Lots of dolphin... - Lots of dolphin sightings, as well as some of the super pretty historical sightings. The sightings were much better viewing from the boat then it was on land. The captain was great and super informative without being to talkative so your able to soak it all in, in a laidback atmosphere.

Pleasantly surprised - Saw dolphins annd beautiful birds, along with breathtaking sunset views. Our guide was engaging and informative, with both adult and children. When we searched sunset cruise it was fully booked, so we took a chance on this one, and so glad we did. Would highly recommend!

Sunset, Dolphins, and good company - It was a beautiful night with the captain and his son. The sunset couldn’t have been more glorious! The dolphins we saw were feeding too.
Captain is quite knowledgeable about St Augustine history. It was an awesome experience! Thank you.

Family Trip - We would love to get a voucher to do the trip again! Unfortunately, storms rolled in and our trip was shortened! The captain was awesome! Just didn’t get to see the sea life since the storms were coming through and we had to cut the trip short! Thank you, Cindy Byrne
