Relaxing on-water activity - The catamaran is a stable and smooth-sailing ride. We saw lots of dolphins. Weather was perfect. Captain was kind. Beautiful late afternoon ride making memories. I would recommend this experience.

Cocoa Beach Spring Break 26’ Dolphin Adventure - We had a family of six, so we basically had a private tour, our guide and captain was able to keep 2 teenagers and a 10 year old happy while the adults were able to relax. It was very chill, and we saw lots of dolphins.

Brian was very... - Brian was very knowledgeable, shared some interesting history, pointed out the wildlife when it could be seen. Weather was mostly perfect and we had a leisurely 2 hour trip out and back. At the very end when the wind changed and picked up, brian quickly handled the sails and rigging to keep us going.

A day on the Water in Cocoa Beach - Wonderful to have such an imitate experience on the water This is a smaller catamaran (seats?12) You feel like your on your own boat @ -21/2 hour on the water Captain is very friendly and friendly. Everyone had a very personal experience Great experience for children Signage to the dock could be clearer and prominent. Well worth the cost

Poor Communication. Poor Guide. Would not recommend! - Well, the best I can say about this tour was that it was a nice day and a mostly relaxing two hours on the water. That said, I’m not sure why this was booked as a dolphin tour and sail because we barely experienced either. For starters, Captian Nater bater (his words) did not know much about wildlife and nature. When asked about a bird formation flying above, all he could say was “those are cool” and then admitted he didn’t know what they were. He did point out the rose spoonbill, but we were never close enough to really see them. We did see a dolphin. One. Of course I realize that nature is not predictable and not a guarantee, but Nate did not seem to even try to find any dolphins. In fact, he wasn’t really a tour guide for most of the trip. He was more interested in chatting with one of the guests than actually being a guide. Then there is the sailing. I love sailing. I am a sailor. Nater threw up the sails, we were under sail for only about 10 minutes, he tacked once, then went in irons, lowered the sails and motored for the next hour. He even returned into the channel 10 minutes early to make sure that he could drive past the restaurant (FOR A SECOND TIME!) so that he could advertise the business. He wasted our time in the front end and the back end of the trip so he could advertise! Dude, there are better ways to advertise than wasting the time of your paying customers. Lastly, no where in the materials does it say that you can bring your own beverages and snacks. Had we known, we would have brought provisions! This could have been an enjoyable trip, but it was made significantly less fun because of the poor communication from start to finish from the company. Would not recommend!
