Hi,
I am Captain Erika and you are invited to come aboard "The Anhinga Spirit." Trips are custom designed to your specifications: e.g., family outings, special occasions, fishing, gifts, bird watching, picnics, photography, fund raising, environmental education or just plain relaxing. You are welcome to bring food, ice chests, fishing gear, pets, wheelchairs, etc. I am licensed by the United States Coast Guard with 30 years of experience on the Ocklawaha and Silver Rivers. Also, I am a 4th generation native of this area. The Ocklawaha River is one of the oldest rivers in Florida. All trips are conducted at a slow safe speed, preserving the river banks and the calm sanctuary of this narrow winding Outstanding Florida Water. My 24-foot pontoon boat has all the required safety equipment plus a canopy top that offers sun and some limited rain protection. And yes, even a "porta-potty" with a privacy curtain! Seating is limited to six passengers. Under 6 years of age must wear PFD's. Lets go!
Sincerely,
Captain Erika Ritter
