The sunset dolphin cruise was absolutely stunning! We saw a lot of dolphins and birds. The captains were very friendly and knowledgeable. 10/10 highly recommended a cruise with Captain’s Kirsten and Rick.

Sunset Dolphin Quest

We saw some dolphins in the residential inlets pretty soon after leaving but, once we left that area, I kind of felt like we were just out for a ride. We left and went all the way up to Madeira. We did see some dolphins there around/under the bridge but can’t stop in that area so we just headed in. This was not our first time on the boat so our previous experience seemed to be a lot more “looking for dolphins” than just simply riding. But the attendants were great and it was a beautiful day to be out on the water, no matter what you were doing. We definitely still enjoyed ourself, just not as much of what we “came for”. Some of the kids were complaining they were bored because we were just riding and nothing to see lol. So that’s all. It’s honestly not a “negative”, just maybe some helpful feedback.

Nice day on the water

Crew was great. Had fun looking at the beautiful real estate and watching the dolphins.
