What people said about boating in Gulf of Mexico
- 5.0/5(4 Hour – Dolphin/Sandbar Tour - 2:00 PM)
Amazing Animals!
It is a little risky rain wise and it got cloudy but we actually liked that because it made it not unbearablely hot. The animals were really active and that was what we were looking for! The water was warm still and enjoyable to be in. We went from 2:00-6:00 and it was the perfect amount of time. We got to swim, see animals, take pictures, and cruise around.
- 5.0/5(2 Hour Tour – Sandbar-Dolphins-Fun - 2:00 PM)
An absolute blast!
Be prepared for traffic on the island, especially during tourist times. We went for Labor Day weekend so it was pretty busy and not a lot of parking options. Accommodate enough time to arrive early

Great trip to charter, awesome Captain and very comfortable boat!
It's hot, but not as crowded as other times of year. The water and place is basically beautiful though.
- 4.7/5(Sandbar & Dolphins 4hr (AM))
Met our needs flawlessly
Get there early as parking is a pain and you'll need your cellphone a d a credit card to pay for parking. The boat dock is attached to the oyster bar and public pier. Use bathroom before you get onboard.

if at all possible- use a professional guide/captain that knows the area and can maximize your experience

- 5.0/5(3 Hour Trip – Bar Hop (PM))
The Highlight of Our Family Vacation!
If you can, book your trip in the morning! Florida’s afternoon rainstorms can pop up quickly, and we found the morning to be the perfect time to be out on the water. - 5.0/5(6 Hr – Multi Activity)
MUST DO ADVENTURE!!
Take the boat trip! My husband expected more beaches down in the keys but that’s not really the case! Taking the boat out was so much more fun and worth the investment and time!

Corpus Christi has a great bay area. Easy to navigate around that area. Wear a cap, plenty of sunscreen or camouflage arm and face.
- 5.0/5(4 Hour – Boating Adventure (AM))

Ask your captain what variety of opions exist (sandbar, snorkeling, sightseeing, etc) then share what sounds best to you - they are very accomodating!

We did a private charter for 11 on this boat and 3 of the people were under 3 years old. Loved that there was a bathroom on board.

Amazing!!!
We did a 4 hour trip and it was just perfect! starting of with 2 hours of snorkeling at Sombrerro reef, we saw 4 sea turtles, spotted ray, barracuda’s and much more.

5.0/5(Custom Combo Trip - 6hrs AM)Dauntless is awesome
We were first time lobster fishermen and Capt Janis was amazing teaching us and fishing with us all day. We saw puffer fish, a manatee, tarpon, a conch, many many colorful fish, and an abundance of lobsters. Her equipment is good and our mascot ( her pup ) watched out for us all day.

we had a relaxing half day on the water! Captain Kenny was a great captain, asked us when we started what we wanted our trip to look like and then took us to a couple of different sand bars to float around and relax.
