Pontoon Boat Camping on Caladisi Island, Florida 

It was a pleasure and privilege to watch this video. With all of the trash and profanity on RU-vid, it is good to see a wholesome, family oriented video for a change. In an age where most people interact with their phone, TV, or video game console instead of their family, it is so refreshing to see a dad and his son enjoying each other's company, actually talking with each other instead of texting or communicating through social media, and simply enjoying gold old-fashioned quality time together. Although you spent less than 24 hours with your son on this over-nighter, the memories you made together will last him a lifetime. Long after you have gone on, he will look back and remember what a great time he had pontoon camping with his dad back in the spring of '19. Hopefully, he will do the same with his children as you have done with him. Seeing the smile on his face is worth more than anything money could ever buy and I'm sure you realize that. I literally had to wipe the tears from my eyes in more than one spot as I was overcome with emotion knowing how you must feel at that moment while enjoying life with your son on that empty stretch of beach. It's the love a father feels for his children when he surpasses the title of father and becomes a "dad". You did an outstanding job of capturing the emotion of the moment along with the beautiful scenery that went along with it. That is something even professional photographers struggle to do. I think it's a gift as opposed to a skill. You, sir, are truly deserving the honor of being called a dad. I thank you for sharing this video with me if no one else. I hope you continue to make good memories with your son. The world needs more dads like you.

Thank you for sharing your life living in now with your son. What a breath of fresh air. You’ve made my day ! And lately life has been hard to see the sunlight. What a ray of sunlight you have given the world.

I got to say it is good to see a dad who tells their child that they love them. Keep creating memories.

What an incredible experience to share with you son. Memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks for sharing.

That is a twist lock adapter. Also I'm sure you meant 30 amp not volt lol. Thanks for the Vid!! And team JDRF here! Take care folks!

Amazing video! My family and I will soon be getting our first boat soon (pontoon) and currently live in St Petersburg. This video really inspired me and I can't wait to explore the various islands off of Florida. Thank you so much!

Awesome! Making memories that will last a lifetime

I had quite a few boats when I was younger and it’s something I’ve always wanted to do with my son (only child). I was closed-adopted at birth so my son is the only living blood relative that I’ve ever known. Yes we are close and he’s the center of my being. I was finally financially able to buy a brand new Harris Tritoon about 2 months ago and we are having a blast on this thing. We have family time where the whole family goes and we set aside time every now & then for just Dad & Son trips. Thanks so much for sharing. Hopefully I will have some vids coming soon but it will need to be on a different channel due to uhhh some reasons. Lol

thanks for sharing the love between father and son.... totally loved the bonding time u had

I introduced camping to my children when they were young and they are doing the same with their children. This is how Florida should be experienced.

We recently got a pontoon boat and were looking for various camping options to take it out for. Super excited to check this option out!

I'd sure like to know more about that Gadget you used to heat up the water! Home made Boil-A-Bag meals are an easy and awesome way to go!!!

Handsome skipper you got there captain

What a great video!!! And even greater experience with your son!! I can't wait to take my 5 month old son on adventures like this!

Great video. Inspiring. We watched it and decided to take our Pontoon boat to Celadesi Island next day. We are new to boating, so it was an amazing place to mark our first day long boat trip. Very easy to reserve a space and walk to the beach. Amazing views, great facilities! Bring your own food... while there is a convenience store, prices are very high.

Awesome video, good stuff dad 👍🏽

Sous Vide on a pontoon boat = Awesome

nice moment with kids...😂😅❤

That was cool maybe you can bring me some time Cooper

Awesome video, watching from Luray VA, your shirt from the caverns surprised me lol

wow ang ganda

Can you tell us what size that bug net is is where you got it? I’d love to take the kids out but I think the mosquitoes would drive him crazy. Thanks in advance. Great video by the way. Building memories that will last a lifetime.

I cried watching this. Beautiful experience. Back to business: which mosquito net is that?

where did you get that net setup? do you have a link for it?

Where did yo find the netting?

Those electrical plugs are 30 amps not volts. They're still 120 volts.
