I enjoyed having dinner in the cabin. The waitress was very friendly and the food was good. The staff was very friendly and the tour guide was excellent. I saw many dolphins! I would recommend this cruise and go back again.

We did the dinner cruise. The food was good and plentiful, the service was great. We also saw a lot of dolphins. Best sunset dinner cruise we have done to date ( we’ve done 6-including one in Alaska)

A nice cruise

Penny_S, Aug 2024
Beautiful sunset, saw several dolphins, good food, friendly service. The only thing that could have been better is better organization getting people to the buffet. Ni

Wonderful

Cindy_H, Aug 2024
The food was delicious.. I have a garlic allergy and I was called the day of the cruise and was asked if I needed a special meal prepared or have the chicken and vegetables that were on the menu, these items were without garlic. Very professional and courteous!!

Great fun on the water !

Friendly crew. Interesting narration of the environment. Decent food. Very peaceful to be out on the water watching pods of dolphins frolic.

Must do excursion

The crew was engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. The dinner was very good- the chicken and short ribs melt in your mouth. Lots of dolphins close up- Will definitely book again

Enjoying the entire time...

Jane_P, Jun 2024
Enjoying the entire time with my granddaughter. It was her first time to experience the cruise. The conditions on the water were great.

We saw a whale

Karla_U, Jun 2024
The Captain chose to stay out later because he was able to locate a whale. It was awesome. I highly recommend this cruise.

Awesome Stay

John_A, Jul 2023
This property is truly a hidden gem, tucked away on a cul de sac. Backyard faces a lake with a one-mile trail that circumnavigates. Awesome sitting areas around the lake, away from beach crowd…awesome!!

Seeing the dolphins, very...

go somewhere else

Rahn_M, Mar 2023
Be careful when you book this cruise. We canceled about 6 hours before we were due to board because of a parade that we wanted to see and they would not give her money back like they said. They would so we have recommended that you go to anywhere but these people because they are rip off

90th Birthday Dinner Cruise/Dolphins!

Lydia_K, Aug 2022
90th Birthday Dinner cruise with 14 family members- the trip was great! Lots of dolphins seen on both sides of the boat, easily viewable from our dinner tables. Braised short ribs were particularly delicious! And at any point you could walk around the boat to get in the views. I’m so happy we booked this!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you so much Lydia, we are so pleased you had a nice time on board the Dinner Cruise. Thank you for the feedback and Happy 90th Birthday !!!

Sunset dolphin dinner cruise

Chrissy_S, Aug 2022
The sunset was absolutely beautiful. We did see dolphins. The food was tasty, we had the buffet dinner. It would have been nice to know the menu and that our table was chosen and reserved for us.

Great experience

John_V, Aug 2022
First time doing dinner cruise and it was great, wish we saw the wale but least we saw the dolphins. Will be back again :)

Summer fun

Karen_G, Aug 2022
The crew was wonderful, the captain was very knowledgeable, the food was delicious, the sunset was gorgeous.. we enjoyed our evening and loved making memories

Do not recommend

Yevgeny_B, Aug 2022
Old boat, cheap and well used plates/silverware. No whales, barely saw any dolphins. Food was mediocre at best, but we had to go eat afterwards. To make it worse, the people that didn’t order dinner on the boat and went for half the price, got free pizza (which looked better than our food). None of the 5 kids ages 8-14 enjoyed it at all.

Will Return Again!

SUSETTE_J, Aug 2022
Boarding was quick and our table was ready for us to dine. The crew were accommodating, the captain was quite entertaining with interesting facts about Cape May, dolphins and whales. In addition to the delicious buffet were complimentary pizza and hot dogs!

Nice evening seeing dolphins

Lynda_P, Jul 2022
Saw many dolphins… Crew very attentive and informative of wildlife and area… captain would circle around so the whole boat could see the dolphins. Unfortunately didn’t see any whales but hey it’s wildlife - can’t help it! Dinner buffet was ok … staff was great and if was nice to have a place reserved to go and sit inside…. Would do again

Thank you for the great memories

Jose_P, Jul 2022
We thoroughly enjoyed this activity. The staff went above and beyond for all of us and the food/drinks were VERY GOOD. We highly recommend this cruise and will tell friends and family.

Great

Linda_M, Aug 2021
Overall experience was great. Food was delicious! Only problem we encountered was the person that took the tickets while boarding announced that we were the Golden Girls. Very disrespectful. Not said in a kidding way

Great food and views

Elizabeth_F, Jul 2021
Very nice and we saw lots of dolphins! There was a tropical storm that day and we were unable to cancel (it was the same day and cancellation is for 24 hrs in advance). Because of the rain we didn't see a sunset and the water was too rough to go out into the ocean so no whales were seen. BUT... The food was great! And the staff was friendly and answered all questions! I will definitely do this again when its a nice day

Awesome !

Karen_S, Jun 2021
The meal was very good. The staff courteous and friendly. We saw dozens of dolphins some with young babies. We even-handed eagle and osprey. Would definitely go again.
