we booked a 2:30pm cruise but the weather was questionable. Got upgraded to sunset cruise at no extra charge and it was so beautiful. Crew and captain were attentive and fun. Saw dolphins but we were there mainly for the boat experience! It was the favorite thing we did all week!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Carolyn, we are so glad you were able to join us. We love to hear you enjoyed your cruise. We hope to have you join us again soon.

Relaxing cruise. Multiple dolphin sightings, and the crew put the sails up for a while. Watching the birds dive for fish was interesting as well.
Response from Host, May 2026
Samantha, we love hearing you had such a lovely time aboard the Cetacean. We hope you can come back and see us again soon.

Great staff. Friendly and helpful. Beautiful day and large boat with tables.
Great for a short activity. Can pair with other activities or beach day. We all loved it.

Probably not going to see dolphins. We were supposed to leave at 2:30. It was 3:25 when we left...back and ordering dinner at the grill by 4:25. Advertised as 2 hr trip??
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Melody- I’ll address your review in the order it was written- You most definitely did see Dolphins, they were plentiful during this trip. The trip is advertised as a one and a half hour Dolphin & Sailing Cruise, departing at 2:30 and returning on schedule at 4:00. We do offer 2 hour cruises, however you chose the one and a half hour cruise… that is not our fault, the fault is yours for making the wrong choice. Have a good day!

A relaxing trip with friendly staff and lots of dolphins. 12 of us in our party. We had a great area to sit and enjoy chatting while looking for dolphins.

Thank you for joining us! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience and appreciate you acknowledging our
amazing team. We hope to see you again soon!
Kelly_N, Aug 2025
I expected to "Learn about the local environment from your captain". Instead, we just sailed to find dolphins and sailed back. Besides the music, it was a slow, quiet ride. I will not be returning.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hi Kelly, I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with the sailing experience. The Eco Tour might have been a better fit, as it's an educational tour that showcases the area's wildlife and history. The cruise you chose focused on sailing and dolphin watching. We'd love to invite you back for a free Eco Tour—please give us a call if you're interested.

This an excellent boat and an excellent crew. Everything was in the bay, so the conditions are great for riding around and just enjoying the scenery. They say there’s just a few Dolphin that live in the bay so for our captain to be able to find seven Dolphin swimming in a pod and spending 30 minutes watching them it was quite the adventure.

Very clean and organized experience. The staff were all great and friendly. If we spotted dolphins they would stop so we could watch, and they brought us to multiple spots for viewing.

Crew was outstanding, engaging the children and very attentive. Would highly recommend for a value packed break from beach and pool. Kiddos enjoyed this sunset cruise! When dolphins appeared the little kids jumped up and down and squealed with delight. Thank you for helping build precious memories. ~Vest Family
