Entertaining, informative, and intimate dolphin tour.

5.00This was my second sunset and dolphin tour on Jolly Sailing within the month of September. I had been on a few dolphin tours in Destin and Pensacola Beach. While all were fun and entertaining, I recommend Jolly Sailing for a more personal experience. The reason I say that is Jolly Sailing is a smaller boat so you have a better opportunity to interact with the crew, get your questions answered, and a better ability to see the dolphins up close and unobstructed. The first mate, I believe his name is Matt, is very knowledgeable and entertaining. He answered every question asked, not only about dolphins and marine life, but also about history of the area, geography, and history. On both tours within three weeks I learned different information on each tour. Having fewer people on the boat we were all able to have the opportunity to take videos and photos and experience the dolphins in a more intimate way. And enjoy the beautiful sky and sunset. Taking selfies is easier without being photo bombed. I believe the value I received on both tours was well worth the comparable price I paid on the other tours I had taken. I highly recommend Jolly Sailing as do the others that joined me on the tour. Including our visitors from out state. They were totally satisfied. And yes, I'm a local.
Well worth it!

5.00It was great seeing dolphins in their natural habitat. They got close to our boat once or twice. Our daughter is severely autistic and she loved just being on the boat. We got so many good pictures of her just loving it.
We had a lot of fun very relaxing

5.00I can’t express how great our experience was. I was proposing to my girlfriend and Captain Roger set it up great. He was absolutely wonderful and very knowledgeable. He met us at the gate with a smile and that smile never left. He was always asking if there was anything we needed. The sailboat was an awesome experience and well maintained. At the end we met the owners and they were absolutely delightful and even asked if she said yes (side note she said yes 😊). We absolutely recommend Jolly sailing and if you can request a captain don’t hesitate to ask for Captain Roger.
Great Experience

5.00This was a great experience. Our Tour Guide was very knowledgeable. We were upfront close to the dolphins. Absolutely amazing experience. Highly recommended.
Be prepared for watching the Blue Angels from the sand dunes. Maybe bring some chairs.

4.00Great to see the dolphins. We took the trip that included the Blue Angels air show. We were not prepared to spend 90 minutes on a sand dune. Perhaps our fault for not reading closer. Other than that a great experience. The staff was entertaining and knowledgeable.
Peaceful, fun and informative!

5.00The Captain and First Mate (Tommy and Jonika) they were AWESOME. Beautiful experience and something I will never forget. And the Flyover by The Blue Angels was the cherry on the top. Thank you very much.
