    Through no fault of the...

    Through no fault of the tour operator, this was a sunset sail and dolphin watch with no sunset and no dolphins. Oh well, it is what it is! However, it would have been nice if their was more narration by the captain and the mate. Long periods of time with no one entertaining the passengers.

    Gorgeous sunset and dolphins!!

    Stacy_B, Oct 2025
    Had a great time watching the gorgeous sunset from the boat. We also saw several dolphins and the guides told some great stories about curses causing the hurricanes. Can't beat the price!

    Great sunset cruise!!!

    Carrie_E, Sep 2025
    Had a beautiful, relaxing cruise with fins up!! My daughter & I really enjoyed ourselves watching the sunset on the water!!

    Fun times

    There was a storm coming but we got out for a little and it was nice, staff was very nice as well. We did see dolphins and some of the sunset. Did not get to sandbar

    Mark and Eliza are Fabulous

    Mark and Eliza were great boat captains and first mate, very entertaining! They ensured we had the best boat placement to view the key aspects of the trip! Eliza was so knowledgeable, but that’s to be expected since she “works at the aquarium”!!! lol!! Definitely recommend!!

    Cute boat ride + dolphins

    Rachel_D, Feb 2025
    Great little boat ride with good local details and easy ride for kids and family. Just the right amount of time out and back with snacks and drinks.

    Not as expected

    Tara_G, Jan 2025
    Crew was great. Only saw a dolphin a couple times quick when leaving the dock. Nothing as we went on. Didn’t go anywhere to see them. We thought we would see more dolphins & they would jump & play in the waves of the boat as advertised.

    Not worth

    SHAHSALAHUDDIN_Q, Dec 2024
    First Viator price was 30% higher than actual vendor, we didn't find even single Dolphin in the bay. It was cold windy and open boat was not suitable.

    The experience was great...

    The experience was great and our crew Captain Trevor and Zach were great. Patient and and looking on our safety, showed us Clearwater tour so much fun fun.

    I’m on a boat

    Simon_W, Dec 2024
    I’m on a boat line a boss So many dolphins jumping and blasting water out of they heads with good music, captain dude was stalking them dolphins like it was his job and the first mate, who I suppose was Australian because she was a mate, told us the history of every building and the tidal patterns as they affected the waterways and gravitational fields effects from moon position, especially after the hurricanes there’s big effects, and showed us the migratory bird sanctuary 1000s of birds swarmin as well as helped to get pictures for every one so support local businesses and tip. Not too crowded we all had seats and them dolphin jawns was lit for folk of all ages and profiles so go do the sunset cruise or day cruise they all worth it. Helps good working folks, helps support the environment and local communities to rebuild and prep for the next hurricanes.

    Dolphins galore

    Katy_M, Nov 2024
    Saw medical dolphins and enjoyed the narration but wish there was more. Plan to go again next year!!

    Fun in the sun

    Michele_H, Oct 2024
    This was a great experience! The crew was amazing. Beautiful ride and everyone worked hard to make sure you saw dolphins and had a good time.

    Fins up tour

    Karan_R, Jul 2024
    Great 2 hour tour. Captain Aubrey and 1st mate Sid were awesome. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Beautiful tour of houses along the shore. 2tree island was a fun quick stop. Great time

    Family fun experience

    Caran_B, Jul 2024
    If you like smaller more intimate crowds this is the experience. They can have up to 40 people on the boat but the experience was beautiful either way. Great insights of the city and yes we saw dolphins. We went on the 730pm ride.

    Great Time Dolphin Watching!

    Kathi_P, Jul 2024
    We had a great time dolphin watching with Captain Aubrey & Landon. We spotted many dolphins and the visit to One Tree Island was enjoyable. We highly recommend this trip!

    Fun time!

    Regina_S, Jul 2024
    Enjoyed our boat ride! Great crew, music, and donuts! We saw lots of dolphins. Would go again! There were a variety of ages kn board, kids to older adults. Getting on and off the boat was a big step but they were able to help if needed.

    What a wonderful time

    Cheryl_D, May 2024
    If you are looking for a wonderful tour of beautiful Clearwater Beach and surrounding area, this is the boat. We are local and what a great time we had. Dolphins, sea turtle and a huge sting ray jumped out of the water! The sunset was spectacular. Whenever we have company, you can be sure we will be a repeat customer!

    À fuir s'il fait beau temps les dauphins ne viennent pas aussi proches s'il fait chaud

    JoAnne_A, Aug 2024
    200$ pour rien pas un seul dauphin et surtout entendre le capitaine dire c'est normal car l'eau est chaude donc ils sont plus haut en mer alors si tu sais qu'on va pas les voir pourquoi ne pas annuler pour la journée c'est le but de les voir non ? Et puis au moins si on les voit pas pourquoi nous laisser seulement 10 minute sur l'île... Faites quelque chose pour compenser un minimum... Bref super déçue je n'ai en fin de compte même pas vu clearwater vraiment...
