You gotta do this with your kids! - Captain Zach was very knowledgeable
, friendly and helpful. He found several pods of dolphins for us! We had a great time and will definitely do this tour again when we come back to visit. The private tour dolphin experience is definitely the best way to see the bay/ gulf. Don’t miss out this memorable experience!

We love Captain Zach!!!!!! - He went above and beyond for our group, so friendly, and very knowledgeable about marine life and the area! We saw so many dolphins, swam around shell island, and went to a hidden beach Captain Zach knew about that you have to reach by a short trail. He even walked us to it! Would definitely recommend him to anyone and definitely coming back to do this again! Our group had a blast!!!! Thank you Captain Zach!!!!!

Grrat family expierence<3 - I went on this tour with my two kids hoping to see wild dolphins and get my kids to learn outside of a class room. Captain Zach did not disappoint. He new all the dolphin spots and we saw so many. He talked about the dolphins, but he didn't over talk. The trip felt personal and relaxed.

Perfect! - Captain Zach's tour was so much fun. We must have seen 12+ dolphins, and Zach even showed us an area to see sea urchins. It was a pretty cold day, but we were bundled up and loved every minute.

Captain Zach is cool guy.... - Captain Zach is cool guy. His tour is on a smaller 24' boat with only 6 passengers. It is intimate unlike some of the larger charters. He takes you to shell island and to look for dolphins and a tour of the bay and edge of the gulf. It is 2 hours long and well worth it.
