This isn’t a packed tourist boat — it’s a true small-group adventure with a maximum of 6 guests. You’re not watching dolphins from far away; you’re close enough to feel that electric moment when they swim right next to the boat. Our captains know the dolphin pods by territory and behavior, so you spend more time with them and less time searching. After the dolphin encounter, we take you to hand-picked spots that big boats can’t access: clear, shallow water, quiet backcountry reefs, and hidden sandbars. Beginners feel safe, families feel relaxed, and experienced snorkelers get genuinely good underwater visibility. Personalized, unhurried, and run by a local crew that actually cares — that’s what sets this trip apart.

Paddleboarding with a guide

Having had a bad experience kayaking as a teenager, at nearly 60 i was a bit cautious, but my wife insisted we go paddle boarding. We had a great time, the guide Chase was excellent, but after being a keyboard warrior for 5 years, my arms are feeling it. There was no pressure to race etc. Please tip generously especially if you got a good deal.

3 Hour Private Shell Island Dolphin and Snorkeling Tour

Matthew_S, Jul 2026

Great adventure with a great captain

Scott was a great captain who made this trip so enjoyable. His k college of the area during the tour was only outdone by his knowledge of navigating the big waves in the gulf. This was a fantastic way to spend an evening. Scott made sure there were multiple opportunities to swim with the dolphins. Definitely will do it again next time we are in PCB.

Family friendly outing

Captain Tanner and mate Vernon were excellent- friendly and attentive! Absolutely the best music!!! Thanks Capt Tanner wife!!!! Water is deep enough to keep you cool but great for school age kids. We had 2 lily pads to lounge on and various sports equipment. If you are in need of snacks or souvenirs, trust there are plenty of floating vendors!!!

Took my husband and daughter as a Father’s Day gift, and we had a great time! The team was friendly, experienced, and made the whole adventure a lot of fun. We would definitely do it again. The only sad part was that we were hoping to see manatees and dolphins, but apparently they had other plans that day. 😂 I guess wildlife doesn’t check the schedule!

My husband and I travel to Destin every year and this was by far one of our most favorite experiences we have done! It was so fun, yet super relaxing, and Captain Mike made the trip even more special! He was very nice, social, and very hospitable! He was one our favorite parts of this excursion (and the tiki boat was adorable!). We highly recommend this excursion whether you new to traveling to the area or been here a few times and just looking for something new to do! And we will definitely be asking for Captain Mike next time!

Serenity Sunset Cruise. Destin FL

Ryan_D, May 2026

Amazing Atmosphere, Service, and DOLPHINS

This experience completely exceeded my expectations! I booked this sunset cruise over the others available as the boat accommodate only 6 people. My wife and I appreciated the intimate nature of the cruise. Dena was knowledgeable, kind, and accomadating. We had a great tour of the harbor where Dena provided interesting facts about the history of Destin. The cruise ended on Crab Island to watch an amazing sunset. Everything from the music that Dena played to the conversation to the timeliness of the tour was 10/10. We did this tour for my Wife's 40th birthday and Dena had a great final touch by playing Happy Birthday for my wife as we pulled into the dock slip. I cannot say enough great things and am so grateful for the experiences / memories that we had on this experience. Oh yea - on the way back from the sunset on Crab Island, we saw Dolphins!!! Recommend fully for your next trip.

Soundside Cruiser Snorkeling and Dolphin Watching Experience

Laura_C, Oct 2025

Fun!

Great fun! The Captain and First Mate Were first rate! We travelled to a spot to snorkel and view some fish, then headed to where the dolphins play! Drove by Crab Island and then searched for Hermit crabs so we could watch them “race” on the deck before being thrown back into the water. The music and “vibe” was great for a fun trip for all ages!
