About Jeffrey
“Hi, I’m Jeff—founder of Little Philly Sea Adventures and a guy who’s never too far from saltwater and sunshine. The ocean isn’t just my backyard—it’s my peace, my passion, and the place where life feels most alive. There’s something about the open water that brings people together, whether it’s families bonding over dolphins and donuts, friends exploring hidden sandbars, or solo adventurers soaking in the magic of a sunset cruise. Family is at the heart of everything I do. I’m lucky to share this dream with the people I love—my wife, my daughters, and even our boat-loving dog, Ocean (Head of Security, of course). Every trip we run is a chance to help others create the kinds of memories we treasure ourselves. And that’s what I love most—meeting new people every single day. Every handshake, every laugh, every story shared onboard becomes part of this growing family we’ve built on the water. Whether you’re visiting Anna Maria Island for the first time or a local looking for your next adventure, I’m here to make sure your time on the water is unforgettable. Come as strangers, leave as friends.”

Great experience! We rented a pontoon boat for my daughter’s birthday and everything was perfect. Jeff was very understanding when we were running late and made sure we still had our full time. Him and Enrique were both amazing. Highly recommend!

We had a great time, I would recommend Jeffery's operations and book with him again. We booked for 6 hours with option to have the boat longer if we could. 5 Stars.....

Jeff was great. Very responsive ahead of our booking and took extra time to explain everything about the boat and recommended a route and fun places to stop on the way. Our family had a fantastic time! Looking forward to renting again next year!

Jeff was fantastic and very accommodating. Took care of us and updated us as the weather changed. I will recommend anyone to come rent from Jeff.

Jeff was an INCREDIBLE owner! He was on top of everything to make our experience out on his boat memorable. We rented his boat for 6 hours and that was definitely the minimum that I would suggest. He had many amenities on the boat, which were included with the purchase price. Any questions we may have had, he responded very quickly. He made us feel like he wanted US to have a memorable and enjoyable time.
We saw a shark, stingrays, dolphins and much more on our excursion. HIGHLY recommend!

Amazing communication and Jeff was so very helpful. He spent extra time to make sure that my husband was comfortable with everything on the boat and helped us plan where to go for an unforgettable day! Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a solid company to rent a boat from Jeff and his company are the ones to deal with. Jeff went out of his way after a mix up on the boat setter website, Jeff made it right which is something he did not have to do. But I have a feeling he is about customer service and the customer first. We own a business back home and we try to put the customer first and that is exactly what Jeff did. Rent from Little Philly because you will not regret it.

We rented the pontoon for 4 adults and 2 kids and had an awesome day on the water! Jeff was so friendly and walked through all of the features and safety for the boat. We will definitely rent again next spring break!
