Great Overall Experience - Great overall experience. Shaded boat in the Florida sun, Captain James and the crew were great, & we got to see dolphins and other wildlife aside from learning a little history.

Most fun of St Augustine - Best excursion of our trip to St Augustine hands down! The crew were very knowledgeable about the town and the maritime history. Everyone on the ship enjoyed the adventure and the children had such a great time playing pirates ☠️ 😀. I would definitely recommend this adventure to anyone who wants to be truly entertained.

Mother and daughter trip - My daughter and I had a great time on the boat tour. It wasn't crowded, we had enough room to walk around if needed. We were able to see several dolphins up close. The ride was relaxing and we enjoyed our time. I would definitely recommend the tour.

Enjoyable Great Dolphin tour! - This is the third tour we have taken and thoroughly enjoyed them. This trip was to see dolphins and St. Augustine. We traveled from Lake City to St. Augustine and had to reschedule the trip time due to traffic and construction. It was no problem. We brought along a friend who was visiting from France. She also really enjoyed the hour and a half tour. David, the captain, was awesome, knowledgeable and funny. We left a bit earlier as everyone was aboard. We returned a bit earlier to avoid serious lightning and rain. Water was offered and Roy helped us with pictures. We were able to see several pods along the way. We highly recommend this tour company. See you at Christmas.

Great excursion - A beautiful day for a boat ride. We saw a few dolphins, the lighthouse and enjoyed being under the covered area. It was a gorgeous day and we will totally go back again.
