Way better than the big Dolphin cruise boats!
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!

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!

Unforgettable Dolphin Boat Trip, A Must-Do Experience!
Let’s just say, when two teenage girls willingly put down their phones without being asked, you know you're doing something right—and that alone deserves a 5-star review!
From start to finish, this dolphin boat tour was nothing short of amazing. We saw dolphins, including baby dolphins (!!), gliding playfully alongside the boat. The scenery was stunning, with incredible views of gorgeous waterfront homes and jaw-dropping yachts.
Captain Matt made the trip even more memorable with his deep knowledge of the area. He effortlessly answered all our questions—about the wildlife, the history, and even who owned some of the spectacular homes we passed.
The perfect balance of fun, relaxation, and learning. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and engaging way to explore the coast!

Incredible sight seeing and better conversation.
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.

Mr.
We had great time! Captain Matt was just great! He took us on a tour and we saw a bunch of dolphins! He knew so much about the area and was very gracious and shared so much about each area, island and other. Perfect tour and trip. I would highly recommend Capt. Matt over all others. We have been on many of these and he was by far the best!

Memories made!
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!

Captain Matt's Dolphin Cruise is Magnificent
The experience super special! Matt was able to get us up close to the dolphins and shared a lot information about habitats of the dolphins and other sea life. It was certainly something I would entertain in the future. We had four adults and an 11 and 4 years old. My recommendation would be that a child younger than 4 would loose interest.

Great experience for all.
Our trip was perfect! Great combination of seeing dolphins and sightseeing.
Captain Matt was great. He asked what we were wanting to experience, and did his best to fulfill it. We got to see multiple dolphins, including a mother and her calf. We got a tour of the area, along with some of the history of the area.
We will definitely use him on our next trip, with possibly a longer cruise.

Captain Matt
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!
