Dolphin Watching Tour (4:00 PM) on April 13, 20262 adults
Chad was such a great captain who made our trip perfect! The music was great and conversation even better! We saw so many dolphins, but the best was a ship coming in and the dolphins were riding the waves! So incredible. We were allowed to bring our dog and she loved it! Would recommend this type of dolphin watching trip over any other! Thank you Chad and we hope to join you again in the future.

Sunset Boat Cruise (7:00 PM) on June 2, 20253 adults3 children
We had the best time on our sunset boat trip! Captain Chad was awesome—super friendly and made the whole experience easy and fun. The view was incredible, and the smaller, more intimate boat was such a nice change from the big crowded ones. Our kids had a blast, and honestly, so did we. Would definitely do it again next time we’re in town! Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a fun and relaxing evening on the water.

Great Dolphin Tour!
Dolphin Watching Tour (5:30 PM) on July 24, 20253 adults2 children
We chartered the boat to search for dolphins with our two small children. Liam was our captain and he was fantastic. He knew all the tricks and spots on where to find dolphins. The highlight was watching the dolphins jump in front of the tankers coming into the channel. Our children (3 and 5) thought it was awesome! We will definitely book with this group again.

Chad was so nice and he made every effort to get close to the dolphins. It is a private family ride and my granddaughters loved the trip. My phone died and he got his charger set up for me so I could continue taking photos. Thanks Chad for the special tour and local inside information!! We will see you again, the Wimberley crew.
