Fun Cruise - We booked the 10am tour and had such a great time! There was complimentary coffee, juice, and danish! The crew were very friendly and the guide was very informative pointing out different landmarks and animals on our route. There were multiple pods of bottlenose dolphins which were amazing to watch and got some great photos when they came up near the boat! We sat on the top going out and below on the way back and the views were great for both. Highly recommend this cruise!

Fantastic experience - My boyfriend and I booked the 10am tour and were very pleased with the experience! The morning tour offers complimentary coffee, juice, and danishes which was nice. The whole crew was very nice and friendly and the guide did a great job pointing out different landmarks and animals on our route and was very knowledgeable of the local history and landmarks. We were also lucky to come across a pod of bottlenose dolphins and had an amazing time watching them swim around! They came up very close to the boat too which was amazing. The boat itself was also nice with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Overall this was an amazing experience that I highly recommend if you're looking to see some wildlife and learn a little more about some of the interesting sights around Cape May.

Exciting dolphin watching cruise - My daughter and I went on this excursion as part of our first trip to Cape May. The trip was very enjoyable with the guide giving some historical information about Cape May and pointing out many significant buildings and natural landmarks. When the dolphins appeared it was very exciting. We got to see many of them both in the distance and close to the ship. My daughter said it was the highlight of the trip and I'd highly recommend it.

Great Experience - From our reservation to boarding and to disembarking, the staff was very friendly. The trip was very nice, saw a few dolphins, and learned a lot about Cape May and the dolphins. The sunset was breathtaking. I recommend the tour.

Perfect family activity - I booked this for my family and it worked great for all ages and stages. The marina was neat and the free parking is right next to the boat. We showed up early and walked around. The 6 pm boat ride was absolutely beautiful. We caught the sunset and saw many dolphins! The naturalist who gave the tour was very informative and didn’t talk the whole time. The food was good and worked better than expected. We have a lot of picky eaters, kids, etc, but somehow the free pizza and hot dogs went down with no complaints. You can buy fountain drinks onboard and some souvenirs. Bring some cash to tip the crew. We’ll be back!
