🐋 Meet Romeo — the record-breaking manatee making waves in Florida! Romeo, a West Indian manatee living at the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park, has officially been recognized by Guinness World Records as the oldest manatee ever recorded, estimated to be at least 71 years old—far surpassing the species’ typical 30–40 year lifespan. First documented in 1957 after being born in the wild, the gentle giant now lives in Manatee Cove alongside fellow manatees Lil Joe and Inigo, continuing to charm visitors and caretakers alike.

From fishing pier to marine research platform!!!!!

It’s no seceret here, that we strive to be a conservation based business. We are thrilled to participate with Visit Destin-Fort Walton Beach Coastal Resource team on various projects throughout the year. Pushing hard the eco-tourism message.

Besides all things Sea turtle and toothy critters…..

Rays are another project they work with along side Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium

If you see a spotted eagle ray, devil ray or manta ray….

This helps scientists track their migration patterns and provides crucial data to aid in their conservation.
