Overview

A fun, educational experience for the entire family! We specialize in making lifelong memories 95% of the time we see dolphin during our cruise. The more time you spend on the water the higher chance you will have of seeing wildlife. Captain specializes in encouraging the Dolphin to jump behind the boat. This is not a guarantee to see wild dolphin. All of our tours are semiprivate to private group charters. Awesome location.

Good tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Hunter did an excellent job and was very personable. He was able to find the areas where the dolphins hang out and we were able to see several, mostly babies, on the tour. This is a smaller boat and because of the waves you need to expect to get wet; it’s just unavoidable no matter how good the operator/ captain is. So if you are okay with that, then I certainly recommend it.

11/10 recommend!!! Captain T was amazing and made us feel like we were on a day trip with a good friend! We saw dolphins, toured the gulf coast, and found the most perfect spot for shells where my son got ALL his shell questions answered by the Captain T.

Fun times in Florida

We had the best time out on the boat. Captain was awesome! Can’t wait to come back to Florida and do it again.
