The fireworks were not set off on time, so our boat trip was extended which was great! May want to bring a jacket if traveling at night, ocean wind was amazing but cooler. Captain Mary took good care of us and played fun music!

Disappointing Fireworks Display

Julie_D, Aug 2025
I wouldn’t book this tour The dolphins watching was spectacular ; however, it was too long, and the fireworks display was a disappointment .

Fun night with family!

Alot of stand still to watch, so it gets hot. Bring hand fan. Took infant so it was extra hot. Far back enough from fireworks that its quiet and great for the kids.

Great experience

A huge rainstorm came out of nowhere and Captain Mary forged through and found some dolphins as soon as the rain started to let up. She shared her knowledge with us and navigated us to some great photo opportunities and great view of the fireworks.

Great time

Sunset and great staff! I wish we were up closer to the fireworks when they were going off. Xxxxxxxxxcx

Relaxing except for the music

Kathleen_S, Jul 2023
A nice excursion if you want to float and look for dolphins. There was very little narrative beyond real estate values of coastal homes and mating habits of egrets and dolphins. Lots of hard rock music. Beautiful sunset and nice breeze. It was 2.5 hours. No bathroom or beverages as described by Host in response to other feedback

Family Cruise

Brad_W, Jun 2022
Our family, which ranged from four-years-old to eighty-nine-years-old all had a wonderful time! Captain Jack and Dawn made the evening very enjoyable!

Loved every minute of the tour.

Lara_W, Jul 2021
I loved the tour . We saw a pod of dolphins and a beautiful sunset and fireworks. Their was a storm moving in behind us, but we managed to get everything done before the storm came.

Fun for the entire family!

Melinda_P, Jul 2021
This was our second trip with Captain Mark and Becky. We had a great time and saw a lot of dolphins on this night cruise. Becky had plenty if new information and facts about dolphins to share this trip. It was nice to see the Fireworks from the water. Definitely would recommend this trip.
