About Us
THE BOAT
We have recently updated to a newer and more comfortable boat, named "Lady Helma", an owner/operated 32 ft Sea Ray Sundancer power boat with all the amenities for a comfortable day on the water for up to 6 guests. Enjoy the extra large swim platform with boarding ladder and fresh water shower. Private head below deck. Music system. Shade or sun. Comfortable seating. Full safety equipment.
Captain Tom and his mate Helma
"Lady Helma" is owned and operated by Captain Tom who has over 25 years boating experience in Miami, holds a USCG captains license, and knows all the great spots to visit. You just sit back and relax while Tom shows you the incredible sights of Biscayne National Park.
Maximum 6 guests
The boats hold more then 6, but Tom's Coast Guard captain's license limits him to 6 guest plus crew.
