• Gulf Islands National Seashore - On our Private 3 hour Dolphin Cruise with Beach Stop, enjoy a dolphin tour with a stop at a beautiful remote beach accessible only by boat. We offer this cruise by powerboat, which follows the same approximate route as the 2 hour dolphin cruise, adding an hour stop for passengers to do some beachcombing, picnicking, or swimming in the warmer months. This takes place on our 26’ powerboat tritoon, the Jolly’Ventures. Private trips only, your own boat just for your group, with Captain included.

Pensacola Bay, Santa Rosa Sound and the Gulf of Mexico are home to many pods of Bottlenose Dolphin. These wild dolphins are naturally curious and inclined to investigate boats traveling the waters of their home. Though swimming with dolphins is prohibited by law, viewing them by boat in their natural habitat is an amazing encounter. On this trip, you will likely see other marine life and shorebirds, including sea turtles, stingrays, ospreys, blue herons, pelicans, cormorants, the occasional bald eagle, and schools of fish.

This is a scenic sightseeing tour of Pensacola by water. On a typical route, we cruise along the National Seashore, and may pass by landmarks such as Fort Pickens, NAS Pensacola: home of the Blue Angels, the Naval Aviation Museum, and the Pensacola Lighthouse.
