Great dolphin watching experience in SPI - Captain Pavi was an excellent host for us, our 12 year old daughter and our friend with her 6 year old twins. We saw dolphins and they road in our wake!!

Great experience - Wonderful way to get to see dolphins up close. Saw several pods & a pretty young baby. Captain got a couple to surf behind the boat. He was very friendly & knowledgeable and I felt perfectly safe in the small boat in the gulf! Will definitely do it again in the future.

Lame - First boat trip I ever took where I was given zero safety instructions. As someone who’s been in a boating accident, that was very discerning. We were given minimal amounts of historical information. Boat broke down and there was a giant barge heading straight for us. Trip was cut short pretty much in half by The boat breaking down. Guide was not informative and a little cocky.
