    If I could give this trip more stars, I would! 🌟 We LOVED absolutely everything about this excursion. The entire crew (Captain John, Cathy & Helen) was fantastic! The array of food was tasty and plentiful, and the bottomless pineapple 🍍 mimosas were fabulous! 👌 Captain John was awesome and at the start of the day, took us out to see several dolphins (even a baby one)🐬🐬🐬 right up close frolicking in the water. Cathy provided us with a fun and highly informative tutorial on dolphins and Helen took wonderful care of us making cocktails🍸 for us and she never let our cups run dry. Our time at the sandbar was so relaxing with stunningly beautiful water and we saw all sorts of marine life 🐟 swimming around. On the way back to the dock, Captain John took us by for yet another viewing of those magical dolphins 🐬🐬🐬. We had the perfect day. 👌😀👌

    The ladies that were our crew for the day were great. Super friendly, lots of info, and kept our drinks and food filled. I was disappointed we didnt see any dolphins which was the reason I booked this one. Would have also been nice to actually use the snorkel gear to see stuff but there really wasn't anything around.

    We didn't stop at a sandbar where you could just step off the boat - you had to go swimming - so I was disappointed. The food provided was not appetizing for me so I was hungry after getting back to the dock.

  • Fun Dolphin Cruise and Sandbar Adventure

    Enjoyed the 5-hour tour with about two hours anchored at the sandbar location (picture attached). We saw a few dolphins while cruising to the sandbar and enjoyed being in the water even though it was a little cold at first. The food was good and enjoyed the free mimosas. The staff was very friendly and great hosts throughout the trip! Highly recommend and will book this cruise again on next trip to Key West.
