They were absolutely amazing! We got to see lots of dolphins! The captain was amazing with kids!! I 100% recommend! They also took us to the island of birds!
The ride was literally so cool, i’ve been on other dolphin cruises across Florida but this was the best one Ive ever been on💗 The dolphins followed our boat for over 3 miles, right next to the boat almost the whole time! The Captain and Ashley were so sweet and made the trip so fun! Highly recommend, if they get close to the boat make noise!!
WOW! What an incredible experience! Let me first start by saying we just went on 10/15/25. I realize it is off season and there were a total of five of us on the boat! It felt like our own personal adventure! Captain Christian and his first mate Ellie were amazing. He is a local with family ties to St. Pete and also the owner of the boat. The weather was great and we saw quite a few dolphins! We even had a show of a few dolphins jumping out of the water!! The boat was clean, offered snacks , adult beverages and non adult beverages for reasonable prices. There even was a bathroom ! If you are ever in the St. Pete pier area I highly recommend doing this excursion! Also a portion of the price of the ticket is donated to local charities!!! Thanks for a great time on the water!!!
An Unforgettable Family Experience! In June of this year, our family had one of the best vacation experiences, while visiting Florida—and we owe it all to Captain Christian and his amazing First Mate! From the moment we stepped aboard, their kindness, knowledge, and thoughtfulness stood out. They made the entire cruise both entertaining and educational. We were lucky enough to spot dolphins, a variety of local wildlife, and even a surprise appearance from a shark in the bay! The boat was well-equipped for all ages, with snacks, drinks available for purchase, and—parents take note—a clean, convenient bathroom on board (a huge plus when traveling with little ones!). One of the highlights for our daughters was getting the chance to sit in the captain’s seat and help “drive” the boat—an experience they’re still talking about. Captain Christian's upbeat personality and deep knowledge of the area and it's animals truly made this cruise exceptional. Thank you for giving our family memories that will last a lifetime. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll absolutely be booking again!
Booked this tour last minute and it did not disappoint! Captain Christian and Ellie were accommodating and so much fun, would definitely recommend! He even kept us out a little longer to ensure we saw even more dolphins, was a great touch!
