Great guides and hosts. We were under sail for well over an hour! Everyone had an opportunity to help raise the sails or steer. Saw dolphins almost the entire time. And I happened to spot a man o ray jump five feet out of the water! So impressive and exciting because I’d never seen one. Super relaxing and peaceful. Great value too! Our crew included Ian, Derek and Capt Peter.

Outstanding! The boat was amazing. We saw more dolphins than we had seen on any previous dolphin tours which was great for the kids on board. Great first mate!! He explained things well and shared his knowledge on the area. It was a really fun afternoon.

Crew and captain were very friendly and entertaining. Definitely a great and fun experience. The only thing I would like to see changed is the seating. You sit on the deck with a thin cushion which gets uncomfortable after about 30 minutes. I would like to see thicker cushions for comfort.

Helpful and accommodating staff people. Perfect trip around the bay that included a number of dolphins rising around the boat. Peter the Captain did a nice job making sure pictures were taken with great backgrounds. Had fun when sails were running full and you could feel what it must have been like to race. Great trip.

This sailing experience was awesome. Captain Peter was very experienced and made you feel comfortable. So much knowledge in sailing and the area kept you interested in the experience. My husband was able to steer the Sailboat for an hour, WOW. Highly recommend the trip, the sunset was so beautiful. I suggest sitting in the back vs the cushions up front if you are not flexible.
