5.00This was awesome! Dan and Carly were fantastic and took photos us, too! Allow plenty of time because the bridge to get there gets very crowded. Parking is FREE and right at the dock, just use your phone and the QR CODE in the lot. No bathroom on the boat but facilities are available before and afterwards. It was a fun trip tho very chilly during the cold snap but I highly recommend it!
Beautiful Sunset and Great Captains!

5.00Forest and Carly were our captains. Both made us feel very welcome. They kept the trip fun. Lots of dolphins were pointed out and it was fun to watch the dolphins. One dolphin was “playing” with a pelican and that was entertaining. Plenty of drinks were offered and the music play list was awesome. Sunset was beautiful!
Beautiful sunset with dolphins!
