Wonderful experience - My family and I enjoyed every moment of our outing with Jolly Sailing! We saw so much sealife, loved every private beach, and just sat back to enjoy the ride in the bay and gulf. So much fun!!

Nice Laid Back Boat Ride - Really enjoyed the “private” nature of the trip for our family of 5. We were lucky in that water was calm, very clear and emerald green. We were able to see quite a few dolphin, sting rays, and a large school of Jack Crevalle. Our captain Paul was very nice and laid back and told us about all the landmarks we passed along the way. The hour long stop over at “sand beach” was a good add. Very laid back nice boat ride on a beautiful day.

Awesome experience! - This trip was amazing and well worth the money! Captain Paul was funny and was able to show us dolphins, sharks and even a sea turtle. As well as lots of interesting history and other local information. The remote beach stop was beautiful! Definitely recommend!

Best time ever and I learned so much! - This is a must do! You will not be disappointed! Of course they can't guarantee you dolphin sightings but the captain is a long term local who knows where the pods are and actually knows the dolphin's names because there are over 250 residents dolphins in the bay! (We saw a whole bunch) Absolute professionalism and knowledge of the water, waves, area, and answered all of our questions. The captain (Michael) knew so much history of the area and the two forts we saw and the naval base there. It was the perfect afternoon! Thank you Jolly Dolphin Tours for one of our family's best time! Highly recommend.

A-freaking-mazing - We took the 6 person blue angels and dolphin cruise. We got so lucky and had a pod of dolphins around our boat. We were so close! It was the highlight of our trip. Then we went to a beach and got to watch the Blue Angels fly right over us. Our guide was friendly and funny. We will definitely do it again!

Well worth the price and time - We saw more animals than expected. The weather and the water cooperated magnificently. Captain Paul was a great host and guide. He has eyes like a hawk as he spotted the manatee well off in the distance before any of us…….

A fun way to spend a few hours! - Our dolphin cruise started on a chilly Friday morning...we found a large pod of dolphins within 30 minutes of heading out. We even saw a baby dolphin..it was better than I had hoped. Paul gave us good information about the area on the way to the private beach and back. The beach had live critters on the side where the boat let us off and pretty good shells on the gulf side but the shells were rather discolored. Paul took us to look for sting rays too we saw a lot of them. It was a fun day on the water!
