Poor

Do not recommend booking with this company. Showed up only to be told they were “double booked” and we were out of luck and not going.

Great personal tour!

Really enjoyed our private tour of the bay and seeing the wildlife! Our captain, Billy, did everything in his power to ensure we saw dolphins. When our first pass of their usual spot came up a bust, he took us to a second spot with no luck, and then a third spot—success! While on the water, he catered to our preference to see more of the bay instead of exploring Shell Island. I highly recommend using this service. The slightly higher price per person is absolutely worth not having to deal with the large crowds and stiff schedules of the larger commercial tour companies.

Private Sunset cruise

Alex, our captain, was great! He took us to a private island to a beach. He also found some dolphins and turtles. When the ocean swells got bad he adjusted our route. Very knowledgeable. Totally enjoyed our anniversary ride!

Throughout the boat ride we saw so many dolphins! It was so fun being out in the water for 2 hours. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone.
