Captain Roger’s Boat Tours

Captain Roger’s Boat Tours runs private custom tours out of the Sebastian Inlet area, using a twenty four foot pontoon boat that is limited to just six passengers, a small enough group size that the tour can genuinely be tailored to what the people on board actually want to see. That combination, a stable pontoon boat and a small passenger cap, makes this a good fit for families with young kids, older visitors who want a comfortable ride, or anyone who prefers a private outing over being grouped onto a larger tour boat with strangers.

The tours cover both the Indian River Lagoon and the St. Sebastian River, giving passengers a look at two different ecosystems within a single outing, from the open water and grass flats of the lagoon to the narrower, more sheltered stretches of the river. Dolphin sightings are a regular part of the experience along this stretch of water, and the operator’s own description of the tours highlights wildlife viewing as a central part of what passengers can expect to see, alongside the birds, manatees, and other marine life that call this section of the lagoon system home.

Business directory records show Captain Roger’s Boat Tours has been operating for roughly eleven years, which in a business built almost entirely on repeat customers and word of mouth referrals suggests a level of consistency that keeps people coming back or recommending the tour to friends and family visiting the area. Because the boat only carries six passengers, availability on any given day can be limited, so booking ahead rather than showing up hoping for an open spot is the more reliable approach.

The business is based at 8685 US Highway 1, right in the Sebastian Inlet area where the marina activity and boat traffic make it easy to find once you know the address, and the location puts passengers close to the inlet itself before heading out onto the open lagoon. For visitors who want a guided introduction to the Indian River Lagoon without renting their own boat or joining a large group tour, a private pontoon outing like this offers a more personal way to see the water.

Given the private, small group format, this tour tends to work well for special occasions, out of town guests who want to see the natural side of Sebastian, or anyone who simply wants a quieter, more flexible outing than a scheduled group cruise allows. Calling ahead to check availability and confirm current pricing is recommended before planning a visit, since a six passenger boat operating on a custom, private tour basis does not run on a fixed public schedule the way a larger sightseeing boat might.
