Great, shorter excursion option with a fun crew! - We took this tour with our kids, 10 and 6. Our captain's Jim and Justin were fun, informative and engaging. They even let us stay out a little longer than the allotted time to try to look for more dolphins, which were a little elusive the day we went but we eventually did see some, in addition to some manatees. We appreciated the hour long cruise option which was more affordable and manageable for our schedule than many of the 3-hr cruises with other companies, as well as the bathroom, drinks and snacks available on board. My only suggestion would be to provide clearer instructions on how to find and get to the ticket booth from the street. We didn't realize it was up on the boardwalk. But we asked someone in a shop how to find the shark boat and found our way from there. Overall we'd definitely recommend this cruise!

Excellent - Dusty and his first mate (can’t think of her name) were fun and informative. Loved how they made it fun and exciting to see the dolphins. Did not give up on finding them. Great with all the kids on board. Took family pictures for us. It was an excellent experience.

Not just for kids! - It was just us three sisters in our 50’s and the only one without kids on the boat but we had the best time with Jim and Grace on this Shark Boat! We saw lots of dolphins and pretty quickly into the trip, we even got to see a baby dolphin a few weeks old, soo cute! No matter what age you are, you gotta go, it’s the coolest boat on the water! We went on another larger boat in Clearwater a few days later and the experience was not even close.
