Dolphin Watch and Fireworks Cruise - We got to see a few dolphins and a beautiful sunset where we were able to take couples pictures and a group family photo. We listened to a variety of hit songs from today and years past. We saw a beautiful fireworks display as well. Certainly a night to remember and everyone had a great time!

This is the boat to be on! - Bring your dancing shoes, cooler and camera. Great time the kiddos had looking for dolphins. It is hard to have Mother Nature show up when you need her to but we did spot some dolphins and the experience was great. The music and vibe on the boat was amazing, the crew actually walked around and checked in on us from time to time and the music was l o u d, but not annoying loud. Great vibes and lots of places to dance. Then the night ended right in front of the fireworks barge, lots of great pics and memories, keep up the good work folks!

Dolphin Tour/Fireworks Show July 2025 - Tour was awesome. The party boat was awesome. Capt. Murphy was awesome. Dolphins were not cooperating so we only saw a couple of fins poke out of the water and 2 dolphins traveling alongside one another jumped 1 time. Otherwise, they straight up ignored us. Overall we had a great time.

Do not take this one! - The music was painfully loud anywhere you were on the boat. The base hurt your chest to listen to. Children were walking around with their fingers in their ears. Adults were complaining of headaches after only 30 minutes, with hours still to endure. Saw one (1) dolphin and only one time, jump out of the water. Saw several others, but only their fins popped above water. Fireworks, although they were very good, could be seen from shore while having a quiet pleasant dinner, which would have been far more enjoyable. I asked several times if they could turn the volume down to a more reasonable level, was told it's a 'party' boat, and the rule was to literally have the volume as high as it could go. Having the volume that high, is more of a marketing maneuver. So that all surrounding boats can hear the music, while we are being blasted out. The attitude was this is what we do, without any regard to the passengers actually having any fun. The selection of music, could not have been any worse. Most of them, had one phrase, that was repeated over and over and over and over. I felt like the selection was for kindergarten level listeners. There are better tours available, no music, so you can actually talk with people, and enjoy the view, well not being overpowered by almost techno music.
