    Reviews With Photos - Capt. Derek's Dolphin Adventure On Tybee

    My crew
    Mark G.

    I am a little late in getting to the review. We visited back on July 7, 2020. Of course I don't remember the Captain or the boat name but that doesn't matter because we had a blast. The boat crew promised we would see dolphins and we did just that. Not only did we see dolphins, we also saw a very cool lighthouse and Fort Pulaski. We were given some history about the fort which was pretty cool.

    I've done the dolphin excursions 4 times so far this week. Each one has been amazing and better than the prior. cant wait to see what the one tomorrow holds. highly recommend it.

    We did an eight person fishing charter. It was excellent the captain and first mate was both great. We caught plenty of fish and it was a great time by everyone. Would definitely recommend their charter business.

    Very friendly staff. Also there is a waiver if you don't see dolphins you will get to come out again. But we saw about 20 dolphins. Our son is 4 and this was his highlight of our vacation. So if you want something for the kids for sure bring them out. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves as well. The music is a great plus and it's more if a laid back vibe. The tour is a little over an hour and reasonably priced.

    I've been on a few boat tours before but these guys are a blast. Entertaining and fun is what you'll have on a tour with these guys. You really need to try and get a selfie with two dolphins in the background, the prize is well worth it. First one wins. We saw lots of dolphins and were entertained the entire time. Banter abounds on this boat and don't be afraid to give some back the captain loves it. In st. Augustine save some time for this dolphin tour, you won't regret it.

    Easy to find, easy to book. The staff were well organized and welcoming. We were boarded promptly at our reservation time. The captain and the MC were informative, funny and accommodating. We were on the water for maybe five minutes before our first dolphin sighting. Lots of dolphins, birds, stories and good times.

    It was an enjoyable trip and we saw a lot of dolphins. As soon as we left the dock, dolphins can be seen in almost every directions. Once the shrimp boat came in, those dolphins knew where to go for dinner. They followed the shrimp boat and so did we. All passengers were standing near the railings and were all so excited that I couldn't really hear the guide. We took the sunset cruise and the captain drive around until the sun sets. We were able to enjoy that with some nice music in the background. The boat seemed to be in good shape. Crew seemed nice. They have snacks, drinks and and even sunscreens for purchase at the shed where you check in. The prices were very reasonable. For the price of the tour, you can't beat it. Do it if you want to see dolphins!

    AMAZING! Saw so many dolphins our Captain Gator and first mate Cameron were amazing with history and facts, along with some great jokes. The price is amazing as well!!

As soon as you step out there you get that relaxing coastal feeling and it is hard not to slow down and enjoy it. My kids and I had fun ankle deep in the cool April water. We spent time walking up and down the shoreline, listening to the waves roll in, and just taking it all in. The beach felt clean and well kept, and there was plenty of space to spread out without feeling packed in. It made it easy to relax whether you wanted to sit back in a chair, play with the kids, or just wander along the water. The atmosphere really stands out here. It has that perfect mix of family friendly and laid back beach town energy. You see people fishing, kids playing, and others just soaking up the sun. It never felt overwhelming, just a great steady vibe all around. It is also a great spot if you like simple beach activities. Whether it is swimming, shell hunting, or just dipping your feet in the water, everything feels easy and enjoyable. Watching the waves and the open water was easily one of the highlights of the day. Overall this is the kind of place you can spend hours at without even realizing it. Beautiful scenery, relaxing atmosphere, and just an all around great experience. I would definitely come back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid beach day.

Sunset was definitely the time to visit this gorgeous beach. We got plenty of great photos and got to watch a guy kite surf too. A lot less people were out which was nice and the sunset was one of a kind.

I was staying on the south side of the island and had flown in to the area so didn't have much in the ways of my own beach-day items. A google search brought me to North Beach Rentals. Instructions were a little strange, but I placed a call (a brave thing for a millennial to do, congratulate me) and got directions and made sure there would be a chair available for me. The price was very reasonable for the entire day, and though the chairs look rustic (aka: older) they were comfortable and held up! The guys who run it, do it from their personal cell phones and venmo accounts I believe (that was how I paid), but it is a smart small business for the area, that is for sure! They also, when I arrived, offered to carry my chair to wherever I wanted it set up, do the set up, and they retrieved it at the end when you leave. So you are getting some service with the price too. I would certainly patronize them again on a future trip. It was a highlight day of my trip and mostly because I was able to rent a beach chair and enjoy myself without having to buy or lug something around with me that would then get left behind.

    Easy to rent and your choice of where to set up. you can rent umbrella only or umbrella and chairs…read more We rented at noon and were told we have the umbrella until 6pm. about 2:30pm we decided to leave for the day and decided to offer the grandmother with kids sitting next to us to use the umbrella the rest of the rental. Riley with North Beach Rentals overheard us discussing letting the lady and kids use the umbrella and he said No. We don't allow that. you cannot let her use the umbrella! We don't allow that. We packed up about 10 minutes later and he came and grabbed the umbrella before we were even finished packing our belongings. We could not understand why we were told we paid for the umbrella thru 6pm and could not share with our neighbor. it's not like they were out of setups. There were empty umbrellas and chairs ready to rent. very disappointed with how we were treated.

It was nearly 7 at the time and the marina was closed so that is why I called him the next day. The Bubba Gumbos manager saw the beam sticking halfway out in the parking lot as shown in my picture and he is the one who pushed it back on the trailer bed. I have no idea why it was sticking out dangerously as shown on the picture. It was around 7 and the sun glare made it hard to see as shown in my pictures. You can see the attitude and extreme lack of care in the owners response. I was always polite and respectful so that is a blatant lie saying I was belligerent. I have all the texts between us and am happy to share. Their negligence damaged my vehicle and I ran in front of another vehicle that nearly hit the beam right after me preventing a second accident within just a few minutes. I even offered to split the repair costs to which I received no reply at all. I tried to work with him, but he treated me extremely unprofessionally. We were planning to eat at Bubba Gumbos that night and had been looking to take a boat out to Little Tybee while on our trip, but will never use this marina or eat here. I advise you to do the same.

The…read moreonly complaint was the upstairs neighbors can be heard A LOT (talking, walking, etc.) I'd recommend any future guests pick a different rental company. Your customer service was awful. 1. You offer parking for 2 cars, but when we arrive with larger vehicles your solution is "pay to park". That cost us an additional $240 that we weren't planning on spending. 2. When we had issues with the condo (I.e. arriving to find dirty linens) NO ONE responded to our texts or call. So we spent our first night cleaning the condo and linens. Terrible way to start the vacation. 3. This unit is for sale. Mid-way through our trip we were notified that we needed to vacate the property for a showing the next day. We had no where to take our dog, so we cancelled the plans we had for the morning in order to sit with him in the car. After rearranging the plans, we were notified that the showing had been cancelled and we didn't need to vacate. We literally rearranged our VACATION PLANS for you and you cancelled it. I'll NEVER stay at Tybee Vacation Rentals properties again. This company has been a family favorite for over 20 years. The corporate sellout shows. Local owed goes a long way. Your corporate policies are unwelcoming and made our vacation feel like too much work. We spent $3,800 on the rental plus $240 for an additional parking space. We shouldn't have had to work. Shame on you!
