As we start working our way back to normalcy, we are grateful for the news we've received so far from friends, family, and neighbors. All things considered, we have a lot to be thankful for. Now it's time to get back and help our community recover and rebuild. Again, thanks all for staying in touch; Robert Frederick Greg Deeg Troy Sorensen and Lisa Burge for your updates!

10/09/2024

Thank you for all the messages, prayers, and acts of kindness. Our family feels humbled and grateful as we wait for Hurricane Milton to make landfall in our area. It will be bad, no doubt. We hope to be back in business at some point in the future, but for now we just wait in a safe location until we are able to return home and start rebuilding. Blessings all!

A good friend used to say "A boat is all I've got to give"

We all want to help, but not all of us know how, yet everyone needs a relief every once in a while. To keep things simple, here's the deal: go to our website, purchase a gift card of $100 or more, and we will give you a 90 minute dolphin & bay tour for you and 5 other people (6 people max). You may also choose to gift the boat ride to residents or volunteers so they can get a much needed relief.

***100% OF YOUR GIFT CARD VALUE will be donated to local relief efforts and we will gladly provide evidence upon request***

So yes, a boat is all we've got to give. If you have other ideas or needs to put our boat to good use and help AMI & LBK relief efforts, please contact us.

To purchase a gift card, please go to:
www.bay2baytoursami.com and click on "Book Now"

Also, if anyone needs a water taxi to/from AMI or LBK, call (941) 545-3058 or just go to Annie's where there are several captains eager to help.

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we would like to send a shout out to everyone who has stepped up to help residents and business owners in many different ways. You know who you are and we THANK YOU! A special thanks to the boating community, fishing and tour guides, who have worked incessantly shuttling people & supplies from different points on mainland to Anna Maria Island and Long Boat Key. There is much to do in the months ahead, but as a community and with God's blessing, we will be back better and stronger.
