So fun for families. Drink water, wear cool clothing. We saw tons of dolphins and a manatee! Go in the cooler part of the day

The Captain and his co have a horrendously, hilariously, horrible welcome. They walk out and yell, “I’m sick of taking people to the ER, drink water and don’t get dehydrated!” Then they went on a very detailed, frightening story telling journey about yesterday while all the customers just sit with our mouths hanging open in kinda shock. However, we then take to the water and both men light up and become friendly, informative, and work their hardest to help everyone experience the dolphins of the gulf. They were very good at educating and the experience became beautiful! So yes, I highly recommend! And NO, no one dehydrated on our trip.

This is an amazing experience!! Worth it!! Seeing the dolphins enjoy the waves is really neat! Would do this again!

Captain Zach and Matt were amazing and we got the best dolphin experience!! The kids loved it and it was a great time!

It is a pleasant boat ride out to the gulf. They work very hard at making sure we have a great dolphin experience and we did. They also are very attentive to making sure everyone is comfortable and hydrated. Thanks

I was extremely disappointed with this dolphin cruise. Had I known there would be nearly 100 people packed onto the boat, I never would have purchased tickets. There was no clear advertising indicating just how crowded the boat would be, and with virtually no shade available, the experience was miserable in the Florida heat.
We had a group of 13 people, and because of the way boarding and seating were handled, our group wasn’t even able to sit together. We were split up throughout the boat, which made the experience even less enjoyable.
The boat took a long time to leave the dock, seemed disorganized, and struggled getting in and out of the slip. They sold bottled water, but the promised cold wet towels for cooling off were really just rags with a few ice cube in them. Unfortunately, they even ran out of ice during the trip.
The dolphin portion was also disappointing. Rather than actively seeking out dolphins as advertised, it felt like the boat simply drove around and hoped dolphins would follow behind. We did see some dolphins briefly, but the large fin structure at the back of the boat obstructed the view for many passengers. I was seated only a few rows from the back on a hot metal bench and could barely see them at all.
I’ve been on other dolphin cruises in the area that were far better organized and provided a much better experience. This trip felt overcrowded, poorly managed, and did not deliver what was advertised. I would not recommend it, and I strongly encourage the company to be more transparent about passenger capacity so customers can make an informed decision before purchasing tickets.

We have been on this tour before and loved it. This time it was just ok. We saw lots of dolphins, but it just seemed a little boring.
Lavonne_C, Jul 2026
The crew is awesome and you'll have a fantastic time . The price is unbelievable for two hours on the water

It was fun! You do need sunscreen and it’s hot before you get underway. Once you’re moving you’re fine. The dolphins were not interested and just feeding. The captain and first mate were really trying. And finally near the end of the trip they were jumping right by our boat and we got great videos and pictures! It was so cool!!
Kristin_H, Jun 2026
Could not guarantee, dolphin sightings 100% but worked so hard to provide the experience and in the end we saw mini dolphins
Fran_E, Jun 2026
Even though the dolphins were not many we did see a few. It’s not guaranteed that we see them but the boat ride was fun. We enjoyed it anyway.
HECTOR_P, Jun 2026
Great time the staff is wonderful people they don't want you to missed a thing because they make sure the time you are there is worth it
Jack_W, Jun 2026
Steep gangplank, bring sunscreen. Fun time and friendly staff. Affordable and easy to book. May want to bring a seat cushion for bleacher style benches. Overall very enjoyable even though we didn't see many dolphins, however, there was a mother and calf pair that entertained us for a while.
Cindy_H, Jun 2026
It was amazing seeing all the dolphins. I would highly recommend. Only thing I would recommend fixing was the radio, it kept cutting out when they would talk to us.
Bruce_O, Jun 2026
Captain Matt and JC were great and had great sense of humor. Safety first discussion, then all about dolphins and the area. Great music. We observed two pods of dolphins... very entertaining and fun. Great value for the money. Thanks for a great experience Captain Matt and JC!
Nicole_D, Jun 2026
Brilliant tour, lasted about 2 hours, they knew their stuff about dolphins, the surrounding areas and buildings and we got to see plenty of dolphins (including a baby). It was brilliant and we will definitely be doing it again! 100% worth the 2 hour drive.
Thank you!

Tgis was truly an Extremely fulfilling experience. My partner and I will book this cruise again Great Captain

All positives for our experience! Captain Pat was very knowledgeable of our surroundings giving insight on much we were seeing. His skills driving this big boy were excellent. He expressed that our dolphin viewing was not up to par but seeing a dolphin jumping the wake is a memory we’ll always have. We will be taking family and friends who visit on this experience. A+++++
Lori_N, Apr 2026
Mat, 1st mate greeted us and gave us a little intro about the tour, introduced Captain Pat who gave us more information, safety do’s and dont’s and a lot of history along the way. We got a fantastic show going and coming from several dolphins, a family with a calf jumping alongside and great video! Weather couldn’t have been better😎 Highly recommend!! Love your sense of humor, Pat! (you handled the couple eating the subway sandwich and elbow out remarkably well) 🤦♀️

JUDITH_L, Apr 2026
Great ride looking for dolphins! Got to see them in the wake of the boat. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable about the dolphins and the area. Would highly recommend!
Frank_B, Apr 2026
This is by far the best dolphin tour in the Clearwater/ St. Pete area. The staff is very friendly and they don’t over talk the entire tour. Also you may get wet in the back of the boat but it is the best seat . You can see the dolphins up close and personal. Almost close enough to touch.
Lindsey_W, Apr 2026
We had the best time on this excursion. The ride was fun and the guys that took us out were great. The captain was informative and funny and had great taste in music. Worth the money and time. It was a blast! Oh! And we saw lots of dolphins. 😄
Chasity_K, Apr 2026
Captain was funny and entertaining! It was a gorgeous day and had the best time seeing all the dolphins in the wake! Best thing we did all week! Would highly recommend doing this. If I come back I will definitely do this event again.
Elizabeth_K, Apr 2026
Great fun! Nice guys running it and we completely enjoyed the trip. Saw a bunch of cool dolphins lunging out of the water. Really thrilling.
Ashley_K, Apr 2026
So polite, so beautiful and definitely worth the money! We ran into a search and rescue while on our trip which cut down on the experience they said but I was not disappointed at all!!!! To top it off they, without hesitation, willingly gave everyone a non-expiring ticket as long as they are in business for the inconvenience… they definitely get a 10 out of 10!!!! No inconvenience honestly and so beautiful
Nancy_M, Apr 2026
Amazing dolphin sightings! Safety explanations were thorough, Captain was friendly and talked about the area, went over to a boater who held up a child to make sure they were alright. Water and soft drinks are for sale and there is a head aboard.
Zelresa_G, Apr 2026
A great time with family on the ocean! Great hosts, lots of information, good music, jokes, and dolphins jumping in the waves!! Had a great time!! Will definitely go back again!!!
