fishing trip

This was the best fishing experience I have ever had.  Once we got to our first spot we caught fish after fish.  Poles never sat still.  The moment we hit bottom we had to reel in several times we pulled up two and 3 at a time

The crew was great and made sure everyone was catching fish

The service, food, and entertainment was good. My husband’s ordered the crab cakes and he wasn’t all the way pleased with the crab cakes. They were too salty and too much filler.

Good

I enjoyed everything about it. It was my wedding anniversary and my husband and I got tipsy, danced, sung, ate & watched fireworks. What else could you ask for?

Food was great but sure was a serving only ( the serving size definitely was different from mine

The staff of the boat was very attentive and accommodating to everyone onboard.  They helped celebrate an upcoming wedding and allowed the younger kids be the captain.  Due to a slight shower, they also handed out a poncho. I would highly recommend and definitely would do another tour with them!

Worth the Money

We debated between the daytime or sunset cruise and opted for sunset. It was breathtaking. We saw so many dolphins and they were so active. The guys on our boat are I and the captain made it so much fun and were very entertaining. They were so great with the kids and let them drive the boat and take pictures. We have adult kids but really enjoyed watching that. All in all, highly recommend. It was a wonderful couple of hours.

So much fun! So many Dolphins
