My party of four, which contained a 90 year old, were thrilled with our experience. The weather was cooperative, and the boat was spacious and comfortable. The crew of two were amazing people. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would highly recommend it. Plus, we actually got to see a handful of dolphins. What a treat! Thank you for everything. 👍

Highly recommended this tour. The captain called in advance to confirm and adjust our times to better match the sunset. The trip was safe, relaxing and fun. Captain steered us to 2 different dolphin pods an amazing sunset and watched the drawbridge operate. Look forward to taking this tour again.

Our boat trip was cut short due to weather but the experience was unforgettable. Our kids (ages 15, 6, and 5) absolutely loved it! Captain was amazing and kept up from getting soaked in a storm. Due to storms the morning of our boat ride we were not able to see the dolphins as much as we had hoped. Great experience!

Absolutely the most fantastic day with Captain Elek! They have an awesome boat that is eco friendly and fun for the dolphins to play along with! Great for all ages! Best yet, I got to have it occupied solely by my loved ones and the amazing captain. He was super knowledgeable about the area. Buy tickets now. We then instantly followed up with sunset cruise to follow it was so fun.
