Great! Outstanding tour! - Outstanding tour! I always pick Red Boat trips when I have company because they always strive to offer a wonderful experience. I think in the five years I have selected Red Boat it has always been my friends and family one of the highlights of their Florida trip.

A terrific outing for our senior center! - Our senior center reserved the entire boat for a special outing for our members. They simply could not have had a better time! TJ and Dave were most accommodating with walkers and wheelchairs and provided our group with a memorable experience. In addition to seeing plenty of dolphins, we saw and were given lots of fun facts about other historical St. Augustine landmarks as well. They are already talking about going again!

Great sunset cruise - The captain and the first mate did an excellent job. They only take 10 people per tour. So it was not iver crowded. Very friendly. Bonus we saw dolphins on the sunset cruise.

Loads of dolphins!!! - Always a great time with Red Boat! We have been out with them 6 or 8 times and love it every time. Sunday, we saw the most dolphins ever! They were feeding on the mullet, working together and tossing fish in the air. Tons of osprey, too!

The reviews were correct… AWESOME!!! - What a wonderful day. The dolphin were putting on a show. We saw several pods. The Captain was very personable and knowledgeable. The boat was so nice. I thought, because it was so affordable, that it might not be that great (others were more expensive) but it got great reviews so we decided to chance it… it was WONDERFUL. The reviews I read were correct! Thank you Red Boat!!!!
