Captain Mike was amazing!
1 Hour – Sunset Boat Cruise on July 30, 20266 adults
We had the best time, saw a lot of dolphins and the lighthouse was a neat experience too! Captain Mike went above & beyond, to make our trip fun, and we appreciated that! Even offered to take our group pic in front of the lighthouse with sunset backdrop.

Best Dolphin watching tour
1 Hour – Dolphin Watching Tour 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.
