Between 50 and 70 dolphins reside together in our bay, and by paying close attention to them over the years, we have named many of them. We know them by their unique dorsal fins and will introduce you to our water-loving friends when you cruise with us aboard The Explorer, our 40’ Pontoon Style Vessel. Dolphin sightings are guaranteed, or you next trip is free!

Perfect for families or those just wanting a Dolphin-specific cruise in Orange Beach. Our expert guides can identify many of the resident dolphins and share fun facts about their behaviors, their habitat, and their relationships within the pod.

Amazing Crew! - Thank you Lynn, Carry and Monica! The piña colada and margaritas were bomb! The crew made it a really comfortable space. I liked the way they were really caring and worried for the children since it was really hot. I was able to take a picture behind the wheel! And honk the horn! Which was awesome! Definitely saw many dolphins. Highly recommend !!!
