We came in with a group of 9 and had a great time. Capt John and his crew were amazing and knowledgeable. We saw plenty of dolphins  and he even let the kids steer and honk the horn. He even stayed out a few minutes after time to head back to make sure we saw as many dolphins as possible!

Great trip and even better staff

What a wonderful and exciting journey. We had a fun team of people on our trip and the capt & co-captain went above and beyond during our voyage. So much fun and will definitely do it again in near future.

Best capt/co-capt

Dolphin chasing to be sure but no harassment of them at all.  A little difficult to see the dolphins in the water due to poor visibility but we did.  Took our 8 year old and she liked the t but not for a smaller child.
All in all it was  a good experience and the  captain “coach” was really nice and knowledgeable!

Dolphins in the wild

Capt Kyle was great. Would have liked more time by the dolphins versus by the beach/rocks  snorkeling

Good Captain

One of the Best family fun experiences

So Much Fun!

Six of us went on the dolphin / snorkeling tour with Captain Rob. We had an absolute blast. He helped us find dolphins and got us close enough to them so that we could jump in and swim with them!  Then he took us to two snorkeling locations and they were full of fish and sand dollars. I would definitely book this trip again!

We actually did not get to ride the Ohana sailboat, as not enough people signed up for the tour. Because of that, the company offered to rebook us to the Privateer catamaran sunset and dolphin sightseeing tour instead since it was our last night there. Whereas the Privateer tour was just fine, and we still enjoyed it, we would’ve preferred to have had the more intimate setting that we had originally booked.

Rebooked Tour

Absolutely wonderful!  Our crew. Jeremy & Jamie, created an experience to be remembered. The boat and the entire evening was way beyond our hopes. We’ve been on other  dolphin tours. The Ohana (means family and we were treated as such) was way beyond anything we’ve done before. The actual highlight of the 7 years we’ve been coming to PCB!  There should be a special level of 6 stars for exceptional experiences - this cruise was at that level. We will definitely do it again

The crew was amazing.  Was very attentive to our wants and needs.  A wonderful evening on the water.   Will do again.
