Local, Family-Owned and Operated
Levique Tours is a family-owned company based in Madeira Beach, launching right by John’s Pass on Florida’s Gulf Coast. We started with one goal: make it ridiculously easy to have a great day on the water—whether you’re here for a tiki boat tour, a pontoon island day to Egmont Key or Shell Key, a sunset cruise, or rentals that actually feel organized and well-run.
About Levique Tours
Our difference is simple: the boats are fun, the routes are dialed, and the captains don’t just “drive”—they host. Locals, travelers, families, bachelorettes, birthdays, and work outings all end up here for the same reason: it’s the easiest “best decision” of the trip.
What We Do
Captained Tiki Boat Tours for private groups and select public options
• Pontoon Tours to Egmont Key (ruins + island exploring) and Shell Key (shelling + preserve shoreline)
• Sunset Tours on tiki or pontoon (with “sandbar before sunset” timing when available)
• Rentals: kayaks, paddle boards, scooters, and bicycles for exploring the barrier islands
• VIP Done-For-You add-ons that turn your tour into a fully hosted setup (for the people who don’t want to do errands in flip-flops)
Where We Launch
We have two meeting points in Madeira Beach. Your confirmation email will tell you exactly where to meet—either near John’s Pass or at our north Madeira Beach check-in.
Meet the Captains
If you’ve been on a Levique tour, chances are you’ve heard someone say, “Ask for our captain again next time.” Our captains have been with us since the early days—and guests request them by name because they’re knowledgeable, calm under pressure, and genuinely fun to be around.
Want a specific captain? Add it in your booking notes and we’ll do our best to match schedules.

Whether you're looking for serenity on the water or fun in the sun, we hope you found it here at Levique!
"I had a GREAT time!"
Captain Bob is our resident salty sailor—retired Navy, Madeira Beach through and through, and basically a walking storybook of local history and misadventures. He’s the captain who can point at a stretch of water and tell you what’s about to happen before you notice it.
Guests describe him as the lovable, opinionated great-uncle type: equal parts dad jokes, unexpected one-liners, and “wait…what did he just say?” humor (best enjoyed with the right crowd). If you want classic Florida character, local knowledge, and nonstop laughs, request Bob.
Captain Kohlton is the human definition of “golden retriever energy”—in the most elite way. He’s upbeat, ridiculously kind, and will do everything in his power to be exactly what your group needs…times ten. If your goal is pure fun, Kohlton delivers.
He’s also the unofficial content king: Kohlton takes great photos and videos, and groups love leaving with a recap that actually looks good (not the blurry proof-of-life kind). Perfect for bachelorettes, birthdays, and anyone who wants their day on the water documented properly.

Captain Joe
Captain Justin
Captain Joe is what happens when Florida energy meets serious water experience. With 12+ years in the U.S. Coast Guard, he’s the guy who always knows what the water is doing—so your group can relax while he keeps the day smooth, safe, and stress-free.
He also proudly identifies as “Florida Man” (the good kind) and calls himself the “best bad influence your parents warned you about.” Translation: he’ll match your vibe, bring the energy, and—if the moment is right—may break into song. If your group wants a captain who can host a great time and keep it dialed in, Joe is your pick.
Captain Justin is a hockey player turned boat captain who traded frozen ponds and Tennessee lake days for Florida sandbars and wide-open water. He’s the kind of captain who makes your day feel easy—steady, funny, and always down to make sure your crew has the best possible time out there.
He’s got that Southern charm, but don’t let it fool you—Justin can absolutely get after it with the best of them when the group calls for it. Great for friend groups, celebrations, and anyone who wants a captain who’s relaxed, capable, and quietly hilarious.
Meet the Captains
A Levique tour isn’t just a boat ride—it’s hosted. Our captains have been with us since the early days, and guests request them by name because they know the water, read the vibe, and make sure your group has a legendary day. Whether you’re here for a tiki cruise, a pontoon island day, a sunset tour, or a “we’re just winging it” vacation afternoon—this crew makes it easy.
Whether you’re booking captained tiki boat tours, pontoon tours, or sunset cruises out of Madeira Beach near John’s Pass, this crew is the reason people leave saying, “We’re doing that again.”
Want a specific captain? Add their name in your booking notes and we’ll do our best to match schedules.
Great day on the water? Tip your captain and dock mate—this crew earns it.
AMAZING!
The views, the wildlife, the experience!

John Levique: The Lost Treasure
John Levique was a French peasant that worked as a cabin boy on a Spanish sailing vessel around the time of 1836.
After the ship was ambushed by pirates, Levique was given the choice of death or joining the pirate crew. He chose to join the pirates and worked his way to the top, becoming the captain of his ship.
Levique settled on a small island off the west coast of Florida, where he buried his treasure for safe keeping.
In 1848, Levique decided to take to New Orleans. When he was ready to head home, he was faced with a big storm. He waited out the weather in a safe harbor.
Upon his arrival home, he found the shoreline quite different. The island where Levique had buried his treasure had been cut in two. The cut occurred in the exact spot that Levique had buried his treasure.
Levique sailed his boat through the new pass into Boca Ciega Bay. Thereafter, the new pass was known as John’s Pass. He remained in the area until his death in 1873.
