About Us
At Flying Lady, we have lots of tour options; all of which are guided by a friendly and knowledgeable captain as you glide through the clear blue waters around our area.
Our most popular cruise is our 2-hour, historic boat tour. This tour is narrated by your captain and will discuss lots of history and historic references around the area, celebrity homes, local wildlife and many more fun and funny tales.
After the narration, about halfway through the journey, your captain will share our picture book that contains hundreds of images, taking you deeper into the stories you just heard. This is a Flying Lady exclusive and is not available on any other boat tour in our area.
We also offer a relaxing sunset river cruise that glides past magnificent homes, amazing yachts and stunning nature and wildlife. This tour also offers a picture book with images and stories about historical events that happened on and around the river. At the end of the cruise you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful Florida sunset.
All of our tours are customizable and we’re happy to accommodate any requests.
While our boat is equipped with water and a cooler of ice, you’re always welcome to bring anything you’d like to eat or drink so you can enjoy your time on the water.

Meet the original "Flying Lady"
The Flying Lady was name was conceived based on an ”act” in which the original founder of the business’s grandmother performed a trapeze act in the early 1900’s. That “act” was to swing by her jaws! Our boat is named In memory of his grandmother
Born in 1908 in Blackfoot, Idaho Laura Lorow was born to Bret James Lorow and Nellie Johnston Lorow. Bert James real last name was Willis but changed it to Lorow after he and his father came to a disagreement about using the word “freaks” instead of “oddities” in one of their shows. His father Colonel E. Willis was one of the founders of the famed Coney Island in NY. The Lorow’s have a long standing history with the circus.
By 1925 the “Flying Lady” was in Garden City, NY while she was booked with Christy Brothers Circus had “come down to earth” and flew for the last time. The Lorows, as a Circus family, can be traced from Bert’s birth in 1866 to 1960 in Billboard Magazine Archives. Our boat is affectionatlye named for Mark Manos’ grandmother for her sweeping lines and how she glides effortlessly through the water as the original “Flying Lady” did through the air.
