5.00We had an amazing adventure! Captain Steve and JC took great care of us. JC made the trip really fun. We saw a pod of dolphins including 2 babies. It was wonderful getting to see dolphins in their own environment! I would highly recommend this experience!
You will see dolphins!

5.00My fiance and I married over the weekend and later went for the dolphin and bay tour. MJ was an awesome tour guide and made our honeymoon cruise extra special. They were a lot of fun. The dolphins were very active and we also fed seagulls from our fingertips Excellent experience. Family fun and kid friendly as well. Highly recommend. I suggest to call ahead or book online and arrive early. Parking is across the street which was a little challenging to figure out.
Fabulous Dolphin Watching Tour!

5.00The Frisky Mermaid Crew never disappoints! This was our third dolphin watch cruise with them. They are great at finding dolphins and giving a great view of them up close. MJ was very informative and able to answer all questions about dolphins. We highly recommend The Frisky Mermaid for your dolphin watching cruise! When the Blue Angels are in town, be sure to book the combo dolphin watching/Blue Angels tour as that is a fabulous tour also. The Blue Angels were not in town in Feb, but we have done it before.

5.00Beautiful tour! We saw many dolphins, including a mom and little baby! Heidi, our guide was very funny and kept us entertained with wry jokes and interesting info about dolphins and the general area. The captain focused on his "driving" which was very calming for me, and would throw in a comment now and again. The music wasn't blasting and included a nice variety of songs. The only drawback was the nasty odor coming from the back of the restaurant where we waited. So refreshing out on the water! Cleared my nose and mood quickly! You gotta go!

5.00Our experience was absolutely amazing! Mary and the crew were phenomenal! We got to see so many dolphins and they even gave my 5 year old daughter the microphone on the ride back and let her sing her favorite song to the entire boat! Hands down a great experience and so affordable!

5.00First we were late because unfamiliar with where it was located. The tour guide held the boat for us to get on. Thank you Mary. We had the best time. Saw plenty of dolphins even a mother and baby played with us. Music was great. Danced with the tour guide and overall had a great time. I would do it again tomorrow.
