Best time down here

We will be back to visit the Frisky Mermaid!! The crew was absolutely the best! We saw so many dolphins and enjoyed a beautiful day on the water. Highly recommend these Ladies (the all girl crew)!!

Great Experience!!

If you've never experienced  a dolphin cruise.  This one will be the one to choose.  Well worth the time and money to relax and see the open waters . From dolphins to perfect sunsets.  A memory in the making.   I highly recommend you to take the trip.

Boat load of fun

Frisky Mermaid

We were excited for this dolphin cruise, but unfortunately it wasn’t the experience we expected. The boat felt overcrowded, and I think there should be a limit on the number of passengers. By the time we boarded, there were no seats left for us, so we ended up sitting in an area marked “Crew Only.” It just felt like there were too many people on board to comfortably accommodate everyone. The crew member leading the tour was very energetic, but we personally would have preferred a calmer, more attentive experience. The ride also felt longer than expected, and by the end we were both anxious to get off the boat, which is unusual for us because we normally enjoy being out on the water. Overall, we think limiting the number of passengers would make for a much more enjoyable experience.

Eleni, thank you for sharing your feedback and we’re sorry your Pensacola Beach dolphin cruise didn’t feel comfortable! We want to address the passenger capacity concern directly - the U.S. Coast Guard strictly regulates, certifies, and determines the maximum number of passengers permitted on every vessel by federal law. As a USCG-certified vessel, we are legally required to follow these federal safety standards and never exceed them - this is never at the discretion of the boat owner or operator.

We do also offer smaller, more intimate dolphin cruise experiences on other vessels for guests who prefer a more personal Gulf Coast adventure! Sounds like a semi-private experience was more of what you were looking for and we’d love the opportunity to show you the true FINTASTIC Frisky Mermaid experience!

Overcrowded and not very relaxing

We seen lots of dolphins and baby dolphins. It was a relaxing and enjoyable cruise.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re so glad you got to see dolphins and babies out there — that’s always a special moment on our sunset cruises. So happy you had a relaxing time with us. We’d love to have you back again soon!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled the kids had a blast seeing the dolphins and that the crew kept everyone engaged throughout the tour. Sunsets like that are what make this trip so special. We’d love to have your family back again soon!

Great experience

I took my three nephews, 6,10,16 and had a blast.  
Samantha was our guide with microphone and she truly made the ride the best experience.  
   She greeted us with large smile and welcoming personality and it never changed during and after tour.  She taught us interesting facts about dolphins and their babies and pods and just cool knowledge that made the tour even better.  
I highly recommend this tour !!!!

Thank you so much for this amazing review! We’re so glad you and your nephews had a blast, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Samantha — she’ll be thrilled to hear it made such an impact. Her passion for dolphins really shines through, and we love that she made the tour fun and educational for the whole family. Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to see you all again soon! 
☮️❤️

Awesome experience

Definitely worth it. They guys were awesome the cruise was probably one of the best that we’ve been on. We will definitely be back.

Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear this was one of the best cruises you’ve been on, and that the crew made it such a great experience. We can’t wait to welcome you back! ☮️❤️

Amazing!

It was a wonderful relaxing cruise. We all had a great time. Will have to take another cruise with this company. Would highly recommend.  Thanks for all the fun!!

Wonderful, relaxing cruise

I love being able to see the dolphins. This was my 3rd time seeing them in person. But I love watching them.

Awesome

Pleasant crew, roomy and comfortable seating, allows easy movement to get up and move 360 degrees around  to see dolphins, boat equipped with bathroom, strong motors to smoothly get you out to the dolphin sights. The Jolly Dolphin was the best so far of all my cruise experiences. The price was right too, definitely worth making a terrific memory.

I loved that our guide worked with others already in the water to find dolphins. We were able to see several, and our guide happily tracked them down. I know seeing dolphins isn’t a guarantee, but I felt satisfied knowing how hard our guide worked.

Happy Passenger

Captain Paul was great and the first boat to find Dolphin Pods for us and other boats.  He also delivered very informative information about both dolphins,  but also the history of the many sights.  

Great trip!

Very knowledgeable and humorous host! He made it a great experience! Knew just where the dolphins were~!

We had a lot of fun and got to see dolphins and sting rays

It's great

We had an amazing time on our 3 hour boat ride. Paul was there waiting for us to arrive and was a great host throughout the trip. We were able to see differernt landmarks, dolphins, sting rays and jellyfish, which was amazing.  We were pleased with the drinks included but we did bring additional snacks and drinks in our own cooler. This was our first trip to Pensacola but we are planning another trip soon and will bring more friends to experience this boat ride. Only negative, the beach was not the best, seaweed and jelly fish were too much.

We had a wonderful Dolphin Tour.  The company was so fantastic.  I needed to change the number of people last minute, and they worked with me to upgrade to a bigger boat.
