It was a beautiful day and Captain Joe was professionally and outgoing with his attitude, sharing his knowledge of the area. We had a one year old and he made us feel safe. He went above and beyond for us to experience dolphins We recommend this private tour to everyone of all ages!

Captain Jason was wonderful! We learned much about the ecosystem and enjoyed having the dolphins show off while following the boat.
Tracy_C, Apr 2026
We had so much fun! Captain Joe is a great guy to chat with and knew a lot of things about the area to share with us. He did a great job. We would definitely book with this company again.

Bring towels, bathing suits and sunscreen. A big cost for shells would be helpful too. We ended up with lots of shells and a whole sand dollar. Dolphins that were riding the wake was a unique experience.

Not to long with kids and very enjoyable with Captain Jack. Weather was perfect and we saw man dolphins.
Anthony_V, Apr 2026
Captain Joe was the best. Taught us plenty showed us plenty and was very attentive to any needs or questions. We even got to see dolphins swim with us.
Luke_S, Apr 2026
Captain Kevin was excellent. Our shelling/eco trip was very enjoyable. Our kids loved it! We saw some dolphins, osprey, and collected lots of shells.
Becky_B, Mar 2026
We ended up seeing dolphins and lots of birds. Captain Joe even told us the names of all the shells we picked up on the local beach. His enthusiasm for the local ecosystem was palpable and I really appreciated his expertise. He also got us near some playful dolphins that chased our boat for a bit. Was very fun and relaxing!
Anthony_L, Mar 2026
We saw lots of wild life and the boat captains were congenial and knowledgeable. They were sensitive to the needs of our grandchildren.

Our guide was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and entertaining. We were surrounded by dolphins for most of the trip. Such a memorable experience.
Leonard_P, Feb 2026
Capt Joe was terrific! Found a mom and her baby dolphin and they played with our boat. He was an expert on the region and showed us a great time!
Mary_M, Jan 2026
Captain Joe was so fun, upbeat, and friendly. He made sure to engage with the dolphins which proved successful - they loved to play and it was so fun to watch them. Great ride. Great stop at an island with options. Wonderful to be on the water.
Matthew_M, Jan 2026
It is exactly as described. Luckily we did see dolphins. We saw them quite a few times. They were playing in the wake making for great pictures.

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The only problem was that the “captain” of the boat didn’t arrive until after ten and we really were worried that there had been some confusion about the time and place. This would need to be addressed before we recommended this trip to others. That said, he provided us with an excellent opportunity to explore the area and was very informative. He also was very helpful in getting me in and off the boat because I use a cane. When I asked my son-in-law if he enjoyed the excursion he said “I loved it!” We all agreed.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m glad to hear you and your family enjoyed the excursion and that your son-in-law loved the experience.
For clarity, I arrived at the meeting location on time and sent a text message about 10 minutes prior to departure to confirm where I was parked. Unfortunately, cell service at the dock can be unreliable sometimes, and the message did not appear to come through. We were able to connect shortly after by phone and resolve the confusion.
I appreciate your kind comments about the tour and am always happy to assist guests to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Thank you again for choosing 4thstorycharters.

It was a private tour for 6 which included my husband, my son and daughter-in-law, and my two grandchildren. Our boat captain was knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great experience.
Bobbi_B, Sep 2024
We had an amazing trip with Jason! We decided to do a private trip because we had a 7 month old with us and we were not disappointed at all. Jason was very professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating! We saw dolphins, spent time on an island, and enjoyed a beautiful day from the boat. The 2 hour trip was just long enough for us and we highly recommend it!
Carol_M, Aug 2024
Jason was very accommodating and we great views of both Manatees and Dolphins. Made sure we enjoyed ourselves.
Katrina_L, Jun 2024
The trip was amazing. We did an afternoon tour and saw manatees, collected shells, and had dolphins race the boat on the way back. I would highly recommend this tour for any couples wanting a private experience instead of a large group.
Sandra_K, Mar 2024
We had a great, relaxing afternoon boat ride. We saw alligators and dolphin and Captain Jason was fun. We loved stopping at a private beach for photos.
Erin_B, Jan 2024
Captain Jason provided an excellent experience exploring 10,000 Islands NWR on his beautiful boat! We saw dolphins, manatees, alligators and countless birds on this tour. This was perfect for our family and offered a quieter, more intimate way to explore Florida's beautiful outdoors with a knowledgeable guide. Would highly recommend.
