The guide was great! Very fun and entertaining experience! I like to be able to support a Family owned business! Seeing the dolphin and all the boats and beautiful blue water was so breathe taking. I could have been on there all day! Lol. I would recommend anyone to take a ride with him and support his speed boat tour. We really enjoyed it!

Very friendly and helpful, overall great experience
iesha_L, Apr 2024
The best part was definitely seeing the dolphins more up close and the beautiful sunset right on the water. It was also nice that they helped point out the dolphins whenever we came across them so we could take pictures

Dolphin Fun!
Mary_P, Apr 2024
Great dolphin finds! Boat captain was very skilled at finding the dolphins and maneuvering us near enough to see! Also lots of fun on the water when he opened it up - manipulating over the waves! Lots of fun!!

Not the expected experience
Elaine_B, Apr 2024
We finally did see a couple dolphins the last 10-15 minutes. Time was wasted sitting idle in the bay. Captain was okay, Savannah was great and interacted with the crowd.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
When booking, the title is very clear describing the cruise. We also mention on our site that we don't guarantee seeing dolphins. Our crew does their very best by working with the other dolphin cruise boats to spot dolphins. I am sorry you felt your time was wasted viewing the dolphins, however, when dolphins are spotted, they do stop to let the customers watch the dolphins. We never just stop and idle unless it is for viewing dolphins and or the sunset for a bit. We certainly don't spend the entire time idling. Captain Trent and Savanah have exceptional reviews as you can see if you read other reviews. The majority of our reviews are outstanding. I am sorry you felt the cruise wasn't the experience you expected.
Great experience

Great experience, crew was fantastic in regards to engaging those on the boat. They also let our 5 year old “drive the boy” once we got back to the harbor.

A great 1 hour trip to see dolphins. Both captains were very nice and went out of their way to make sure we all had a great time! The captain even allowed my 5 year old grandson to “drive” the boat 😊

Tons of Fun
Robert_P, Mar 2024
A real bargain for the price. We scheduled a late afternoon cruise and got to see dolphins, the sunset and Crab Island. Hitting the waves in a speedboat was a scream!! Better than the pokies on the pontoons.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Haha! There’s nothing like cruising in a speedboat with some great music. We are glad you had a great time. We hope you make plans to come back again. Thank you for choosing a small family business.
Motion in the ocean
