5.00It was a great experience! There were some weather issues but they were very accommodating and made arrangements for us as a better time for the weather. Very reasonably priced as well. Saw a bunch of dolphins and thy did a good job of turning the boat so we could get a better view. Also the length of the visit was well worth the money spent! Captain Paul and Captain Eric were very friendly and funny and told some great Jekyll history too!
Excellent sunset cruise

5.00Saw tons of dolphins, too many to count. Cap and first mate had well rounded knowledge about all facets of wildlife and island history and plenty of jokes. You guys rock the dock, tour was better than could have ever expected. One year old and three year old friendly trip!
It’s was a great experience for our 11 year old grand daughter . She loved seeing the dolphins and was very excited.
