Awesome Tour - We were lucky enough to see a Whale! - We had a great time, saw a seal, dolphins, and a whale! We stayed a little longer as there was a whale siting. Captain took us there and it was awesome! Thank you for a great tour!

Great day trip! - My friend from CO came to visit me in DE and we decided to make a day trip going to Cape May. It was so easy to park and hop on the ferry to Cape May. We didn’t take our car because they have shuttles that take you to the shops downtown. Loved the unique shops, had a great meal at one of the many restaurants then came back to Lewes. Looking forward to going again this summer. You can spend as much or as little time as you want.

Wonderful experience - Saw tons of dolphins! The crew seemed to work very hard to find whales (perhaps getting tips from other boaters and moving to different areas?). Near the end of our tour we raced to one last area and saw a humpback. We idled nearby watching for a while. Made the 3 hour trip an extra hour but we loved it! Very nice crew, clean boat with lots of options for seating (in, outside, upstairs or downstairs). Can't beat the price! Would definitely recommend.

We got to see about 20 dolphins and a whale breech! Couldn’t ask for more! - Friendly staff and wonderful experience! We drove the coast from South Carolina all the way to jersey and couldn’t have found a better place than this 1!

Must See! - Such a beautiful experience. My family and I went on this cruise in September, we saw many dolphins, the most beautiful sunrise and learned so much about the area. I would recommend this cruise to anyone in the area. This is a must, worth every penny and more! Plan on doing this next year. My small children loved this as well!!

A great experience - We were very impressed with this tour. It was my first time seeing beautiful sea animals where they belong in their natural environment. The Captain was good at letting us know about sightings of marine life of all kinds and the history of the area. I recommend this as a must do activity.

Hanging with the dolphins - Never saw so many dolphins up close. It was beautiful to see them in their natural environment, the captain was very informative, and his passion for wildlife was evident everybody on the boat worked together to spot dolphins. It was fun, memorable, and I’d probably do it again and hopefully this time catch glimpse of a whale
