    We’re not local, so we asked for some restaurant recommendations from our Captain, and our lunch stop after was great. Make sure you wear plenty of sunscreen (especially places like tops of your thighs, feet, etc), and have sunglasses and/or hats for everyone in your party.

    Dolphins Galore

    We had a perfect morning for our cruise. Captain John was friendly and very accomodating. My ten year old loved being First Mate and getting to steer the boat. We saw so many dolphins and got some nice shells (including one with a hermit crab, we later discovered). Everyone in our group had a great time. 10/10 would recommend!

    Smooth Trip + Dolphins

    Captain John was a wonderful host! Our group enjoyed a smooth, relaxing two-hour boating experience, and we were lucky enough to spot a small pod of dolphins along the way. John was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond by letting us use his phone for music when ours would not connect. Highly recommend!
