Reviews of Dolphin Watch and Destin History Cruise

Too rough/wasn't 1.5 hours long
First, the boat didn't leave at the scheduled 6:30pm time. It left 15-20 minutes after. Second, the captain of the boat thought it was funny to have the bow plunging in and out of water. Many people on the boat were sea sick, and one woman next to me was extremely scared. The ride was not fun at all, because of how the captain thought it was funny to have the boat dipping in and out of the swells. I thought it would be a smooth ride, where we could enjoy ourselves and see dolphins. We saw a few dolphins, but only the fins. Third, it ended a little before 8pm. The ride was definitely not 1.5 hours long. But, I was ready to be off. This was NOT WORTH what we paid. Also, the captain continuously blowing the shiphorn at random times, was not funny. It was extremely loud, and everyone around me was tired of his crap by the end. We feel taken advantage of by these jerks. What was supposed to be a relaxing/fun sightseeing cruise, turned into a "hang on for dear life, don't puke, and hope your hearing is in tact" cruise. This made me never want to go on another sightseeing cruise in Florida. Your jokes aren't funny. And scaring people with your stupid boat maneuvers isn't funny. Your extremely loud ship horn wasn't funny. This place is awful!!

Nice and relaxing
My little family and I enjoyed the ride very much. I liked they have a roof so we are not exposed to the sun all the boat ride. They also have a cooling area, we didn’t use it but others were saying it was a nice “must have” when needed. The captain and their squad were great. Thank you for a great experience from a Texan.

Dolphin Watch and Destin History Cruise Review
My husband and I brought our kids to Destin from Kentwood, Louisiana to experience a lot, including a boat ride to go out in the water to see dolphins. We barely went out in the water, only saw 2 or 3 dolphins, and it was RAINING!! We had to wait about 30 minutes before we could leave the dock due to everyone coming in from Crab Island. Our kids were over it before we even got started!
