Deserves 6 Stars!!! - If you're visiting Melbourne put this on your list of things to do! I've been on many boat tours/cruises but this is the first time I've ever truly felt compelled to leave a review. Captains Jen & Jack are the best! They balance entertainment and knowledge perfectly! We saw dolphins, manatees, diving pelicans, cormorants, etc. Their knowledge of the area made this an exceptional experience for us! Highly recommend this and we would actually go again!

Dolphin Show - We took the 11am tour from the public landing in Melbourne. Parking was easy. No signage to show we were in the right pickup spot. Called Cruise Cocoa and was assured the boat was coming. The covered pontoon was festively decorated and clean . Captain John and first mate Sidney were knowledgeable and skilled. In finding the dolphins. It was a hot windy day on the estuary. Within 15 minutes we spotted dolphins. There was a pod with maybe 8-10 individuals, some juveniles. The captain followed them around. At times dolphins were breaching 6 feet from the pontoon. We continued to see them until time to return to the dock. 20 minutes were spent looking in the channel and boat basin for manatees but none were seen. Lots of pelicans, cormorants and anhingas were fishing around the dolphins also. Great 2 hour dolphin show in the wild. Crew was great.

Wow, the captain knows her stuff! - The captain gave us some safety and boating guidelines with humor and then shared information on the area, dolphins and other animals for 1.5 hours. She was extremely knowledgeable and kept everyone’s attention. The last half hour was light music while she visited with each group to answer any questions. Water was provided, too. I would definitely recommend this trip. The captain helped to make sure the shorter passengers were able to see the dolphins safely.
