Step aboard Dolphin Connection Ingleside, a 2004 Bay Stealth 2030 BSVL Center Console, and experience the Texas coast like never before. Departing from Ingleside, this versatile vessel welcomes up to 5 guests, making it perfect for families, friends, or couples looking for an unforgettable day on the water. Powered by a reliable 150 HP Yamaha outboard, the boat cruises smoothly at up to 25 knots, ensuring both comfort and excitement throughout your journey.

Your experienced captain, Kelley Burnett, knows these waters inside and out and specializes in dolphin watching, eco tours, scenic boat rides, and breathtaking sunset cruises.

Whether you want to relax on the bow sundeck, enjoy the shade under the bimini, or spot playful dolphins in their natural habitat, there’s something for everyone.

The boat comes equipped with all the essentials for a safe and enjoyable trip, including GPS, VHF radio, life jackets, an anchor, and easy wheel steering. You’re welcome to bring drinks—including alcohol and red wine—and children and pets are more than welcome aboard, making this a truly family-friendly adventure.

We do require our passengers to be in fairly good physical shape as you will be stepping down into the boat to board. If you can't walk up and down stairs or get up on your own off the floor, then you should book a bigger boat.

From peaceful coastal exploration to unforgettable wildlife encounters, your day on Dolphin Connection Ingleside will be one to remember. Don’t wait—book your trip today and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!

Wonderful experience
2 Hour – Close Encounters on February 27, 20262 adults
My daughter and I came for a gymnastics meet and wanted to find something we could do the morning of her meet. Captain Kelly was amazing. There was a dense fog when we had it booked and she called me to postpone it until the fog lifted. It was great communication. She called me about an hour later, told me it had lifted and waited a good 45 minutes for us to get there. We saw some amazing pods, she even told us about the shrimp boats and we watched them pull their shrimp in. I highly recommend taking this tour if you get a chance!!

Captain Kelley did an outstanding job of making sure we were able to see the dolphins! This was a first for us and we were not disappointed.
