Our History
The Manatee Queen sightseeing tour boat has been providing scenic boat tours in Jupiter, FL since 1988. Purchased in October 2012 by DDMB Tours LLC, the new ownership has updated the vessel to make your time with us as enjoyable as possible. In 2018, Troy Lowry from Get Wet Watersports took over the operation, ensuring the Manatee Queen continues to thrive.
