Worth the money!
2 Hour – Dolphin Watching (1 PM) on August 22, 20262 adults

Captain Donny was great! There was just 2 of us, and Donny did a perfect balance of professionalism, but still casual and engaging. I liked how he was ok with apapting the dolphin tour to also include to swim in the sandbar. He also provided local recommendations which we appreciated. I recommend Donny for anyone wanting a bit of an intimate setting!

awesome experience
2 Hour – Sunset Cruise on August 17, 20263 adults1 child

Captain Donnie was awesome—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. Our son is autistic and has talked about going on a boat for years, so we finally took the opportunity to make it happen. We were not disappointed! Captain Donnie made the experience comfortable and enjoyable for all of us, and we had a great time. It was a really special experience for our family, and we would absolutely recommend him to others.

Fantastic sunset cruise with family!
2 Hour – Sunset Cruise on June 29, 20265 adults1 child

I booked a 2 hour sunset cruise for my family. It was my 4 year old daughter's first time on a boat. Captain Donny was great with her. The bay water was choppy so we stayed in the Lynnhaven Inlet, which I was perfectly happy to do. It was a beautiful and relaxing ride. We will absolutely be booking another trip with Donny. Highly, highly recommend!!
