It’s a fun trip up the Halifax River (intercostal waterway) from the Seabreeze Bridge up to Holly Hill. It’s not too long, so you can plan for other activities after the trip. The catamaran is spacious. Plenty of room to stand or sit inside. You can also sit up front or lie on the webbing if you’re adventurous. We did see some dolphins in the water. Bring binoculars if you can. Lots of birds diving in the water (I watched a cormorant do some serious fishing.) The price is quite reasonable.

Captain Randy was great! He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions with a smile. He maneuvered the catamaran expertly, allowing us to see numerous dolphins. The catamaran was very clean and comfortable. Even though the day was chilly, we were in an interior section that was protected from the weather. Cold water and soft drinks are provided. We recommend this trip very highly.

We experienced a nice trip on the catamaran. The weather was cool but the trip was a great trip. We sat on the front with the wind in our faces enjoying the views!

Very relaxing. We saw some dolphins which made the kids day. The captain was nice and answered any questions. It was nice to have the entire boat to ourselves!

The sail was great, the catamaran was very spacious with a very intimate group. We didn’t see any dolphins, but we had a great time enjoying the weather and conversing with one another.

Such a great experience! CPT Randy knee just how much to engage in conversation and let everyone enjoy the experience. He played great music that didn’t overwhelm conversation. It was perfect.

Very nice gentle ride. We were lucky enough to spot a pod of 4 who played around and under the boat for quite some time!

This said it was a manatee and dolphin watching trip. We saw nothing but mansions on both sides of the river. The captain only spoke once pointing out the mansion belonging to the creator of nascar. When it was over I asked about the manatees and he said they were gone for the winter. I said I thought that should have been made clear in the ad but he disagreed. It was a pleasant ride but I would never have paid that much for just a 90 minute ride up and back down a bit of the river. The only good that came out of it is he told us about Blue Springs State Park where the manatees go this time of year. We went the next day and it was wonderful. $6 to park the car is the only cost!

We had an awesome time. Our sunset cruise included three generations from 50 to infancy. Captain Andrew provided life vests for the two youngest and when they became uncomfortable in the vests he suggested they move inside making them very happy. During the trip the kids got to steer the ship and we got some great photos. Speedy was exceptional including the kids in the trivia game and providing prizes when they got the correct answer. Dakota was new to the crew - she will be a great crew member as well. The crew were very knowledgeable about the lagoon and wildlife. Highly recommend!
