BEST TRIP EVER!!! 🛥️

Back Bay Dolphin and Nature (AM)2 adults

We had an incredible charter today with Captain Lynn Truelove, and we can’t recommend him enough! The boat was absolutely perfect for our family. There was plenty of room on the back deck, complete with a built-in cooler, so everyone had space to relax. Inside, there was a comfortable dining area where we could cool off, enjoy lunch, and take a break from the sun. The refrigerator kept all of our drinks and snacks cold, there was a bed where our toddler could have easily napped if she had gotten tired, and the restroom was surprisingly spacious (which definitely came in handy after all the drinks!). The trip itself was even better than we expected. We saw countless dolphins and an incredible amount of local wildlife. Captain Lynn was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much about the waterways, marine life, and the area we were exploring, making the trip both fun and educational. We enjoyed swimming at beautiful local islands, watching dolphins all around us, and ended the day with a drop-off at Shipp’s Harbour Grill, which was the perfect way to finish an amazing day. What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was Captain Lynn himself. He was fantastic with our child from the moment we stepped on the boat. He was patient, kind, engaging, and made sure she felt included and safe the entire trip. As parents, that meant the world to us and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy the day. If you’re looking for a private charter that’s family-friendly, relaxing, educational, and just an all-around unforgettable experience, Captain Lynn Truelove is the one to book. We will absolutely be back!

    Wonderful 25th Anniversary Cruise!

    Dolphin and Nature Cruise (PM)2 adults

    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 with them again:)

    Awesome day on the water.p

    Dolphin and Nature Cruise (AM)3 adults

    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.

    Response from Captain

    Best Day Ever

    Special Occaison Cruises6 adults

    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! 🐬🐬🐬

    Response from Captain

    hey Randy Thank you for the wonderful review. I enjoyed my time on board with you and your family. It really was a special day for your daughter‘s 18th birthday and in addition to the birthday celebration the dolphin showed up on time and played with us just as everyone had hoped they would.  I wish you and your family the best and I hope to see you again in the future in Orange Beach aboard Best Time Cruises.  Captain Lynn

    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.
