We saw plenty of dolphins! The vessel was modern and clean. The ride was so smooth! The 2 bathrooms were clean & easily accessible! Nick, Joey and Morgan made this tour even more amazing with great navigation, commentary and friendly service during the entire experience. I highly recommend it!

    Great value. We saw some dolphins. Great view of the bay. Witnessed the sun set and the moon rise.. The boat was very clean, on time, and the ride was great. We were very satisfied with the trip. And the crew were extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. I would recommend this to any family or travels to this area.

    Christopher_S, Jul 2026
    The crew did a great job sighting the dolphins even when the wind was making things difficult. Thank you for the experience.

    It was ok

    Jessica_D, Jul 2026
    It was ok...didn't see any dolphins. Boat was crowded, and didn't have any history or info shared while on the cruise.

    No Dolphins

    Angelia_M, Jul 2026
    You may see the dolphins or you may not. It is not a guarantee you will see them on your ride. We had kids that were expecting to see them and they did not.

    It's a nice experience...

    Very Family Oriented

    Kristy_W, Jul 2026
    There's plenty of places and things to do with family you really don't have to leave the resort. I wished I would've known that before booking.

    Not worth it

    Staff friendly I'm.the beginning and not during trip. One of the staff was on her phone the entire time and not helping..the older woman .the young lady was great

    Dolphin cruise

    The captain was good. I didn’t think the 2 workers who were on the boat engaged with riders or looked for dolphins. They seemed distracted with their phones.

    Sunset was beautiful. We didn’t get to see a lot of dolphins, next time, mornings are better, after 6:30 they hide! Staff was very friendly, boat was clean.

    Sunset views from Baytowne

    Amber_L, Jun 2026
    We definitely saw dolphins. The pace and energy of this tour was definitely slower. Better for older couples, nice sunset views. We had young children with us and I think the Destin dolphin cruises are more exciting and clearer water to see more of the dolphin. Captain Morgan was great with the kids. The assistants seemed to be very uninterested in their job, poor picture taking, low energy. However, since we were staying in Sandestin- it was definitely convenient to just drive there in a golf cart. If we went again, I would just make sure we get drinks at the bar before we board.

    Beautiful sunset. Great...

    Beautiful sunset. Great captain and staff. Smooth ride on a gorgeous boat. We don’t see dolphins but it was still worth the trip. Absolutely perfect conditions.

    Great ride

    Lainey_H, Jun 2026
    The boat was clean, the crew was good. I was pretty disappointed with the dolphin sightings, we saw dolphins it was just not what we were expecting. We would see a fin or tail here and there. Last dolphin cruise I went on, they were right by the boat and jumped out of the water continuously and was well worth the money. But it was in Destin.

    We actually got to see...

    Alexis_S, Jun 2026
    We actually got to see the dolphins, the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable! Would definitely do this again.

    We had a wonderful time...

    EMILY_L, Jun 2026
    We had a wonderful time on our sunset dolphin cruise! The boat was beautiful and the crew were friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend this for a relaxing time out on the water. The tour would have been well worth the time and money even if we hadn't seen dolphins. Thankfully we saw plenty of beautiful dolphins though! The whole experience was so memorable and was a highlight of our vacation.

    Not Ideal for Beach Time

    Jeffery_R, Jun 2026
    Beach access very small and in front of dirty brackish lake that leaks into gulf making water a nasty rust color. ice maker in unit broken, they could not fix. Unit directly over pool, couldn't even see the beach.

    Will return soon

    Eddie_H, May 2026
    Captain Morgan does a great job! This was our 2nd time out with him. Definitely the best experience in the area

    We only saw 2 dolphins,...

    Gina_E, May 2026
    We only saw 2 dolphins, the boat will not go far enough to be able to watch more. We were disappointed, maybe another day will try again

    Excellent experience

    Sunsets beyond our expectations

    Jane_S, May 2026
    The sunset kept evolving into different colors and shapes. The cruise was Wonderful, and the crew were helpful with answering questions and helping to spot any dolphins.

    Gorgeous Sunset Tour

    Cathy_S, May 2026
    It was really enjoyable. We did start out almost 20 minutes late, but that was absolutely understandable and fine. The crew was helpful and hilarious. I believe everyone on board had a fabulous time. There is a gate that blocks off the entrance to the docks that doesn’t open until the catamaran is ready to receive passengers. The check in station before the docks was supposed to be staffed 30 minutes before your cruise time, but no one was there. If this happens, simply walk down the docks to where the iron gate is and security will direct you where and when to go. We saw two dolphins and a breathtaking sunset. I have to say all in all it was a fun experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone just for the sunset alone. A few important things to note: 1. There is a small gap between the boat and the dock. But someone is available to help assist you across. 2. Check-in is 30 minutes prior to your cruise, but you may have a wait before you’re actually checked in and boarded — depending if the last cruise went over or they needed to gas up. 3. There are two bathrooms on board. But no other facilities such as a bar or drink station so be prepared to bring your own snacks and drinks. 4. Bring sunglasses! It’s quite bright with the sun just starting to set. Also, ladies, you’ll want your hair up to keep the wind from blocking your view with your hair. 5. A light jacket or wrap once the sun sets is a need for those who chill easily.

    The crew was wonderful...

    We had an amazing time, the dolphins provided an amazing show and the crew was more than pleasant! Definitely book for sunset, you get two shows for one great price.

    Great dolphin watching!

    JimJancik, May 2026
    Staff was attentive and worked hard to meet everyone’s expectations to see dolphins. Will definitely recommend.

    Awesome

    Sandra_M, May 2026
    It was lovely I had a blast. This is a must do on your vacation! The sunset was phenomenal! Worth every dime!

    Great boat tour!

    Margaret_B, Apr 2026
    We weren’t fortunate enough to see dolphins but we had a beautiful boat ride through the bay. Captain and crew were very friendly and charismatic.

    Wonderful time!

    Rachel_K, Apr 2026
    If you get Captain Morgan, you're in great hands. He does whatever he can to make sure a good time is had by all! The crew was great, the music was great, the dolphins were great, the sunset was great. 10 out of 10 hands down!
