It was such a fun trip! Our group of 6 truly enjoyed seeing so many dolphins and the Captain maneuvered the boat in such a way to ensure we saw many dolphins jumping in our wake! The narrative provided along with just missing the rain at the end of the tour was one of the highlights of our girls' weekend. I would definitely recommend this tour with Captain Derek and take the early boat out! read more

Nice crew and knowledgeable but in a hurry to turn trips. The ride is too shorty and barely leaves the harbor before returning. It's a volume business read more

Great boat trip. Gator was an awesome captain, and the guide was very helpful as well. Got to see a few lighthouses, a ton of dolphin, and some local history. The boat was very nice as well. More than enough seating, with shade or sun options. The waiting area is shaded with picnic tables to wait for your tour to begin. All in all everything you could want in a little Boat tour read more

Was one of the most hight enjoyed things on our trip! Captain Matt and first mate Chelsey were AMAZING. These two made sure the two Girl Scout troops on board were safe and also got to see all the dolphins! They also guarantee that you will see dolphins or you can come back for a free ride...but it's hard to believe you would not see them because they were literally everywhere! It was so cool! read more

Our adult family of 4 booked for a Sunset Dolphin cruise at Tybee Island. Mother Nature did not cooperate for a pretty sunset, but the bay was thick with dolphins of all sizes - What an experience. Cap'n Gator & 1st Mate Possum took great care of us - They were very knowledgeable of the local fauna and history & handled that big boat like it was nothing. We felt safe & secure the entire voyage - Thanks guys!! read more

Captain Derek's Dolphin Adventure - Surfing dolphin - Tours Near Me - Tybee Island, Georgia

We had a great time -- wonderful captain and crew, and lots of opportunities to see the fun-loving dolphins playing.

Matt and Kim did an amazing job finding the dolphins and explaining everything to us. He would move the boat to make sure both sides could see the sights. our boat and the sister boat drove together to make waves and the dolphins jumped out of the water right next to us. It was fun and well worth the money! Parking: free on site parking Restrooms: Portojohns are available before you get on the boat. There are no restrooms on the boat. He said there is a nice bucket for you. read more

It was so much fun!! Captain Derek and Kim were entertaining and knowledgeable! We saw so many dolphins (probably the same ones, but it's ok!). Definitely add to your "To-Do" list while in town! read more

Rated #1 activity to do on Tybee Island and it was easy to see why. At one point we had TWELVE dolphins jumping behind our boat. They said that was a bit unusual, so we certainly picked the right day to take a boat out. The crew was great and the boat far from overcrowded. -They do that on purpose. There was plenty of room and really good views for everyone. Tickets were only $30 each and the boat ride lasted for an hr and a half. Well worth the money read more

Caption Gator and first mate Roma 5 stars for friendly. Roma(Emmaline) narrated interesting facts in a very clear voice through the entire trip . My 16 year old grandson is blind and enjoyed the trip as well; the fun of the boat ride and the interesting narration made his outing worthwhile. Many thanks . read more

I booked a Tybee Island tour from Savannah with Kelly Tours via Viator, which included several great visits and a boat cruise to see dolphins with Captain Derek's Dolphin Adventure. Our boat captain was Gator and Cass was his first mate. They were both great! They obviously know the area well and took us to several places where dolphin pods appeared, as well as pointed out a few highlights of the area along the way. If dolphins were mainly on one side of the boat, Captain Gator would turn the boat to give everyone a chance to see the same pods, assuming the dolphins cooperated and stayed put. Cass helped by calling out locations of the dolphins with time (the position of the little hand on a clock). I have several video clips and hopefully I was able to upload one of them, but this is a very worthwhile tour and experience. Captain Derek's is the way to go, and maybe you'll get Captain Gator and Cass as your boat staff! read more

I paid for captain derrick, I expect to get captain derick! This is the only complaint I have. The lady on the boat was very cool and nice! They pointed out the dolphins to everyone and turned the boat so everyone could see. That being said, we say TONS of dolphins! At least one dolphin or pod every minute or two! They would get close enough to the boat for us to even see their faces! The only downside was the rowdy group of preschoolers doing a summer camp that went on our tour. However they couldn't control that as staff. Overall this was really great! read more

I brought my youth group on a mission trip to Savannah. After the long week where the kids worked really hard, I decided we needed to do something fun. So I booked a Sunset Tour with Captain Derek's. This was BY FAR the best dolphin tour I've been on! The staff was more than friendly. The price was fantastic. The boat captains were full of puns and bad jokes. It was amazing. The dolphins were out in droves. I would HIGHLY recommend Captain Derek's to anyone wanting to do a dolphin tour. read more

This was an amazing experience. We went for the sunset cruise and I would highly recommend it! We found dolphins in the first five minutes and found multiple pods of dolphins. (They also guarantee seeing dolphins or you get to go again for free) The captains were the perfect mix of facts, friendliness, and dad jokes mixed in with some nice music. We had a beautiful day and great weather. If you only do one thing in Savannah I would choose this! read more

Captain Gator and Mermaid guided us through an amazing adventure of dolphin watching. Their attitudes are very upbeat and positive. This was an enjoyable time for both my husband and I.

Thanks for making our vacay day spent with you all a fun day. read more

Gator & Possum, on the Monster, were a great team. Possum has the exact voice and personality for this gig. We saw a ton of dolphins and even played with a few in the wakes and turns we made! GO!! Enjoy it for yourself read more

What an amazing experience! A beautiful day to enjoy calm water and many sightings of dolphins. Captain Matt was entertaining with his 'dad type' jokes. First Mate Emmie educated us with facts about dolphins, birds, Cockspur lighthouse, and Tybee Island and beaches. They both played off each other well. Best sspot on the boat is in front of the windshield if you can handle the sun. We would highly recommend this tour. They even accept leashed well behaved dogs and you can bring your own drink on board. There's a bathroom on board as well. It was all around a great experience. Don't forget to tip on your way off the boat. Thank you. read more

I oversee a group of guide dog puppies in training from Dogs Inc and we recently set up a tour with Captain Derek's to give our puppies exposure to boats, docks, etc. Stephanie at Captain Derek's was SO incredibly helpful in getting this set up. She offered us a specialty time to go out on to ensure that it wouldn't be too crowded for our puppies and made sure we had everything all set for our trip. When we got there, our captain and first mate were so welcoming and accommodating to our puppies in training. They asked before petting our pups to ensure it was okay and did all they could to ensure our puppies and people had an incredible time. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and we can't wait to set up another one! Thanks to the entire team at Captain Derek's for a great dolphin tour! We had a blast! read more
