Not Just a boat ride - Friendly staff and cared about the customers and especially the kids ( made sure they got to see the dolphins) it was just me and my wife on this trip but we have grandkids and given the opportunity we would bring them back for this boat tour) there where two little girls and I got to see the eyes light up when they saw the dolphins jumping and that was priceless. Never felt like the captain or co captain was just collecting money - they made sure we all had an experience not just a boat ride. Thank you - it was what we choose to do as part of our anniversary of 36 years - we got to feel like kids again!!!

Lovely excursion - Great experience overall. Saw plenty of dolphins. They jumped behind the boat for a good 5-10 minutes. Even saw a baby. The boat was clean and offered drinks for a reasonable price. We got to the dock about 25 minutes before departure. There was very limited shade and it was incredibly hot. We were the second group there and waited behind the people who were there first. As it got busier more people queued up along the rope and when they eventually opened the rope to let us on the boat, the opened it from the opposite end to us so the people who came later got on the boat first and got straight to the back which is obviously where everyone wanted to be. This was disappointing as we had come early to get to the back and the guys had been walking around for a while so it should have been obvious to them who was there first. Maybe you could just let people on as they arrive. It would be a fairer system. The only other niggle is the driver spent a lot of the time pointing out bad boat drivers, I get his frustration but to be honest I don’t pay to listen to him chastising people and pointing out their mistakes to us. But these were both minor issues and didn’t detract from the beautiful scenery and wonderful experience, I would definitely do this again if we come back to the area.

Dolphin spotting in combination with fast boat - The boat trip itself was already very nice, fast boat, beautiful houses we passed, nice view of the many bridges and nice and friendly crew. Of course we came for the dolphins and we found these after some searching. They came after the boat and jumped out of the water frequently and spectacularly.

Lots for your $$$ - Cpt & First Mate were great … very social & helpful … worked very hard to make sure we saw dolphins … cruise ended up being 21/2 hrs … saw most of the bay … open ocean (the Gulf) was too rough with white caps so we did not enter there out by Shell Key … I would have loved a little more commentary about the dolphins & landmarks we saw … get rid of the awful music … it clashes with how gorgeous the bay is … $3 for bottle water to a captive audience just a little tacky … charge more for tickets … and avoid that marketing blunder … it might possibly effect the tips! … overall well worth the $$$ paid for tickets … A- experience

Racing Dolphins - We had a fabulous time on The Dolphin Racer! We saw several dolphins, had great narration, and got to see beautiful homes, as well as the beach front.

No dolphins😢 - The Captain and First Mate where great. They had a good sence of humor. And kept pumping everyone up when we couldn't find dolphins to play. We saw a couple in the distance but couldn't find them when we got there. You could tell the Captain was just as upset as everyone else. They gave us a voucher for another ride for free that never expire but we are leaving and don't know if we will be back or not.

Boat ride only. - Didn’t see any dolphins. The Captain was not very entertaining and didn’t seem much interested in finding dolphins. We were in the back of the boat and yelled dolphins and he didn’t try to get their attention just kept on driving. I would not go again with this caption couldn’t hear him either. If you just like a boat ride go on Tuesday and Wednesday. This captain was not entertaining at all.

Scam, theft and 3rac3 deception - I want to review Race roadside assistance. They're scammers. They have a tire warranty service. Site pricks you tell you to take him to a workshop arranged with them. They change you by giving the budget only to the race. Picking it up makes you pay by saying Q the Race would refund you and then it's all a lie. They don't refund anything. They also make you worse and much more expensive tires. U.theft, deception and fraud
