The Itinerary in Detail
The tour typically lasts between 3 to 6 hours, with options available in the morning or afternoon, depending on your schedule. Once aboard the state-of-the-art AXIS A22, you’ll start with a safety briefing and equipment overview. The captain might ask about your comfort level and preferences, then customize the pace accordingly.
The watersports themselves often include wake surfing, which is surprisingly accessible and addictive.

The Equipment and Comfort
All necessary gear—wakeboards, wake surf boards, water tubes, and bodyboards—are included. The boat also comes with a cooler and ice, so you can keep drinks cold throughout your adventure. It’s worth noting that while food and drinks are not provided, bringing snacks and beverages makes the experience more comfortable, especially during a longer session.

Expect to see shimmering shoreline, possibly some local wildlife like dolphins (though not guaranteed), and the clear blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
