Great personal trip with up close encounters. - We got to the location and they were ready and knew our reservation when we walked in. Very friendly staff. We ended up being the only party on the boat and it was fantastic! They had a drink and donuts for each of us as promised. Going in the offseason I didn’t think we would see that many dolphins. But I was wrong. Dawn was our captain and almost right away we found a small pod just playing around in the inlet. We watched them for almost 45 minutes. All the while Dawn was explaining to the kids different facts about the dolphins, wildlife, and the island. This trip was quite a bit more costly than others like it but it was well worth the added expense for the personal experience that we received. Highly recommend this trip!

THE BEST dolphin cruise on the Island, hands down. - What a wonderful experience brought to life by our wonderful, personable and knowledgeable Captain Bev. We not only loved the comfortable craft deftly piloted by Captain Bev but seeing dolphins 5 minutes into our cruise and then throughout the cruise was too much fun. Then, as we were meandering back to the Marina, a dolphin swam right up to us, dove under the boat and resurfaced on the other side and swam along the side of the boat, turned sideways and looked right at is as if saying..."can you see me now". We could have touched her smiling face. Good doughnuts, wonderful time...and will not be the last time.

Great cruise that was personalized for us - The captain was great at finding dolphins and letting us have time to relax and watch. He made it fun for all of us-which included a two-year old, Four-year old and 12-year old.

Fun trip! - Dawn was a great and fun boat captain! She was very knowledgeable about the area and we learned a lot. Only disappointment was with the misleading ad offering coffee, bloody marys, and mimosas which were not available as advertised.
