    This family-owned operation has been creating memorable dolphin encounters since 1994, and their experienced captains truly know where to find the action. Guests consistently rave about spotting large pods of dolphins, sometimes 20 or more, with many lucky viewers catching sight of these beautiful creatures leaping and bow riding alongside the 80-foot vessel. Captains like Pat and Scott earn special mentions for their humor, local knowledge, and dedication to making sure everyone gets a great view. The crew creates a welcoming atmosphere that guests appreciate, often going beyond the scheduled 90 minutes to enhance the experience. Families particularly love this cruise. Kids get excited feeding seagulls mid-journey, and the combination of dolphins, occasional shark sightings, and stunning sunsets keeps everyone engaged. The spacious boat accommodates groups comfortably, and reviewers mention thoughtful touches like honoring veterans and sharing the company's founding story. One heads-up: while the glass-bottom viewing is advertised, several guests note the panels are smaller than expected and don't add much to the experience. That minor detail aside, the overwhelming sentiment points to an affordable, kid-friendly adventure that delivers exactly what matters most—plenty of dolphins and lasting family memories.

    We had a wonderful time! The crew was awesome, very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw so many dolphins and also some small sharks. They let the kids feed the seagulls and played good music. The sunset was gorgeous. We also liked that they honor God and took time to thank our veterans and first responders. Highly recommend!
