1.00Well we WANTED to do this cruise and had signed up for a 9:30am cruise. The night before, we got a text that said that there weren’t enough people and could we change it to 4:30pm. We responded that that wouldn’t work. The response was offering 11:30. So we said okay and then evidently there weren’t enough people for that time and our money was refunded. Kinda of a funky way to do business and we never got to go on the cruise.
One of the best tours we've ever taken

5.00We took the 9:30 frisky mermaid tour the crew was so knowledgeable they knew everything about the dolphins plus we got to see the Blue Angels practice it was one of the best things we've done. You won't go wrong with 9:30 frisky mermaid dolphin tour.
Excellent trip!

5.00The boat was well maintained and the crew excellent. Parking was near by and free but limited. Location was accessible but you have to climb 4 to 5 steps to get on boat and if you want to go up front there are steps. There is a bathroom, snack bar and small gift shop on board. There are covered areas on board but it is mostly open air. They offer many tours, so pick your fancy. We did a dolphin cruise. Dolphins are wild animals so with any wild animal you must look for them. The ride and the barría tube while looking was fantastic. We got to meet Carl, the seagull who you can hand feed goldfish crackers. Such a fun experience!! We did find dolphins both young and old. It was a fantastic trip I would highly recommend.
Superb dolphin spotting expedition

5.00What a real treat! We got the opportunity to not just see dolphins but we got to see them in full play, dancing and jumping. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience with these beautiful, intelligent, and curious creatures. From feeding Carl the "bay-gull" to enjoying the dolphin spotting experience it was an enjoyable experience for the hole family. Thank you for wonderful experience of witnessing nature up close. I highly recommend Frisky Boat Tours for a real treat! Crew was super hospitable and it made the trip so much more fun! Thank you Captain Steve & Ally!
Excellent value and experience!

5.00Excellent experience. Informative and fun. We saw lots of dolphins (1:30 in the afternoon) and really enjoyed the whole trip. The captain and his mate were friendly and handled everything expertly. Easy check in. We left the dock on time and returned on time. Make sure you allow time to park across the street. There was plenty of room for the 25 or so people on our trip. Great value for the price. We will definitely bring the next relatives who visit us here in Pensacola.
Amazing! 🐬

5.00We have done several dolphin tours when visiting Pensacola Beach.... this is by far THE BEST experience we have had. The crew knew where to go, our viewing experience was far beyond what we could have anticipated.
