The Crystal River coastal waters are home to the largest population of manatees on the west coast of Florida. Great numbers of these gentle giants seek the warm-water springs, rivers and other waterways for sanctuary from the colder Gulf of Mexico waters.

About Manatees

About Manatees

Manatees can be found in shallow, slow-moving rivers, estuaries, bays, canals and coastal areas of Citrus County and Crystal River. Manatees are a migratory species.

Within the United States, manatees are concentrated in Florida in the winter, but they can be found in summer months as far west as Texas and as far north as Virginia. However, these sightings are rare.

Summer sightings in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina are common. West Indian Manatees can also be found in the coastal and inland waterways of Central America and along the northern coast of South America, although distribution in these areas may be spotty.

The Florida Manatee is directly related to the West Indian manatee. They are also related to the West African manatee, the Amazonian manatee, the dugong, and to the Steller’s sea cow, which were all hunted to extinction by 1768. Continue Reading →

Kind Words From Our Customers

We loved our afternoon with (Captains) Greg and Fred! We saw lots of manatees and they were very helpful and knowledgeable. This was our second trip with this company and we highly recommend them. They took us to places away from the crowds and got us lunch when we were hungry. Definitely enjoyed the tour!

– Rebecca P.

A sincere thank you for making special arrangements for our group. Everyone had a great time and the kids had a blast. The pictures we took turned out fantastic and we plan to do it again in a few years. Thank YOU!

– Andreas W.

We had a wonderful time. The kids keep talking about the manatees and made us promise to come back again sometime. A big thank you to all of you!

– Ann M.

Just letting you know that our family really enjoyed the tour. We’re so glad we went with you and we hope we come back to Crystal River again soon!

– Paul A.

Our family had a wonderful time swimming among these gentle giants. Captain Greg was great! We appreciated that it was just our family of 4 on a spacious pontoon boat, as opposed to other tour companies that were crammed w/ 10-12 people.
