year. We also do walking tours into a 5000 acre Preserve to see some of the birds that may not be seen along the banks of the river such as the Eastern Towhee or the Florida Scrub Jay. SUNSET/MOONLIGHT- These trips are self explanatory, very scenic and very romantic. Bring a bottle of wine or soft drinks, sit back and relax on a peaceful sunset tour or one of the fabulous moonlit night tours. WEDDINGS-Capt. Mike Tracy is a Notary Public of Florida and performs the Weddings on the boat along the banks of the river.So if you are looking for some place a little different to say those special words to each other come and see Capt.Mike.
