Great Experience - The boat ride was great, awesome music, and Captain Rene(I think that was her name). Was very knowledgeable and gave great information about the area and knew all the best spots to see dolphins. The rest of the staff on the boat were awesome as well and very courteous. 10/10 would do it again.

Tuesday fireworks on the Vagabond. - This was a Tuesday night which makes it dolphin watch AND fireworks cruise. The Vagabond is a double decker boat but not huge. The top deck has bench seating . We saw a few dolphins as we cruised into the sunset and then positioned sideways for a full view of fireworks in the distance. The crew was great and the captain very informative.A full two hours!

Find a better dolphin cruise - Went on the 7:30 cruise. Saw multiple small dolphins. Not that impressive. Boarding info said not to arrive until 7:15 to begin boarding due to heat advisory but we arrived at 7:10 and boat was already full. We were the last 3 out of 5 to board.

Too crowded. - They booked more people then they have space. Even though our family of 7 arrived 25 mins early, we were the only ones that had no where to sit and the boat felt very crowded with people stepping on top of each other the entire time. No one bothered to try to help us even though I asked, we got a sad shrug, so we stood the entire trip. We did see many dolphins which was great. We would not recommend this as they over sell ensuring some passengers will not be properly accomodated.
