We took the tour with Captain Smitty, what a great guy.  Captain Smitty made sure that he found us dolphins. Josh and Mia are also great.  Captain Smitty made the trip fun for everyone regardless of their age. He also gave us fun facts and great recommendations for where to have dinner.  We would highly recommend this charter with Captain Smitty.

Dolphin Cruise

The boat trip was better than I expected, dolphins and wildlife were all over. The captain and his crew were awesome and kept everyone informed on what was on the bay and lots of history about the area. It was a great experience if you have never seen the dolphins close up. I would highly recommend this 2hour trip, well worth the time and money.

Diana, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience. We love to hear that the Captain and crew took great care of you. We hope to see you again soon.

Mrs.

During our trip, I suffered heat exhaustion due to not hydrating over the course of several extreme heat days.  After passing out, the bartender was extremely kind and helpful by bringing ice, water, and words of encouragement.  The captain also checked several times on me to make sure I was okay.  I know that doesn't tell you much about the experience, but yes, I definitely saw lots of dolphins! Just wanted to give the guys a shout-out for the help they gave during a scary and embarrassing situation.

Great a1nd caring staff

They took us to see the lady of the lake and a few other spots telling us about the area. We got to quite a show with the dolphins and they even followed them some so we could see more. 10/10 absolutely wonderful! And having it just be our family and the captain/crew was perfect!

Amazing

Our captain was amazing! I highly recommend taking a private tour. Able to maneuver to the dolphins way easier than a large tour, and just a more relaxed time.

Had a private dolphin tour with Captain Don.  He was polite, informative but let us enjoy our time together as a family. And he found us all the dolphins!!!! Exciting and recommend them!

Even if we hadn't found the dolphins it would have been worth the money, for the boat ride and seeing the sunset. It was so much fun.

Worth every penny

We had a blast. Unfortunately our trip was cut a little short due to lightning but other than that it was fun!!
