We loved the Sunny Lady dolphin cruise! Captain Smitty and JJ were delightful and informative. We saw a bunch of dolphins, fed seagulls, and they even let my 10-year old steer the boat. We highly recommend this experience! We would do it again!

The best part of our trip!

It was a small group but it was great. Seen plenty of dolphins. Got videos and pictures. This was our 2nd time on this boat. Loved it!

Great Trip

Great experience: highly recommend.  2nd time going out with this company and both times we’re great!

We booked a 2-hour private  dolphin tour with Matt and had an absolute blast! We were able to see many dolphins out in the  Gulf.  Matt was very friendly, flexible and easy-going. It was definitely the highlight of our trip! Would highly recommend

Highlight of our vacation!

Matt was a fantastic captain!!  We were able to see tons of dolphins, beautiful shoorscape and an amazing sunset.  Most of all, me and the Mrs. We’re able to recreate a moment 30+ years in the making.  I would highly recommended Matt and his private sunset cruise.  You will not be disappointed!!  Kenny and Susie

Great Cruise and Captain!!

Matt was AWESOME!!  We took a 2-hour boat tour with him. We saw the most dolphins together that I’ve ever seen!!  Probably 40-50 all together playing. My 3 & 5 year old grandsons loved it. It was also perfect being on a boat with just us. Would definitely recommend booking with Back Bay Charters and Matt!!

Yesterday we went for the sunset trip and we were glad that we saw many dolphins. On the bay side we could see a dolphin chasing our boat and was playing around towards the middle of the trip. Also while coming back we saw many dolphins going up and down. Suggest everyone to go for sunset trip at 5 pm

We saw dolphins

We had a great time! We loved watching the dolphins jumping and playing. Definitely will book this dolphin cruise again!

Captain Don took us out on a private tour searching for Dolphins. He did not disappoint!  He’s very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. We also got to meet “The Last of The Lake”, an unusual site. A great experience for my family
 Great memories were made!

Best Dolphin Captain Don

Our family and friends booked a private 2 hour sunset dolphin cruise with Captain Don on our beach vacation after Memorial Day and everyone had the best time! Captain Don was amazing - a very friendly and skilled captain. Our first hour was spent searching for and following dolphins around. We even got to see the dolphins play and jump in a double wake between two other boats! Boat was very nice and clean, and also spacious enough for all 6 of us to fit in the front of the boat so everyone was able to see the dolphins, sightseeing, and the sunset. Our second hour consisted of a boat ride around Ono Island and fantastic views of the sunset. A must-book for sure! Would be great for all ages.
