Took my teenager and toddler on an early morning dolphin-watching tour with Captain Russ. We had a great time from the moment we left the dock. My teenager loved hearing about the history of Lewes while riding shotgun with Captain Russ, and my toddler was beyond excited to get to sound the boat horn before we headed back in. The best part was seeing a huge pod of 20+ dolphins swimming all around the boat. It was such a cool experience to see them so close. Captain Russ was great with both of my kids and made the trip enjoyable for all of us. We'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

Diane…. thank you for the kind words. We are happy you made some great memories with you family on the water.
If you are looking for the perfect SunSet Cruise, Tide Runner Adventures is a must! The boat is magneficant. Captain Matt was easy to cominicate with, he provided detailed instructions and made sure our night was perfect. Captain Josh was waiting for us when we arrived and made sure we had everything we needed for our Sunset Cruise. The boat was, comfortable and had plenty of room for my family of 6. Captain Josh provided a ton of information about the local area (from land and see). Capt. Josh made sure we captured precious family memories, at the most beautiful area on the water. This cruise was a surprise father’s day gift for my husband. The photos will last forever. My family and I could not have had a more perfect evening. I recommend everyone book your boat trips with Captain Matt and Captain Josh!

Stacey... Thank you so much for the kind words. We are so happy you were able to "Make Memories on the Water" with Captain Josh as your host. Hope to see you and your gang again sometime soon!
look no further, our wish came true, we went out on an amazing sunset cruise along the lewes coast and saw amazing light houses, dolphins and a truly magical sunset. icing on the came was our amazing Captain Russ. The huge pontoon boat was incredibly immaculate and new and stunning inside and out. We will be back and tell others. A magical evening all around
We loved this cruise. Captain Russ was great - knowledgable, friendly, great stories. The boat was comfy and perfect size for our group of six adults. We saw so many dolphins! It was a lovely morning and really impressed our out of town friends :). Thanks Russ!
We had a really great time with Capitan Matt. The boat was very well maintained and he did a really great job accomodating us and our 4 kids. Everyone had a blast and we would highly recommend if you’re considering a family day on the water! Ashley

Thank you, Ashley... I had a great time hosting you, Randy, and the kids! Enjoy the rest of your summer!
