Mark is a bit of a character. He makes the stories interesting. He showed us the sights of Jupiter and shared stories of his and his family’s firsthand history and experiences. I admired his custom boat, it ran well and was quiet, it is in great condition, very clean and efficient. The boat it is not luxurious if that is what you are looking for. He navigated us expertly and smoothly around the area even with substantial boat traffic and wind. He told us he also delivers large yachts up and down the East coast for seasonal residents. You could see his experience when he docked us gently against the slip while others were having a hard time handling their boats in the wind. We watched another boat have a shipmate fall overboard on the first try getting into a slip. They finally got into a slip on the third try! While it was entertaining, the point is Mark knows how to handle his boat!

Super great! Just did this today as a last minute with my boyfriend, his sister, and a friend. Very fun and great way to see Jupiter! Price isn’t bad at all and our tour guide was super funny and showed us around. The guy and my boyfriend were talking about fishing and good spots. Will totally do this again with my friends from out of town. Highly recommend! Thank you for a great time😊

Captain Mark was great. As Im a local and had visitors in town, I signed up for one of the best experiences for my visitors, as he gave us a learning experience that I was unaware that happened in our great city of Jupiter/Stuart. Very knowledgeable and also a great character with tons of laughter that my visitors talk about to this day. Was a great COVID19 ride that was very clean.

Mark is a FANTASTIC captain. He is extremely knowledgeable and on the full day tour, showed us where all the big money celebs live or lived with some being Tiger Woods, Kid Rock & Olivia Newton John. He is extremely outgoing and easy to talk to and will do whatever you would like to do during your time on the boat. He makes fantastic recommendations for lunch, and will set up great pics for him to take of you and your family. I would highly recommend Mark and Flying Lady Boat Tours to anyone! You will not be disappointed! I am coming back next time I am in town.

We did the sunset loop. We had an amazing time. It exceeded our expectations. We live in Jupiter and still learned so much. The scenery was gorgeous. Mark was knowledgable, personable and professional. He was in contact the afternoon of the trip to discuss the weather. The entire process was easy and seamless.We will certainly use him again and have our visitors use him as well.

Mark is one of the most wholesome and knowledgeable people you will find. From the moment we connected on the phone to our first boat cruise, everything was amazing.He knows the area inside and out, keeps everyone on board laughing and even flagged down an ice cream boat for the kids (yes, such a thing exists). Best boat and tour operator in Jupiter!

We remembered Mark from another company he was a guide for. Hes now got his own boat, and hes doing an amazing job with very affordable tours on a beautiful boat. He heard our nieces were paddle boarding after our boat tour with him, and he was kind enough to not only keep an eye out for them but to text me some photos. This is a good good guy doing a great job. Book with Flying Lady for a great tour by a knowledgeable local!

A Flying Lady Boat Tour is a must when visiting the Jupiter, FL area. Captain Mark is very knowledgeable of the waterways has a great personality with nice conversations throughout the duration of trip. My fiancé and I took a private 2 hour Sunset Cruise of the Jupiter Inlet & Lighthouse. So many interesting stories, incredible views of wealthy waterfront homes (some celebrities), then seeing where some of the best waterfront restaurants and bars are. We come down for Spring Training every winter now that weve found Captain Mark and the Flying Lady well be back again for the other tours offered. Support local small business!

Mark was an excellent guide! My family and I had so much fun. I would definitely recommend this if you’re looking for something to do on vacation!

The guide was knowledgeable, personable, and even managed to retrieve my visor from the water when it blew off my head. I highly recommend this company!

We went on a number of tours with northern guests on the Manatee Queen, captained by Mark. we found him funny & knowledgeable about the area. When The Manatee Queen ceased operation we were disappointed. Happily we found that Captain Mark began Flying Lady Tours which we took last week.Just as enjoyable & far more intimate with a limit of six passengers. We highly recommend this experience & will be back.

Just a boat load of fun! Two adults and 1 child (who rode free!) so right off the bat the quality was there. Departed timely and had a really fun tour around the Jupiter inlet and Jupiter Island. Mark was funny and friendly, super knowledgeable about the area and big houses, and was great with our kiddo. We recommend this to anyone who wants to jaunt around and enjoy the area for a great price.Now Mark promised a relaxing ride and a tour of the island and the surrounding area on the Jupiter Island tour. He makes no promises about wildlife.#NoPromisesAboutSeeingWildlife and then immediately we saw a manatee! We slowed and Mark talked manatees for a bit, and we got some great video. We ventured forth and again, Mark made #NoPromisesAboutSeeingWildlife and then we immediately we saw 3 dolphins!!! We got some great photos and videos, they were right off the boat!! Then mark sped up a bit and the dolphins rode the wake, it was really cool. This was not an everyday occurrence and again, Mark made #NoPromisesAboutSeeingWildlife. We joked about seeing a sea turtle and investigated some sea grassy areas, but didnt see one. SoHalfway through the two hour tour our kiddo was getting a bit whiney and wanted to head home. Capt. Mark showed our kiddo how to steer and gave them a bit of an internship on what it means to be a tour captain.We continued on and saw some famous properties and got some history, learned of the local fishing and commercial captaining scene, heard a bit of a Jupiter news, and then we finished off with a Lighthouse photo.Thank you Mark, well call the next time were here!

Cant say enough about Captain Mark! He was very responsive to my inquiry about a birthday cruise for my mother and me. His rates are BY FAR the best in the area, and you get an incredible, two hour tour from a real local. The boat is beautiful, the ride was perfection. He is taking proper COVID precautions by only offering private cruises at this time, but is charging the *public* tour rates. I cant recommend this highly enough. We have lived in Jupiter for over 5 years but felt like tourists in our own town! We will definitely be booking another tour very soon.

A Flying Lady Tour is an absolute must when hosting guests/out of towners. Captain Mark is a terrific storyteller with a great sense of humor and wit. We saw a few manatees on our most recent cruise, highly recommend.

So OMG... This was a wonderful 2 hour tour with Captain Mark. He is so laid back but knowledgeable of Jupiter. We have been here exploring for 3 weeks and our tour of 2 hours could have saved us a lot of money! Thanks Cap!!

We come down to Florida to avoid the winter cold up north each year, with Covid, we knew that our options would be limited this year but we found Flying Lady Boat Tours through the guanabanas Instagram page and figured we’d give it a shot. We booked a 40 min inlet tour on a random Sunday afternoon. Captain Mark is the absolute best, so much so that we ended up booking a second trip with him, this time for the 2 hour sunset cruise. Both experiences were completely unique from each other and both experiences were incredible. The cruises were covid friendly as it was just us and Captain Mark, they were individualized to our interests (I love manatees my husband loves local Jupiter golf pros), and they were entertaining! Captain Mark is also full of some great local restaurant recommendations!

What an incredible day!!!! Nobody knows these waters like Captain Mark. He’s very funny and downright charming. I’ve known him since he was the captain of the Manatee Queen, and this experience is even better than that was. The Flying Lady, his own boat,, is beautiful and quite comfortable. He provides beverages, takes pictures, shows you the nooks and crannies along the waterway. He’s the ultimate host! I can’t say enough what a good time we had. I’ve been on his tours previously, but this this was his finest tour. It’s his own boat, and the service he provides is top notch. This time I had an out of town guest visit. I wanted him to experience the Jupiter I know and love. Mission accomplished. There’s no better way to fall in love with our South Florida paradise than to take a cruise on the Flying Lady. Captain Mark’s narration is hilarious. His local knowledge is impressive. He grew up on these waters and knows the local lore. Big thumbs up!

What an awesome time we had on the Flying Lady! The boat is beautiful — and unbelievably quiet! A romantic moonlit cruise! Capt. Mark is great — friendly, knowledgeable, and very proficient in boat handling. It was a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to do it again! Thank you Capt. Mark!!!

Capt Mark took us on a beautiful moonlit cruise. His local knowledge of the area and narrative of the famous residents makes for an interesting ride. We found the Flying Lady a refreshing change from the usual pontoon “cattle boats”! She is a charming, traditionally-styled vessel. We look forward to another cruise with Capt Mark and the “Flying Lady” in the near future!!Thanks again!!Bob Clark

I was pleased to finally locate our favorite boat tour guide, Capt. Mark, who was the capt on the Manatee Queen in Jupiter for yrs. He now has his own unique boat, shares his love of Jupiter history with many humorous stories, plus offers one of a kind tours that you wont find anywhere else. If you dont want to be on a boat full of people and would like a more private guide experience I highly recommend The Flying Lady. The boat has a newly added canopy if you prefer shade or you can sit in the sun.

The Flying Lady tour boat is by far the best I’ve been on! Captain Mark weaves the tales of old Florida with a fun, witty and charming way. Thoroughly enjoyable. I will continue to bring friends and family for years to come. This tour should be on your must do list when visiting Florida !

Captain Mark is the former captain of the Manatee Queen. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area, the famous residents and everything about boating! In this small setting, you can be comfortable, entertained and spoiled with your own “private” captain and cruise. Captain Mark is very accommodating and pleasant! Definitely a must when you are in Jupiter.

I took a tour on the Flying Lady in January and was very impressed! Captain Mark is the former captain of the Manatee Queen, and knows these waterways so well. His knowledge of Jupiter and its famous residents makes this tour so enjoyable. The boat is spacious for a small group, the seating is comfortable, and he knows how to make the trip so much fun! He is also installing a bimini top soon, so there will be plenty of shade for daytime trips. Having the luxury of being picked up from your dock, as well as other locations is so convenient. He also has great recommendations for local eateries that will not disappoint. If you are looking for something to do that offers personal attention to detail, you must give this tour a try!

If you want the hometown experience, the Flying Lady Boat Tours is where its at! Captain Marks charismatic personality and his knowledge of Jupiter history and residence is amazing. Ive lived here my whole life and still learned new things out on the water. And to top all that off beautiful vessel gets a 5 stars too! Ride in style down the intercoastal, youll leave feeling like a local.
