This was mainly a dolphin tour with very little history. Everyone onboard ended up a little wet as well.

Meant to get on historical cruise but ended up on dolphin cruise. Still was fun. The guide was fun and so good with the kids letting them set on the captain seat with him

Our captain Ben was very personable and informative. He was very knowledgeable about the area and history and able to answer any questions we had. 45 minutes seemed short, it could’ve been a little longer.

This was the second experience with Captain Adam, the other one being the dolphin watch a few years ago. I wanted to do something special for my husband's 75th birthday and knew that the historical your would be perfect!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Happy Birthday to your Husband. Thank you both for coming out and sharing your special day with us. We hope that you will be back again to take another historical tour or maybe check out our haunted harbor ghost tour.
