The People Behind the Adventure
Meet Our Team
Family-owned and operated for over 20 years. Our guides are passionate about the water and dedicated to making your experience unforgettable.
Our Star Guide
Meet Rosie!
Avi (the original founder) has spent thousands of hours navigating The 10,000 Islands. He has now shared his knowledge with his daughter, Rosie, who is the newest member of the crew.
She's a natural! Growing up in the family-run business, guests are lining up to spend the day with Rosie. She's knowledgeable, kind, and fun — she makes every tour unforgettable.
Rosie knows every inch of the 10,000 Islands and has an incredible ability to spot dolphins, manatees, and other wildlife. Her enthusiasm for the water is contagious, and her guests always leave with a smile.
The Founder
Meet Avi
Avi founded Avi's Watersports over 20 years ago with a simple mission: share the magic of the 10,000 Islands with as many people as possible. His deep love for the water and the unique ecosystem of Southwest Florida has made him one of the most respected guides in the area.
Having spent thousands of hours navigating these waters, Avi knows every dolphin pod, every hidden cove, and every secret spot that makes the 10,000 Islands so special. His passion for wildlife and conservation shines through in every tour.
Now with Rosie by his side, the family legacy continues — bringing joy, adventure, and unforgettable memories to visitors from around the world.
