Wow, it was such a fantastic experience for myself, my husband and our 8-year-old son. Captain Allen is super friendly and accommodating to make sure you have the best possible experience. The boat was in great condition and the perfect way to take in the Florida breeze and sights. All the communication with him was quick and easy as well when planning our excursion. I would highly recommend Captain Allen and we are already thinking of when we can do this again. Thanks Captain Allen for memories that we will keep forever!

The commentary from the staff was also very informative and helped make the trip even more enjoyable. We would definitely do this again on future visits to the area.

The captains all clearly talk to each other and share dolphin sightings because they tend to congregate. The night before my trip with Little Toot I went on a sunset cruise with another company and saw dolphins riding their wake. I was excited to be at the back of their boat and see it for myself. You can see the Little Toot boat in one video We went out at 11. I know earlier is better but it was New Year's Day and I knew I'd want to sleep in. We saw a few dolphins here and there eating. I thought we'd go in without the exciting part. But, the captain took a survey to see if anyone was opposed to staying out a bit longer. Of course, no one objected. He found a couple of playful dolphins for us and I got to see them ride the wake. I'd seen this in a whale watching tour in Monterey Bay (California) but it was nice to see Atlantic bottlenose playing. This boat is close to the water where I've always been on larger boats in California. It's nice being to close. Even from my kayak, dolphins have been further away. I think the only way to get closer would be with captive dolphins. I did learn that there are two boats with the company. Not sure if one is better.

Our group of five booked with Contagious when our previous Captain had engine trouble. Captain Mike and Ryan went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Most importantly, we caught a lot of fish. Snapper, grouper and even an octopus. The dolphins must have known about Contagious. They followed us all day. Despite that, Captain Mike made sure we had many opportunities to catch some keepers. As we travelled from fishing spot to fishing spot, Captain Mike and Ryan went out of their way to keep us entertained. We saw a triple tail, really unique, thanks to their efforts. See photo. Do yourself a favor and book with Contagious. You will be glad you did. Until next year........

These guys gave us an amazing trip! It was my husband and I and our two kids, 13 and 14, who went…read more We are a family of hunters, so we are used to killing our own meat, but not necessarily fishing for it. My husband was the most experienced of us, having fished in lakes and rivers at home. I could take it or leave it but I love to eat fish, and let's be honest, reeling in fish is fun. My daughter loves to kill meat, but is completely vegetarian, so she was into the sport of it. And my son...God love him...most of his fishing experience is the Wii Fishing video game. He was eager to try something new he'd never done before, but he went into it not knowing how to hold a fishing pole. Mike and Ryan were able to meet us each at our level of experience and made it super enjoyable for all of us. It was totally worth paying a little extra over some of the other charters to be the only people on the boat. It meant we had 100% personalized attention. Mike drives the boat and is a good conversationalist while Ryan, a younger guy who has enough energy for five people, mans the fishing poles, baiting them, casting them, and then once we got a bite and reeled in the fish, he grabbed the fish, took the hook out, and took care of putting the fish on ice until we got back to the shore. It was so enjoyable to only have to do the fishing and reeling and having all the other tasks handled for us. We never had to touch a hook or a fish! Mike and Ryan were super encouraging, especially to my kiddos and made the trip really special. These guys had an intimate knowledge of the water around Indian Rocks and knew where to find fish. And you can tell they love fishing!!! My husband and kids rotated the fishing duties while I mostly sat letting them have all the opportunities to catch fish they wanted and took pictures (I did reel one in...and it was the biggest of the day! ). I had been dreading the trip and was planning on just "taking one for the team" so my family could have a good time. I suffer from POTS, myalgic encephalomyelitis, and idiopathic hypersomnia and the thought of a half day on a boat with no where to go if I had an attack seemed awful. Fortunately, the boat was very comfortable! It was super clean, and well maintained. There is a little bit of shade on the boat, but many times the hot Florida sun did beat down on us. We went in the morning at day break, though, so it wasn't until the end of the trip I started to get hot. There was a large cushioned place to sit in the middle of the boat, perhaps 4'x5' (?), that was extremely comfortable, and if a sleep attack would have hit me, I wouldn't have had any reservations about lying on the cushion and sleeping. Luckily I didn't have to do that, so I spent my time cheering on my kids when they got fish and talking to Mike. I was even sad when it was over. I could have kept going for another hour or two. I loved seeing my family have such a good time and experiencing something new that we could never do at home! When we got back to the dock, Mike took all of our fish and cleaned them and cut them into fillets right there at his butcher table on the dock. He threw the fish carcasses to the pelicans and my kids and I enjoyed watching the pelicans fight over the fish. When the fish was all cleaned and filleted, we left with two gallon size bags of fillets, both so full we could barely close them. When we got back to our condo, we looked up the market price for the fresh mackerel and kingfish we caught and we easily had over $300 worth of fish. Our condo had a kitchenette, so we spent the rest of the week eating fresh fish fillets cooked in a little bit of bacon fat...yum!!! We even still have some to take home (check Publix for dry ice to put in the cooler if you end up taking fish home too). I cannot recommend these guys and their charter fishing trip enough! They really have something special here and I'm so glad my family got to experience this. Even after all the fish fillets are gone, we'll have tons of awesome memories, pictures, and experiences to keep for a lifetime!

You get a Dunkin Donuts donut and a 1 1/2 hour tour of Clearwater Bay and, if the tides are in your favor, the Gulf of Mexico. Eliza was our tour guide and Captain Mike steered our vessel. Both were very friendly and informative. Of course the boat tours can't control how many dolphins you see, but I saw the most dolphins I've ever seen on a boat tour here in Florida on this boat tour. I believe that was because dolphins seem to be more active earlier in the morning. We saw probably over 20 dolphins, including baby dolphins that still had stripes (meaning it was a newborn)!
