I enjoyed having dinner in the cabin. The waitress was very friendly and the food was good. The staff was very friendly and the tour guide was excellent. I saw many dolphins! I would recommend this cruise and go back again.

Awesome Stay

John_A, Jul 2023

This property is truly a hidden gem, tucked away on a cul de sac. Backyard faces a lake with a one-mile trail that circumnavigates. Awesome sitting areas around the lake, away from beach crowd…awesome!!

Seeing the dolphins, very...

go somewhere else

Be careful when you book this cruise. We canceled about 6 hours before we were due to board because of a parade that we wanted to see and they would not give her money back like they said. They would so we have recommended that you go to anywhere but these people because they are rip off

90th Birthday Dinner Cruise/Dolphins!

Lydia_K, Aug 2022

90th Birthday Dinner cruise with 14 family members- the trip was great! Lots of dolphins seen on both sides of the boat, easily viewable from our dinner tables. Braised short ribs were particularly delicious! And at any point you could walk around the boat to get in the views. I’m so happy we booked this!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you so much Lydia, we are so pleased you had a nice time on board the Dinner Cruise. Thank you for the feedback and Happy 90th Birthday !!!

Sunset dolphin dinner cruise

Chrissy_S, Aug 2022

The sunset was absolutely beautiful. We did see dolphins. The food was tasty, we had the buffet dinner. It would have been nice to know the menu and that our table was chosen and reserved for us.

Great experience

John_V, Aug 2022

First time doing dinner cruise and it was great, wish we saw the wale but least we saw the dolphins. Will be back again :)

Summer fun

Karen_G, Aug 2022

The crew was wonderful, the captain was very knowledgeable, the food was delicious, the sunset was gorgeous.. we enjoyed our evening and loved making memories

Do not recommend

Yevgeny_B, Aug 2022

Old boat, cheap and well used plates/silverware. No whales, barely saw any dolphins. Food was mediocre at best, but we had to go eat afterwards. To make it worse, the people that didn’t order dinner on the boat and went for half the price, got free pizza (which looked better than our food). None of the 5 kids ages 8-14 enjoyed it at all.

Will Return Again!

SUSETTE_J, Aug 2022

Boarding was quick and our table was ready for us to dine. The crew were accommodating, the captain was quite entertaining with interesting facts about Cape May, dolphins and whales. In addition to the delicious buffet were complimentary pizza and hot dogs!

Nice evening seeing dolphins

Lynda_P, Jul 2022

Saw many dolphins… Crew very attentive and informative of wildlife and area… captain would circle around so the whole boat could see the dolphins. Unfortunately didn’t see any whales but hey it’s wildlife - can’t help it! Dinner buffet was ok … staff was great and if was nice to have a place reserved to go and sit inside…. Would do again

Thank you for the great memories

Jose_P, Jul 2022

We thoroughly enjoyed this activity. The staff went above and beyond for all of us and the food/drinks were VERY GOOD. We highly recommend this cruise and will tell friends and family.

Great

Linda_M, Aug 2021

Overall experience was great. Food was delicious! Only problem we encountered was the person that took the tickets while boarding announced that we were the Golden Girls. Very disrespectful. Not said in a kidding way

Great food and views

Elizabeth_F, Jul 2021

Very nice and we saw lots of dolphins! There was a tropical storm that day and we were unable to cancel (it was the same day and cancellation is for 24 hrs in advance). Because of the rain we didn't see a sunset and the water was too rough to go out into the ocean so no whales were seen. BUT... The food was great! And the staff was friendly and answered all questions! I will definitely do this again when its a nice day

Awesome !

Karen_S, Jun 2021

The meal was very good. The staff courteous and friendly. We saw dozens of dolphins some with young babies. We even-handed eagle and osprey. Would definitely go again.
