Dolphin Chase on a cloudy and cool day - The cruise was great. The captain went out of his way to make sure we saw dolphins in. Maya was very informative on everything we saw. We loved it and recommended it.

Awesome excursion! - This is great for friends, families, couples, and everyone in between! Mary, our first mate, and Captain Carson were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and entertaining! There were several little ones on board and Mary made sure they were included and engaged. She was educating us too on several dolphin facts. Carson and Mary are a dynamic duo!

Great Dolphin Day! - Mary was an amazing “crew director” for our dolphin watch. She was funny and engaging. We saw MANY dolphins along the way. They were putting on shows too. I have never experienced that many dolphins on a tour like that before. Our captain was excellent too. Highly recommend! You will NOT be disappointed!!

beautiful tour to take in the evening to enjoy the sunset. - We booked this tour through Viator a few days in advance. The team communicated ahead of time that the departure time could change or even be canceled due to weather. Our tour ended up being moved to an earlier time the day before. I did receive a couple of different text messages about the start time, which caused a little confusion on my end, but the crew communicated well and kindly waited for us before departing. The address synced perfectly with the GPS to the departure location. Parking was free and available right by the dock area, although note this will likely vary during peak tourist season. The tour itself was lovely. We had beautiful weather, and the crew was attentive and knowledgeable, sharing interesting history and stories about the bay throughout the ride. We saw dolphins and were able to capture plenty of videos and photos. This would be an especially beautiful tour to take in the evening to enjoy the sunset.
