5.00Completely recommend this. Captain Chad was great with our kids. We were lucky to get to see dolphins! This worked out great for our 5 y/o and 2 y/o to get on the water and cruise and see dolphins.
Thank you Chad!

5.00Chad is an awesome person. Very informative, intelligent and easy going! Saw tons of dolphins, learned about their environment and how they move about the area. As a bonus, we also learned more about the Port Aransas area and surrounding islands! Cannot wait to go back!
