    Great experience

    We had a fun trip. The captain is friendly and great with kids. All 3 kids, ages 7-12, enjoyed the ride, swimming, and a quick dolphin spotting. We will be back next trip for fishing.

    Great People and Tour!

    Captain Donnie and His wife Anne were Amazing. So kind and answered all questions. They became a part of our group while we floated around the bay and seen dolphins on our Sunset cruise. Truly an experience that was amazing and I would highly recommend Team Vinson!

    Fun Family Outing!

    Capt Donnie and his boat were such a highlight of our vacation! He took us to a beautiful cove to swim and hopefully see dolphins (they weren’t there this time). Then went over by Fort Morgan to see the dolphins there, and thankfully a couple decided to play while we were there. It was a blast, and our family definitely recommends this trip to anyone looking for something fun!
