Hello, I'm Capt Allen.
Hi there, I'm Captain Allen, your local Gulfport boat tour guide at Allen's Aquatic Adventures. Born and raised in the Tampa Bay area, I grew up on these waters and cannot imagine life without the ocean! The smell of the salt air & sunscreen, the warmth of sun on your skin & the sound of the ocean waves make me feel at home. I have always led an active lifestyle, so even when I was younger you could find me at the beach skimboarding, out on my grandparents' boat, outside skateboarding or riding my dirt bike. When I was 18, I bought my first boat which my friends and I were always out on wakeboarding and wakeskimming. Like any teenager, I was trying to figure out which direction to head after high school. I was working as a manager at a local health food store but something was missing. That's when my mom suggested I do what I love (thanks mom!) Fast-forward a few years of working really hard & learning what it takes to start up a business, and here I am today - owner of one of the best boat tour companies in Gulfport, FL! You could say I have the best job in the world, and I wouldn't argue. After all, I get to meet wonderful people from all over the world & share what I love with them! It took a lot of hard work and determination, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm Captain Allen, and I look forward to sharing the beauty of Gulfport and Tampa Bay with you on your next boat tour!
