We did the sunset dolphin cruise and it was an experience I will never forget. Riding in the boat was so fun, seeing dolphins was amazing, and the views were excellent. But Captain Dan really made it the best experience. He was determined to find dolphins for us to see. He took pictures of us next to the sunset. He listened to our interests and made it happen. He was funny and very personable. He genuinely cared about making it special for us and we truly appreciated him! This was well worth the money and I am grateful I got to experience something like this. I highly recommend!

What an awesome and truly unique Virginia Beach experience! Not only do you get first hand experience flying around the bay on a workhorse watercraft of the elite US Navy SEALS, but you also get to be up close and personal to endless dolphins and some local insights and history along the way. This is a true adventure so be ready to truly experience the sea, and that means you might get a little wet depending on what you work out with the Captain. Speaking of which the true professional Captains this charter company has on staff will ensure you have fun and more importantly are extremely safety conscious at all times! The smile won't come off your face for hours, definitely a must do this summer!! Don't wait, book this now and you'll thank me later!

We had a great time!!! 100% recommend to anyone looking for something fun and a little different. We didn't get a whole lot of the Military info we thought we were going to but we really enjoyed the dolphins, going around on the water, the lighthouse, even getting wet with the cold water wasn't all that bad. So glad I found this and hope you enjoy yourself too!

This was a very nice trip, it was windy so we couldn’t go out far for safety reasons. Our captain Jay made the trip very fun and relaxing, despite having to stay inland for weather reasons. Overall very nice scenery. Oh and Jay brought a guard lion (dog) she was very behaved and guarded the boat by sleeping 🙂.

Capt. Jay is a great guide! I knew it was a good sign when the group that was returning had nothing but great things to say about their trip. I went on the military excursion experience and dolphin watching tour. Capt. Jay takes pride in what he does on the tours including a detailed and relevant playlist. The tour is not rushed at all. He even demonstrates some tactical moves, so you may get a little wet. Every moment was fun and educational with a gorgeous scenic background. I would certainly recommend his tours!
