We had an absolutely wonderful time with Best Time Cruises! The entire experience was relaxing, fun, and exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to Lynn, who truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He made a point to find dolphins and it was such a memorable experience watching them swim and play alongside the boat with us! His knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine care made the trip even more special. We highly recommend Best Time Cruises and can’t wait to cruise... More

A 3 hour nature tour did not disappoint. Osprey with fledgling birds in the nests, herons and egrets, and of course, dolphin. We had a couple of female dolphin running and jumping in our wake with a baby dolphin darting along side. The cutwater was very comfortable with an air conditioned cabin, cold drinks and lots of laughs. Also learned a good bit about the channels, coast, and history around Cotton Bayou to Perdido Bay. Captain Lynn was generous with his time, and we had a super day.

Captain Lynn is one of the most personable, nicest people you will ever meet! We went on the dolphin cruise for my daughters 18th birthday and It was hands down one of the best days we have ever had. We saw so many dolphins, enjoyed the scenic boat ride and even went for a little swim! He even let our daughters drive the boat! I could not reccomend this cruise more! So much fun! 🐬🐬🐬

Had the most wonderful day out on the water with my family and Captain Lynn! He was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, and the boat was spotless. We truly wished we could have stayed out all day. We saw so many dolphins and took in some absolutely beautiful sights—such a perfect experience from start to finish. Highly recommend! Cathy and Sal-NJ.
