4 Hr – Islands/Cruise Dolphin watch - 9:00 AM on August 9, 2026 • 5 adults

We had an amazing experience with Gulf Coast Boat Tours and Captain Ben! We booked a private tour for our family of five to celebrate my wife's birthday, and it was exactly what we were hoping for.
Captain Ben was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. He made us feel comfortable from the moment we stepped on the boat and ensured we had a relaxing and enjoyable day on the water. The ride was beautiful, and spending time at Anclote Key Beach was a highlight of the trip.
What we appreciated most was how relaxed and stress-free the entire experience felt. It was the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion as a family. To top it all off, we spotted dolphins at the end of the tour, which made for a truly unforgettable finish to an already fantastic day.
Thank you, Captain Ben, for the outstanding service and for helping make my wife's birthday so memorable. We highly recommend Gulf Coast Boat Tours to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and family-friendly experience!
