Blake and Dan were very accommodating. The trip was fun and although I didn't except it to be, it was very informative.

Boat cruise fun

Todd_B, Apr 2026
Great cruise guys did fantastic the only issue is for people knowing where to go and if they are in the correct spot.. the name of the cruise is different from the payment app.. I heard many people ask if they were in the correct spot.. not a major thing but something that will help the experience- thanks for everything

See sharks, dolphins and more!

Margaret_P, Apr 2026
Fun captains, good mixture of people on the boat. We saw a shark being caught by a fisherman and several dolphins. The clouds at sunset was spectacular.

Thank you for this great review!

Nice relaxing evening

Daffney_M, Apr 2026
Nice relaxing evening. Relaxing atmosphere and the hosts do their best to find doplphins. Drinks are provided. The only “complaint” I have is that the site says no parking fees but that’s not true. We had to scan in to park ( which was cumbersome because it doesn’t give a confirmation) and I think it was around $10 or so to park. That’s fine but don’t advertise that is it is free.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for the review!

Having fun with the dolphins! A must do in FMB!

Mindy_T, Apr 2026
We had a great experience on the sunset dolphin cruise with Captain Dan! There was plenty of room on the boat, and he and Forrest made the evening a lot of fun with their humor and knowledge throughout the evening. Highly recommend this excursion!

Weather Awareness

Danielle_C, Apr 2026
Our family got off the boat due to weather related concerns, we asked to change our tour to another date when it wasn’t raining and thundering but were told since the charter went out regardless of weather, we wouldn’t get to reschedule or receive a refund. This was disappointing as we were really looking forward to this excursion for our family.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

We are sorry for your inconvenience. As to the weather it did Rain and Storm prior to our departure but did move away and at a safe distance. We will never proceed with any of our tours when there is a safety concern. As for rescheduling you we were sold out for the next several nights so there was nowhere to move you to. Our weather patterns in Florida are much different than other parts of the US as it could be bad weather in one area but completely clear and beautiful in our operating area. Our Captains are very experienced at watching the weather via satellite and eyes in the sky watching the type of clouds and the movement of them. We as a company practice safety first above all else!

Cruises to find dolphins. Stopped at sanibel lighthouse to take a pic. Then watched the sunset and cruises back. Saw dolphins going and coming back!!

Wonderful trip except for the parking

Debra_R, Mar 2026
This is a very nice activity. The boat is comfortable, the staff friendly. A great way to see the the sunset. The only problem is parking which no suggestions given, was quite expensive. Also, you have to give the parking firm a lot of of your data to use the lot, let alone the price to park $$$$! An unpleasant surprise!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for the review of our tour! Unfortunately parking is beyond our control as that is charged by the Marina. There is nowhere on Fort Myers Beach that does not charge for parking.
