Great experience!

Capt. Anderson sunset cruise is always pleasant.

Wonderful experience for two young ladies! They loved the captain speaking, the feeding of the seagulls, and the dolphins! So many memories for a really great price!

Parent Evening Dolphin Tour

We  booked a dolphin cruise in hopes of seeing a couple dolphins and we ended up seeing them the entire time we were out on the tour! Our captain did an amazing job navigating the boat so we could see from all angles

Dolphin cruise

Sunset cruise

Was a great experience and as promised, we got to see many dolphins on the cruise!  Once the boat is at sea, you can move about to get the best view of the dolphins.  Was a great cruise at a great price.  Definitely recommend this and will do it again whenever visiting Panama City.

Fun cruise for all ages.

We had a great time and my Grandsons got to see some dolphins! And the Captain and crew were so nice! Grandsons even got to drive the boat and honk the horn!

Seen no dolphins and no sunset. Was a nice boat ride but pricey for just a boat ride

Miss

What a wonderful and exciting journey. We had a fun team of people on our trip and the capt & co-captain went above and beyond during our voyage. So much fun and will definitely do it again in near future.

Best capt/co-capt

Dolphin chasing to be sure but no harassment of them at all.  A little difficult to see the dolphins in the water due to poor visibility but we did.  Took our 8 year old and she liked the t but not for a smaller child.
All in all it was  a good experience and the  captain “coach” was really nice and knowledgeable!

Marcus was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the area. He also went above and beyond what we expected on the trip. In addition to seeing dolphins he took us around a bunch of local spots that we never would have know about or see otherwise. We were extremely with the trip and when we come back we will definitely be booking with him again!

If you are worried about seeing dolphins, it took about 45 minutes to find them but we did see dolphins and they came right up to the boat. After the first encounter we also found another pod shortly after.

Excellent experience

We had a great time on the dolphin cruise. Marcus was well informed about the history of the area and made the trip enjoyable. Good family fun.

So Much Fun

Our captain Marcus provided excellent service. My kids enjoyed not only the ride and dolphin watching but also the stories about the pelican island and pirate cove. Thank you! We will definitely use your services again!

I wish the Dolphins would’ve been more sociable..  but the boat experience out on the ocean and the captain & crew was awesome.  And Shell Beach was beautiful. 

I was with my lady friends and we enjoyed it a lot. The Captain was able to find the dolphins and we took lots of pictures. 
Shell Island was very dirty on the walk down the trail from people that had left their trash everywhere. 

Beautiful Day

Loved our dolphin cruise. The captain actually took the time to look and help us see the dolphins. He found them and told us exactly where to look. He took the time to let the kids drive the boat. Staff was entertaining and helpful. Very friendly and ready to accommodate. Highly recommend!!!
