Clearwater Dolphin Cruise

Fun day!

No complaints at all. Tour guide was fantastic

Dolphin watch

Fun, plenty of space on boat, friendly crew, nice coverage of gulf, easy boarding. Was pressed for time because it was a little difficult to find parking, someone in the parking lot mentioned asking for a voucher to park. Other than that, a great time

It was relaxing, fun and friendly! Garrett did a great job, considering he'd only learned the job the night before. He took us to where the dolphins were and we were treated to seeing several different pods and 2 baby dolphins as well.
Worth the cost and very easy to book online.
Well done, Garrett

Overall fun experience. We  understand that nothing is guaranteed but more dolphins and less celebrity homes would have been nice as it was marketed as a "dolphin cruise".

Overall fun experience

We were pretty happy with our cruise despite the fact we didn't encounter any dolphins.  We all enjoyed thy scenery.  I only gave it 4 stars due to the fact we live very far away and probably won't be able to use the "guarantee". But besides that very fun.

Fun time

Got us out to shell key quickly and allowed us to see a dolphin pod on the way back in

Smooth ride in

The Hubbard team were very thoughtful and helpful. The trip on the boat was relaxing. Shell Island has a small sand beach surrounding it which is not crowded at all. The water is crystal clear and a nice warm/cool temperature. We found some nice shells but you will need to swim at least 6 feet out and snorkle dive to reach them. Truly enjoyed the entire trip. Highly recommend. :)

Great Place to relax

I will do this again. It was beautiful and there were shells galore1

My wife and I were tabled with several other couples from various states. All of us seemed to be matched well. The buffet was very good as was the entertainment with music and dancing. The waiters were very attentive and did great. The only downside was the rain prevented us seeing the sunset but overall the time spent was well worth it

My wife and myself were extremely pleased from every aspect of the trip. Can’t wait to do another one

We had a very relaxing, nice time on the cruise. The captain and his mate were awesome . However, next time I will book in the winter months due to the evening rains. Unfortunately there was no wind at all and the sunset kind of sucked that evening! All out of the crew's control, of course! I'll definitely go again!

Sunset cruise

The sunset cruise was nothing less that extraordinary!  It was fun watching the captains control the sails and work as a team. They were attentive, without being over-the-top. They interacted with the guests, took pictures and answered questions. But they also gave the guests time to have their own intimate experience. There was ample time to watch the sunset and the cruise back to the marina was almost as spectacular as the ride to the gulf. The sun had set, the colors in the sky were amazing, and sailing by million dollar mansions was the cherry on top. I one-hundred percent recommend this experience.

Worth Every Penny!

We had a fabulous time. The trip was BEAUTIFUL. Would definitely do it again !
