Great New Year's Eve afternoon plan - Amazing experience. The captain and crew were top notch. Great scenic ride out to the sandbar. Didn't initially see any dolphin on the way out, but the ride back in was full of dolphin activity. I've done a few sunset cruises before in Key West, but this was by far way more enjoyable. Chilling at the sandbar mid trip, in what seemed like the middle of the ocean was a really cool experience. 52 passengers on the boat and we felt like we had a ton of comfortable space the whole time.

Beautiful day. Good food,... - Beautiful day. Good food, good drinks, lots of laughs, and an outstanding crew! No dolphin sightings, but the boat ride, the views, and relaxing on the sandbar makes the trip so worthwhile.

Dolphin and sandbar trip -- so nice! - We completely enjoyed ourselves on the excursion. Unfortunately, the it was VERY windy, making getting out on the sandbar a cold experience. The captain did the best she could, but you can't help the wind. We got to see two or three pods of dolphins, which was very cool. The crew was engaging and knowledgeable, and very responsive to our requests and needs. We had a great time!

Dolphin sightings and sandbar - The way the trip was described I thought you actually were in the water near a dolphin playground. Instead you saw dolphins as you drove by in the boat. There were no dolphins near the sandbar. Their description is a little misleading. Aside from that the crew was very friendly and accommodating. The lunch and drinks were good and plentiful. The weather was a little cool, and driving back the boat was going fast which had everyone freezing. Not their fault that the weather didn’t cooperate but maybe a slower pace back would have felt less cold.

Misrepresentation. - The one star is for the employees on the boat. They did a great job and their best at inspiring a fun time. But the trip is a fraud in my personal opinion states within my First amendment rights. It’s advertised as a dolphin and snorkel tour , but is just a booze cruise in disguise. Caveat emptor
