The Captains were fun and gave info on landmarks as we went. They stopped and took pictures for anyone that wanted the sunset or bridge in the background. Very stress free and fun outing.

Carly_C, Jul 2026
We come to FL every July for a “mom-cation” to take a break from life. We had the absolute BEST time with Paul and Chase on the Sunset/Dolphin Cruise. They were absolutely amazing and made it the best time even with starting with some rain. The 30 min stop at Shell Key was great and beautiful. We highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear your mom-cation included such a memorable experience with us. We're so glad you enjoyed the cruise. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back next July!

Rachael_W, Apr 2026
The cruise left late, and we felt rushed as we tried to race to the island to see the sunset. The crew asked "Do you guys even want to go to the island?" We only saw 2 dolphins as we were leaving the dock. Would not recommend this particular cruise.
