Fun Dolphin Cruise - Although the weather was not great, we had a fantastic time on our Dolphin Cruise with Matt. He was fun and kind and able to find us many dolphins. One even followed the boat jumping out of the water. Thanks Matt!

Awesome! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Captain Matt was great! He took my family of 6 out to see dolphins. It didn't take long before he found a pod of about 7 cute dolphins! We got to watch them play and do a few flips. They also followed our boat and played in our wake, super cool!!
Thank you Captain Matt for being so friendly and taking us out!

Matt is the best! - Absolutely loved our dolphin cruise. Captain Matt was wonderful and so easy to work with when the weather wasn't optimal he reached out to us rather than us having to contact him and scheduled a better time. He spent attention to detail and worked to ensure we had a great experience. Would definitely book again!

Highly recommend this dolphin cruise - It was last minute when we booked the cruise and weather was not really great. Matt was honest and knowledgeable making the most of our time. We really enjoyed our trip and still saw many dolphins. He even got one to do a full jump out of the water for us. Highly recommend!

So much fun - Captain Matt was very nice, and took us to some beautiful spots where we saw many dolphins swimming and showing off their fins and tails! Then he took us to an island on the bay where we swam and snorkeled with gear he had. He let us play our music and enjoy our time being silly on my bachelorette weekend. We had a lot of fun and would recommend to a small party.

Jumping/playful dolphins and breathtaking sunset! - This was the BEST cruise that my family and I have been on. Captain Matt was so fun! He was able to find the dolphins and we also got a tour of the surrounding area. He is so knowledgeable, and the experience far exceeded my expectations. It was worth the money to take a private cruise! I highly recommend! We ended with a gorgeous sunset and lots of fun memories! If you are on the fence, do it! It is worth it!

Would not recommend - First off, let me say that we booked a tour with him in 2022 and had a great time. This year I booked a private dolphin cruise again for last night for my daughter's birthday. While loading into the car to head to the cruise, I fell off the curb and broke my ankle. I am a nurse and immediately could tell it was broken. While waiting on the ground for the ambulance to arrive, I called Matt to explain the situation and let him know we obviously wouldn't be making it. This morning I reached out to him and sent pictures of my xray and asked if we could be refunded ($460 is what we paid). Matt told me it was not "fair for him to loose out on the money" so he would not refund us. I again asked for at least a partial refund and he offered a $150 credit towards if we book with him in the future. Obviously we will not ever use him again. We are going to likely be out 1,000s of dollars on medical bills and an impending surgery and the right thing for him to do would be to offer a refund or at least a partial refund to a repeat customer since this was a freak accident I had no control over. Very disappointed.
