Great

We saw  dolphins jumping and having fun. The Captain and his first mate kept us entertained.

Dolphin Adventure

We went 3 years ago in June, this year we were there in April. Last time we had 5 runs with a lot of dolphins following the boat. This year we only had 1 run with dolphins following, at least the grandkids saw a lot of dolphins right at the boat on the 1 run. Can’t blame the boat captain, it’s just they are not that active. It was a good trip anyways

We had a great trip to Shell Key with Robin and Braelynn. They were very knowledgeable and made it fun. They gave my kids each a shark tooth which was really memorable for them.

Great trip

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. :)

We were lucky to see a lot of dolphins up close to the boat, both in the bay and the ocean. The weather was nice and the captain found good wind to fill the sails. The first mate was very cool too! Overall a great trip, dolphins, sailing, and a beautiful sunset.

Nice evening

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!

Full house

I can’t reach it my family of six decided to book a sunset cruise for the first time in our 20 years of going to Redington Beach. We met our captain, Roger at the marina. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! It was great learning about the area And learning about the different wildlife. It was also great to see the magnificent homes and hear stories about how the area had developed through the years. We went on a perfect night where there were no clouds, and there was no wind. The sunset was incredible and we even saw the green flash :-) it’s a trip to remember for my parents and my family! We will definitely be booking another with Captain Roger in the future !

The Best Sunset Cruise in the Area

What a great cruise!  It was comfortable, and intimate (only 5 of us) and Captain Justice was terrific.  We saw dolphin, manatee, and a gorgeous sunset!!!

I had a very nice time on the boat great experience and the food was amazing. I would for sure recommend this excursion.

We were very pleased with the Calypso cruise. We had the buffet which was served on the main deck so out of the breeze during dinner but enjoyed the outside breeze & cruise after dinner. We all felt this excursion was worth the price!

Very nice!!

Absolutely wonderful and relaxing. Everyone enjoyed the dinner and standing on the bow watching the dolphins and the view.

I would highly recommend booking the clear kayak tour! It was hands down the best experience. We saw so many dolphins, birds (my favorite was “Mark” and his family), and even a manatee! Our guide, Chris, was very knowledgeable and really made it a fun experience! I would definitely ask for him!!
