We could not recommend this experience more! We saw dolphins close up, our boat ride was clean and comfortable!! We had so much fun! We will Def book this again. Don't miss out! You will not be disappointed!

The highlight of our trip!!!

Matt found 4 different dolphin pods for us to view, 14-16 different dolphins over a full 2 hour time period.  Great videos and pictures!  So glad we did a private charter for our group of six.

Capt Matt was welcoming and extremely pleasant. Dolphin siting was one of my family goals. And he did not disappoint.  We wanted a relaxing sunset cruise and we got it.  Highly recommend

We had a blast on our 3-hour excursion! Definitely the highlight of our trip. We spent about an hour snorkeling and seeing fish, crabs, and moon jellies. We then took a ride out through the water for some sight-seeing and dolphin watching. Overall a great trip that I would highly recommend! Our captain, Mike, was fantastic. One dolphin was even enticed by the wake of our boat and surfed the wave once as we were heading back.

Fanulous Time!

If you want a more personal experience and don’t like big crowds this is the way to go. Captain Matt took just the 3 of us for an awesome outing. Good snorkeling, dolphin watching, and boat ride were all on the menu. Matt was fun and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!!

Great time!

We had a wonderful time. We took   3 teenagers with us and enjoyed the time in the water. After about an hour the kids got bored so we turned the last hour into a dolphin cruise. Fun was had by all 5 of us.

Very good trip. Communication was great and he tried to ensure that we did everything that we wanted to do during the time on board

Good trip

Capt Matt was flexible with our time due to the weather which was amazing!  It still wasn’t a sunny day but we still made it a fun trip. The music was fun and on point and everyone danced all day and enjoyed the day. He was knowledgeable about points along the way which kept it interesting. We followed playing dolphins. He made sure we had plenty to see and do. Highly recommend and we will be repeat customers

We had a great time without the sun

Highly Recommend Captain Matt! Great Cook and awesome Captain!

We had a great time!  Captain Matt was fun and we couldn’t have asked for a better time. Our kids are still talking about it and we can’t wait to book again next year!!

Amazing Time

Awesome guy very down to earth and knowledgeable about the area . Best boat ride we have had in orange beach hands down ! Will definitely book with him next year .

Captain Matt

We have done several of the dolphin cruises over the years and decided to try a private tour. It was so worth it! We got plenty of dolphin spotting time in and then proceeded on a tour along Ono island and into the orange beach marina. Matt is very knowledgeable about the area and it was fun hearing some of the ‘inside scoop’ from a local. We will definitely be adding this to our next trip!
