Captain was great very informative.  Worth the money. Little hard to find.

Sun set

Our sunset cruise was so much fun! Our captain, Matt, was so nice and personable. He was also very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife in the water.

Matt, was very accommodating, even though the weather wasn’t.
He was knowledgeable about the area, and brought us right to a sight we were able to see dolphin playing.  I would gladly recommend his private charter to anyone..

Excellent

We had a fantastic time!  The jellyfish had other plans for our snorkeling but Matt knew just what to do. He took us on a dolphin cruise and we saw 7-10 dolphins and a baby one too.  He gave us a tour of the area by sea which was great and very interesting. Matt is great and we will be back to see him when back in the area.

Great experience

Great experience! Was very excited to go snorkeling but because of the heavy seaweed we weren't able to see much. Matt took us around on the boat to sight see and he was able to find a pod of dolphins in the bay. Must have been hundreds around us. Swimming right up to the boat! Great memories. Would totally go again with Matt!

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!

Matt was excellent! Don't pay for the commercial experience when for just a little more money, you get up close and personal with the dolphins.

Just Amazing.

This was an excellent trip - Matt gave us so much great info, and we saw so many dolphins. He was a very safe captain and clearly knew what he was doing. Great experience!!

Knowledgeable and Safe Captain

We had a blast. We took a sunset cruise for our 25th anniversary and loved every minute. Matt is wonderful and made sure we had a nice time. Thank you Matt. We will be back next year.
