Family fun

My partner, his father, and our daughter (6) and son (22 months) had soooo much fun!!! The tour guide was so entertaining and we had such a great experience. We will definitely book back bay charters again when we are in the area.  10/10 recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a great time with Matthew on our private dolphin tour. Very knowledgeable and very personable! We can't wait for our next trip and our next excursion with Matthew!!!

Great Private Dolphin Cruise

Capt. Matt was great. He went above and beyond during the tour. Multiple pods of dolphins and he was very knowledgeable about the animals and area.

Incredible sight seeing and better conversation.

The tour was great! We really wanted to see dolphins and he did just that for us! He also went out of his way to go find the sharks nearby and give us that awesome experience too! Highly recommend!

Private Dolphin Tour

After looking at several options we chose this charter just the right size for our family and were thrilled with the results!  We had several calm encounters watching the dolphins, a good deal of time with two different groups cruising and jumping in our wake right behind the boat, and still had time for some sightseeing in the bay and marina!

Way better than the big Dolphin cruise boats!

He put us with dolphins right away let my kids be kids on the boat. Knowledgeable about the surrounding area. When I come back to orange beach I'm calling Back Bay.

Dolphins

Excellent Trip, Dolphins were the goal, for.my daughter and granddaughter, and boy was it a score!
We watched a group of five or 6 all around us , them when captain Matt eased off the dolphins followed, jumping into and surfing the wake, they followed for a t least a mile or more! Great boat,, courteous and informative captain! 5 of 5 stars!

Best Private Dolphin Tour we’ve ever done!

We could not have enjoyed our tour more!! Captain Matt was excellent. There were 4 of us (3 adults and a 5 year old) The best experience I have spent money on in a long time. Dolphins were swimming all around us and Captain Matt got them to follow us. They entertained us with their jumps and tricks. Book this tour, one of the best ever.
Thank you Captain Matt!
.

Captain Matt

Captain Matt was fantastic!  Super nice guy and extremely knowledgeable.  We were able to see so many dolphins and 1 even came right next to the boat to check us out.  Memories made with our kids, couldn’t have asked for a better time!

We had such a great time on our trip with Larry! The kids wanted to see dolphins and he knew exactly where to go! Would highly recommend taking a trip with Larry! Was great getting to know him and hearing his story, it was like talking to an old friend!

Amazing boat trip?

We booked last minute, 5 hours prior to time slot. Captain Larry was very accommodating and since our party was the only ones on the boat, (6 people), we were able to choose where we wanted to go with the suggestions that he had. Highly recommended!

Great excursion

We highly enjoyed our hours on the water with Larry. He was knowledgeable about the area and showed us great local spots. He was very open to letting us stop and go as we wanted.
