Harmony, Aaron and Alan(?) We're fantastic! We had lots of dolphins to see. It was the highlight of the week!
Thank you for joining us. We love to hear you enjoyed your time with our great crew. We hope to have you join us again soon.
I was a bit disappointed that we only saw 4 or 5 dolphins and they did not stay around very long. It was considered a dolphin sighting. The staff was incredible though 10 out of 10! This made it so much fun for my family.
We are glad you enjoyed your time with the crew. Come back and see us again soon.
We saw a ton of dolphins and had a bunch of fun! The crew was super friendly. Would definitely do it again!
Lindsey, we are so glad you enjoyed your cruise. We hope you can visit with us again soon.

I've been on quite a few dolphin tours, this was hands down the absolute best one I have ever been on. Capt Smitty and his crew were awesome. We saw non-stop dolphins for 2 hours.
Dianere, thank you for joining us and sharing your wonderful experience. We love that Captain Smitty and Crew showed you a great time. Come back and visit with us again soon.
The tour was very well done. Weather was great. Boat was clean and comfortable. Located an area that had lots of dolphins and birds to watch. Staff onboard were friendly and accommodating. Only "complaint" is the tour was billed as a 2-hour tour, but we returned to port after only 90 minutes.
Cathy, we are happy to hear you enjoyed your cruise, please give me a call to discuss the time issue. We appreciate you joining us and hope to have you visit with us again soon.
I've been on a few dolphin tours, but this was best. One of my grand daughters told me she counted 56 dolphin site'ings. We even saw several baby ones. Crew was fabulous!
Jeanne, thank you for joining us. We are so glad to hear the Crew took good care of you. And wow 56, that’s awesome. We hope to have you join us again soon.
Everything was excellent! It was rainy, so they provided ponchos. The boat was covered. But it was so nice to have to option to go out on the deck and not be wet.
Marsha, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your cruise. We hope you can come visit with us again soon.
