Growing up as a third-generation St. Petersburg local, I spent my childhood on these waters, boating, teaching water sports, and falling in love with every hidden corner of Florida's Gulf coast. After adventures guiding rafting trips in Colorado and launching a jet ski company in New Zealand, I realized there's nowhere quite like home. That's why I came back to St. Pete and founded Florida Outdoor Adventures with one mission: to give every guest the best day of their life. My favorite places span the entire St. Pete experience, from laid-back beach bars where locals hang out to downtown's hidden speakeasies, from pristine barrier islands like Egmont Key to rooftop bars with stunning sunset views. I love taking guests to hole-in-the-wall seafood joints on St. Pete Beach where the fish was caught that morning, secret cocktail bars downtown where I know who makes the best espresso martini in the city, and untouched islands where you can snorkel with sea turtles and grill lunch right on the beach. These aren't fancy tourist traps, they're authentic, unforgettable experiences exactly where I take my own friends and family. What I enjoy most is sharing St. Petersburg the way locals actually experience it, whether that's hopping between the best beach bars with cold drinks and Gulf breezes, cruising by boat to hidden islands for snorkeling and beach adventures, or exploring downtown's vibrant nightlife scene from sunset cocktails to secret speakeasies. I customize every tour to match what you're craving, fresh seafood and live music, island exploration and wildlife encounters, or craft cocktails and insider nightlife access. With my family's three generations of knowledge and my years guiding adventures worldwide, I know how to create stress-free, all-inclusive experiences that feel less like a tour and more like exploring with a friend who knows all the best-kept secrets. Whether we're watching dolphins swim alongside the boat, discovering the perfect beach bar, or finding the city's hidden cocktail gems, you're getting authentic local expertise you can't find anywhere else. My goal is simple: inspire you to explore more, experience more, and live life to the fullest, starting with the best of what St. Pete has to offer, from beach to boat to downtown and beyond.
