I love John's Pass, I go there every few years.

[@AdventuresofmalibuandDad]

Love John Pass. Beautiful area. Enjoy.

[@bmcc4379]

John's pass is always a good time. Definitely a can't miss.

[@helgabullabong]

Wow, dolphin jumped out of the water as the pirate ship pulled out. I went there in 1989, thanks for the happy memories. Cheers

[@trish5556]

I was wondering if anyone else noticed that!

[@InsideTheBunkerAdventures]

Under the boardwalk…. Watching the video now! Looks like a fun time.

[@CosmicKingGeorge]

That is a beautiful place!

[@edwardbrehm484]

Tampa jay love the adventures surprise us every time Rays up 😊

[@donnytucker]

One of my favorite childhood places to visit. I would ride my bike all the there from the Indian rocks beach area. Long ride but it was fun to hang out.

[@bas4116]

I am jealous of your childhood. I had to grow up in God forsaken Tampa :(

[@donnytucker]

@@bas4116 Yeah, it was nice to live next to the beach and get to surf after school if there was waves(which was never lol) so we would always just go skate. I spent a lot of time skating at the skatepark of tampa.

[@ChinaDollTravels]

I love seeing the water and all the boats 🚤

[@Shelly-in-Tampa]

Oh we visited John's Pass! Loved it there gotta go back. That place is so enormous we did not even see all of it.

[@dpmart3275]

Nice enjoyed

[@Jenee1020]

I loved hearing Sloop John B by the Beach Boys in the background at Bubba Gump's. That was my father's favorite song and John's Pass, Maderia Beach and Treasure Island were some of his favorite places. Lots of memories!

[@PhotoGearFun]

Looks like a very cool place and looks like you had a great time! Thanks so much for sharing. Cheers.

[@MC-342]

Our Florida beaches are so beautiful. They smell wonderful too. Lovely day. Too hot for me now, but I'm visiting in a couple of months. I only live 30 miles away but it's like a different world. Pure paradise 🌴

[@paranormalpineapple1928]

I Love living in Florida!!! Every weekend there is something new and somewhere new to explore. Thank you Tampa Jay and Cris the girl for your adventures you take us on every weekend.

[@RusstheTroubadour]

Jay thanks for sharing your day w/ Cris the girl. Looked so chill there. Great video as always.

[@deanaspivey1557]

[@birdnest5814]

[@anital5020]

We were there for Memorial Day Weekend. Really enjoyed our visit. We will be going back.

[@sandypetro8907]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU....This makes me want to come visit that area again. I plan to visit again in 2023 if all goes well. Also looking fwd to your video from Treasure Island. Thats where we stayed when we visited last year. I absolutely love you two. This video made my day. Im actually so excited to see this. Thank you for taking us along. 💕💕💕💕

[@dmgolub1]

Really good interesting video

[@sandman4384]

[@awaits9402]

Cool, looks like you caught a dolphin on video at 14:23!

[@joselassalle9292]

Great video, guys! It motivated me to visit John's Pass Village!

[@ForeverPositively]

Well Done!!

[@billhardy3024]

Love John’s pass we were there on Saturday taking friends for their first time.

[@vmx445]

MAD BEACH BABY!!!!!!!

[@retrogamingkings4136]

Such a great channel!!!!!!!!

[@TampaJay]

Thanks so much :)

[@kristinabunker54]

Very cool video today! We will have to check that place out, Thank you for sharing 😊

[@applevalleyhillbillygarden1093]

Cool area. Can't wait tell you go back to that upstairs wildlife place. It sure has the gaudy Florida touristy vibe I like so will . I think that was Punch from Punch and Judy's old puppet shows. Cool flamingo shirts.. Hopefully you-all will be wearing them at the Comic Com.....

[@damenwalker66]

The sands is a great little place to stay. We love johns pass. Hopefully when we go back we’ll be able to check out the gator attractions.

[@paranormalpineapple1928]

If you ever decide for a day trip or 2 day trip to Key West try the Key West Express ferry out of Fort Myers. Nice 3.5 hour boat ride to Key West and saves a lot of driving.

[@davehitt]

Awesome!

[@johnwarren7845]

really enjoyed the video, getting ready to go back to mad beach ,it's a great place.

[@OldMovieRob]

Great stuff. Its been ages since I was last at John's Pass but it looks much the same.

[@brendacarter3714]

Great Vlog as always

[@BostonMark67]

Tampa Jay, ty brother. Ur videos cheer me up and because of u I’m moving to Florida. Can’t wait ✌🏻

[@sandyb.5287]

We stay at Sunset Vista over the bridge in Treasure Island… Couple times a year from the Midwest.This is where we hang out and eat all the time when down there. We love to eat at Doc Side Dave’s in Madeira also great grouper Reuben’s… we love this whole area…can’t wait to return

[@garfixit]

Love you guys ❤️

[@vegasstoker9647]

Love the ice cream and wine slushies there.

[@robertrich9336]

It’s all of it! 🥰

[@robertrich9336]

Very cool place to visit! 😎 🏝

[@robertrich9336]

Love places like this!

[@ericvdwilt4741]

NICE VIDEO, WELL DONE!

[@robertrich9336]

Lots of good grub! 😋

[@Jsteng08]

Great video Love the vibe of the town 👍👍👍

[@debrareeves3982]

💜the ⛱️

[@drwhodsds3778]

Hey guys, when you were filming the pirate ☠️ ship backing out of dock, there was a Dolphin🐬 breaching in the water to the right, lol

[@TheJonnyRay]

It was really nice meeting you guys! Thank you for taking the time to say hi

[@georose33]

I'll be there this coming Memorial Day weekend!

[@Luv2tickt]

I imagine that John's Pass Village was once a nice quiet little hidden gem like Siesta Key Village. Now...at least it looks like there's a lot more room to move about at John's Pass; Siesta Key not so much! I could put that wave sound on and just drift off to sleep...no melatonin with a Tylenol PM and Whisky chaser!

[@markimoofan1239]

This was a fun video ^_^ hope you guys have a great week

[@joeruppert1240]

Love the skeleton wind chime

[@wynflaeth]

Yet another great video! Florida native here. I can't believe all the places I have never heard of that you are discovering. Very cool. Keep up the great work! By the way, that's pronounced 'madeera' beach. Not 'madera'. Just think of Madeira wine!😊

[@Bodhis_mom66]

So many fun things to do in Florida!!! I need to move to Florida!!! Oh the Flamingo shirt you definitely need!!!🤗🦩

[@charleskimberly3601]

Thanks!

[@joeruppert1240]

John’s Pass was great. Love to see this in person. Great job guys.

[@robertrich9336]

Enjoyed both of y’all’s Vlogs! We are heading to Surfside Beach, SC, for a week away… got the whole family going… 😊

[@Bejennuine]

We were just at John’s Pass a week ago feeding the gators with family that came down from Indiana. When we did it a year ago they used sticks with hotdogs attached , but they stopped bc ppl were hitting the gators with the sticks. 🙄. Ppl always ruin things. Now it’s just pellets you throw. It was still fun to hold them.

[@Elyse1997]

We went to the alligator place years ago. Super fun. I don't know what it's like now but would recommend based on the past experience. Didn't know about the duck tour, might have to venture that way again ..thanks for sharing!

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Hey, there's ya'lls matching "Flamingo" Hawaiian shirts! 🦩

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Happy day for a happy couple! 🤗 Thank you for sharing ya'lls adventure with us. Beautiful location! God bless 🙌

[@bjornemccomb8262]

Plethora of interesting things! Especially the surfboard with “lick me til ice cream” CHEEKY!!!!!

[@floridacycling4842]

The ice cream stands on Virgin Voyages cruise ships also have the same clever double entendre as their name.

[@cindypowel7517]

Awesome Sunday Adventure! Reminds me of your other video a while ago when the Pirates came to plunder Tampa. The Flamingo Hawaiian shirt perfect 4 you & not a bad price. Thx 4 taking us all along

[@OffRampAdventures]

So nice to see a marina and boardwalk!...love the idea of a beach this time of year!

[@CoastalFloridaLife]

Hi Jay, John's Pass looks like a neat place to visit/tour. 👍😀 love those boardwalks and shops! Wow...great pirate ship. 🏴‍☠🏴‍☠ We are planning a trip to John's Pass very soon. Thank you and "Cris the Girl" for sharing your adventures. Safe travels and have a great week! 👍like 414.

[@cyrbuzz6615]

I need to check out that John’s Pass. I’ve only been to that area once but it was a job I was doing and didn’t get to check out the local scene.

[@debramottaz4793]

I lived a block away from John’s Pass for 3 years.

[@susietroxlar]

i know the hubbard family that started johns pass. we were friends for many years. had hubbards pier in pass a grille went to maderia beach jr high i grew up with hubbard kids and one of the girls owns friendly fisherman

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Fun vlog as usual Jay! Ahh the beach, looks nice there.

[@bjornemccomb8262]

“He’s got a weapon” “His weapon is XXL too” 😂😂😂

[@trish5556]

I was wondering what jumped out of the water as the pirate ship was heading out. I thought it was either a dolphin, manatee, or a mermaid-lol! It was so cool to know that Summer Rental was filmed there. I love John Candy movies.

[@jdtravel4672]

catching up on all videos since I'm quarantined.

[@TampaJay]

Thanks John hope you’re doing better

[@Rossturnerphoto]

Glad you two had a great time. I was there a couple years ago to eat at Bubba Gumps, but it’s been a while since I meandered through the shops. Maybe I’ll go back sometime

[@jennymodgoddess]

HI Jay! 🙋 I didn't know there was other Bubba Gump Shrimp Companies around the USA. We went to the one in San Francisco. It was awesome to see the area and different shops. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@ellee8459]

Hello 👋 For Hawaiian style 👕 with Flamingos , look at 21 pinapples shirt co and have fun. Hello to Chris the girl & Bella🐾🧚‍♀️

[@TheREELGEEK]

Tom Selleck wore about a dozen different variations of Hawaiian shirts on the television show Magnum PI and the red parrot shirt was the most famous of them all. Sadly the one you were looking at looked nothing like any of them. 😔 But still a very nice shirt.

[@TampaJay]

You should have seen the ones I didn’t show. Love Magnum.

[@ezzz1109]

Jay and Chris, when are your live chats scheduled every week?

[@ParadiseInPinellas]

Always love going here when we can. I was commenting on Cris the Girl’s video saying that big Parrots of the Caribbean boat tour has a Groupon deal right now if y’all want to check that out without spending full price on it.

[@robertrich9336]

You need to take Cris out on the deep see! 😉

[@bas4116]

Tampa Jay need to bring Adam The Woo here !!!

[@donttouchmysilver8202]

27:25 you found Ben Mallah!!! 😂

[@robertrich9336]

Need to put my Dogs on a Shirt!

[@JoeJoyHaveLanded]

It looks so cool, thank you for sharing it. We tried to go in October when we were down filming in Florida but just did not have the time. We made sure at least to drive over that drawbridge so Joe could at least lay his eyes on the worlds largest chicken wing. Was the wood jester Punch based from Punch and Judy puppet shows?

[@robertrich9336]

The Gator 🐊 is in “The Upside Down,” Stranger Things 🤔

[@gilbertgranby9339]

As the pirate ship is departing; at 14.23-14.25 a Dolphin can be seen in the Right Corner 🐬

[@abbykilroy9065]

Y'all missed the dolphin in the water at minute 14:23!! 🐬

[@ToddEWalnuts]

20:21 ❤ 🤗

[@ToddEWalnuts]

That was the most perfect response she could have said, and I could tell from your face that you felt that in your heart. Ol’ Walnuts peepers got a little misty, I ain’t gonna lie. I’m sorry I’ve been out of the loop for awhile Jay but I’m so happy for you man. You deserve it all. Peace bro

[@robertrich9336]

👍🏻

[@robertrich9336]

Hi 👋

[@brianburman6580]

Does anyone know if the Casino boat left from John's Pass at one point in time?

[@billhardy3024]

Dolphin pops up at 14:23

[@joshwilliams4976]

Hey Tampa Jay. What are your favorite Spongebob Episodes?

[@dustinplemmons]

As the draw bridge is going down i'm singing "who made who". LOL The worlds largest breast in Hooters and Cris' expression....i laughed way to hard watching this at work.

[@TampaJay]

Perfect hahah

[@christianbair3342]

Is Madeira beach crowded? My boyfriend, his parents and I are wanting to go somewhere that isn’t crowded. We were going to go to Fort Myers but unable to due to the hurricane.

[@robertrich9336]

Did you see the size of that chicken…. “Young Guns” 😂

[@robertrich9336]

Finger licking good! 😋
