We really enjoyed this excursion, Chad was helpful friendly and informative. We saw several dolphins, they came right up close to the boat. It was great having the boat to ourselves. We would definitely do it again.

It was a spacious boat and with only our small group onboard, we were able to easily move about the boat to get the best views of the dolphins. The captain was personable and knowledgeable. It was a beautiful relaxing ride. Highly recommend.

Took our two tweens on this trip. Saw dolphins immediately and followed the pod around, watching them play in wakes. Finished the trip watching the sun set behind Lydia Ann lighthouse. Chad was a great tour guide—friendly, knowledgeable and tailored our trip to our interests. Highly recommended!
