5.00First time taking this cruise with our family and friends. We enjoyed the charter, dolphins and experience. Great captain and his wife. I would recommend this private charter experience over any other and especially over a crowded boat full of strangers. The price to me was reasonable and well worth the private experience.

5.00The hosts were very friendly and took awesome care of us. A pop up storm came up and they quickly too everyone to safety and cared about our experience the entire cruise. Everyone had a memorable experience with a captain and his “mate” who quickly became friends! We will be back!
Best money I’ve ever spent!

5.00These five star reviews are real. It was amazing. The dolphins followed the boat and played. Captain and his wife were simply amazing. Highlight of our trip for sure.
Exhilarating excursion

5.00What wasn’t memorable about this trip? I have been on at least 25 boat rides through my life (at the beach). This was by far the very best boat excursion I have ever participated in riding. Alicia and Derrick are so personable and knowledgable, they make you feel right at home. There were 5 of us that attended, and none of us have seen so many dolphins! The Price is very affordable if you break down the cost of each ticket to any other boat rides. Then when you catch a couple close they literally ride the wave behind the boat. The dolphins love it! They jump and play behind you. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience.
Best Tour Ever

5.00This was the best experience ever! We immediately saw dolphins before we could even leave the staying point, it’s like they just knew. Our guide and captain were amazing and really made us feel welcome. Absolutely will be coming back again and again!!
