It was absolutely amazing! I got the dolphin tour for my husband's birthday and I have to say it was well worth it. The captain and his team were wonderful. Very knowledgeable and kind. Watching the dolphins play with a jelly fish was really cool. They also had refreshments and snacks. I would definitely do it again.

The crew is friendly & knowledgeable about the sea life and wildlife. Great sense of humor from the Captain! Comfortably equipped boat and the tour was beautiful seeing St Augustine from the water. I give it a 10 all the way around! Great price point too.

Ride was ok. Thought I would learn more about what I was seeing but really didn’t. Just rode a little then turned around.

So much fun and super nice staff! We went for a bachelorette and felt like they truly cared about us having a good time and it was amazing weather
Betsy_F, Feb 2026
The staff were delightful! Captain James and his entire crew waited on us to ensure that our journey was comfortable and fun! They even located several dolphins for us to see.
Craig_F, Nov 2025
The captain and crew were very friendly and enthusiastic. The boat had plenty of room to move about. The complimentary drink and snacks were a nice feature with our whole family aboard. The crew members were always available for questions and were helpful in locating dolphin activity. We were able to view the dolphins up close to the boat as well as from afar. We were very pleased with this experience, and would definitely recommend it to others!

This was such a fun way to experience the intracoastal waterway and see some dolphins. The captains and crew were so friendly and it was just a fun, relaxing way to spend an afternoon.
Jim_S, Sep 2025
We expected more information as the tour took place. Yes you could find crew and ask questions, but would have been a better experience if it was a guided cruise with information given during cruise to everyone about surroundings, history, culture and son on.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Hello, Jim. We regret that you had less than a fantastic time with us. While many St. Augustine boat tours do give narration from start to finish, we offer something a bit different. Our tour gives those guests who wish to hear about the history or learn more about the wildlife the opportunity to ask as many questions as they like of our crew. While those who wish to enjoy the scenic ride with the sounds of the breeze, the waves and the birds can do that as well.
We hope you enjoyed the views of the Castillo de San Marcos, the St. Augustine Lighthouse, the Great Cross and of course the dolphins! We hope to take you out again in the future!

So awesome. We left the dock on time, the crew was so positive, polite, helpful and social. The beverages and snacks onboard were the perfect refreshers. The length of the tour was perfect as well. We were lucky to see so many dolphins. The crew helped spot them easily and shared information about the local dolphin pod which was so neat.
Kevin_R, Aug 2025
Disappointed dolphin cruise was canceled due to weather. Very happy they offered us the sunset cruise in exchange, even though it was more expensive. Staff was super friendly, as we're the guests. Would go again anytime!
Carrie_B, Jul 2025
Wonderful crew. Amazingly clean boat. We enjoyed the dolphin tour and highly recommend it as a relaxing way to view the harbor.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for the review, Carrie! Our crew works hard to keep the boat and equipment in tip-top shape, thank you for noticing! We are so glad you had a relaxing trip on our Dolphin Watch & Harbor Tour! Please join us again!
Warren_S, Jul 2025
Awesome crew!!! Cool boat ride. Not crowded so lots of room to walk around and sit different areas of the boat. Cost was reasonable.
James_C, Jul 2025
This was a very relaxing ride with an experienced crew, who
were also very friendly and accommodating. It wasn’t a narrated tour which, frankly, made it much more enjoyable.
Daria_A, Jul 2025
Great experience, attentive friendly crew, not crowded. Thank you, we had a good time sailing and would recommend to our friends

Laura_C, May 2025
Excellent and very friendly Captain and Crew! We were able to see a few dolphins and have a few cocktails. Great time!

It was a beautiful day in the water. Knowledgeable hosts, great to see Dolphins swimming next to us. The kids loved it.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for the review, Zina! We are so glad the kids were able to experience the dolphin swimming about! Please join us again!
Christine_B, May 2025
Delightful. Great crew! Complimentary snacks and beverages. Easy access bathrooms! Plenty of covered area.
Tonya_B, May 2025
We really enjoyed sailing with this crew!! The boat was clean and roomy. There was shade if you want out of the sun. We had complementary wine, beer and soda. The crew was friendly. The scenery was beautiful. We didn’t see any dolphins this time but it was still fantastic!! I would highly recommend it.
Elizabeth_H, Apr 2025
It was nice and relaxing; we were told via the description to meet at the happy blue bird but likely we figured out thats not where to meet so I would recommend they change that; the description also said that there would be historical commentary but there was none. I didn’t mind it as it was very relaxing and staff was great!
Dennis_P, Apr 2025
Enjoy the atmosphere of sun, water, and drinks. Make sure to take sunscreen. The crew were excellent and very informative. Great interaction with us and others.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you for the review, Dennis! While there is a covered area on the boat, bringing sunscreen is an excellent idea. We are so glad you enjoyed interacting with the crew! You are welcome back anytime!
LeNedda_E, Apr 2025
Great pricing and easy reservation process. Dont forget to do your waiver after purchasing to save time on dock. The crew was amazing and offered drinks and snacks. It was sooo relaxing to just sit and ride and crew were available for questions, but it was not a full audible ride which I actually appreciate the peace and quiet.

Very nice tour of St Augustine by water. The dolphins added to the show. The staff were fabulous! Friendly, helpful, Smiles all around. Captain Andrew was very informative. They just all seemed to be happy with their jobs. Made the trip fun and relaxing.
Roxanne_C, Apr 2025
Be patient! It may take a bit to see the dolphins...but they are there! Crew members were awesome. Relaxing too!

Don't expect any narration. Nice boat, good crew but the 90 minute trip didn't include anything "historic" and was more of your typical dolphin watching trip.
Zachary_C, Mar 2025
The boat ride was fine. The captain and crew were friendly. We were disappointed that there was no narration about the history of St. Augustine. I guess we misinterpreted the title of the experience to mean they would tell us about the ‘historical harbor’ not just cruise around it silently. Fortunately, we did see dolphins. So there’s that.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Hello, Zachary. We regret that you had anything less than an amazing experience out on the water with us. We hope you were able to take in the incredible views of the Castillo de San Marcos, the national monument that is over 400 years old, the St. Augustine Lighthouse and the Great Cross which was erected to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the founding of St. Augustine! We are pleased to hear you saw dolphins and that you enjoyed our captain and crew. We hope to have you back out in the future!
