Captain Jen and Captain Jack were incredible. Jack drove the boat while Jen talked majority of the time giving us fun facts. She was super knowledgeable and spoke so adequately. We saw a ton of dolphins! They even swam up to the boat and were able to take great pics! Sadly it was too windy so no manatees. Highly recommend this tour. Well worth the money! (Also don’t panic when you get to the dock and don’t see a boat. They will be arrive on time!)

We had a great time on our tour. Austin and Jeremy were amazing guides - they kept the kids entertained and Jeremy knew so many facts about all the different animals we saw and landmarks we passed. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Thank you so much Jen for your review! So happy that you had a great time and we can't wait to have you aboard again!
So many dolphins to enjoy!!! As soon as we pulled out from the dock, we saw dolphins, including two babies. Once we crossed to the Banana river, the dolphins were jumping and playing. A most amazing experience! Captain Jen and Captain Jack were both great. Captain Jack provided an interesting narrative, and Capt. Jen kindly allowed our three-year-old grandchild to “steer“ the boat. Very memorable experience for our entire family!

The dolphins don't come up to the surface if there is heavy boat activity on the water that day. The scenery is beautiful though.

Thank you so much Naomi for your review. We love what we do and happy that it shows. The waterways of the space coast. We do love to see our Indian river lagoon dolphins who are wary of all of the marine traffic in order to be safe. Can't wait to have you out with us again!
We took the 11am tour from the public landing in Melbourne. Parking was easy. No signage to show we were in the right pickup spot. Called Cruise Cocoa and was assured the boat was coming. The covered pontoon was festively decorated and clean . Captain John and first mate Sidney were knowledgeable and skilled. In finding the dolphins. It was a hot windy day on the estuary. Within 15 minutes we spotted dolphins. There was a pod with maybe 8-10 individuals, some juveniles. The captain followed them around. At times dolphins were breaching 6 feet from the pontoon. We continued to see them until time to return to the dock. 20 minutes were spent looking in the channel and boat basin for manatees but none were seen. Lots of pelicans, cormorants and anhingas were fishing around the dolphins also. Great 2 hour dolphin show in the wild. Crew was great.

Thank you so much for your simply amazing review! Thank you Mark as this means the world to us. We love what we do and the ability to see all of the amazing dolphins and wildlife that the space coast has to offer! Can't wait to see you again!
The captain gave us some safety and boating guidelines with humor and then shared information on the area, dolphins and other animals for 1.5 hours. She was extremely knowledgeable and kept everyone’s attention. The last half hour was light music while she visited with each group to answer any questions. Water was provided, too. I would definitely recommend this trip. The captain helped to make sure the shorter passengers were able to see the dolphins safely.
