My friends and I had a great experience on our dolphins-spotting cruise on Little Toot. The captain…read moreand his crew worked really hard to try to get us to see some dolphins. Unfortunately, there were a lot of jet skis that were chasing and scaring away the dolphins. Not cool! The Little Toot crew was very angry about this and really seemed to care for the dolphins' well-being. Because it was such an ordeal trying to see dolphins, they marked our cruise as one that didn't see any and we'll be able to come back on a future dolphin-spotting cruise for free.

The question you want to know is "Will I see Dolphins?" YESSSSSS!!! you will!!! See all the footage…read moreI taken and see for your self!! I'm Super blown away!!! This was just a spur of the moment dolphin boat ride after lunch, and what a GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! Located at the Clearwater Marina, if you purchased online you just need to check in to get on the boat. This boat is nice well kept, and gives off a modern day Tug Boat feel, which has literally a "Toot" for the horn. They serve soft drinks, and spirits for the experience, but it is CASH ONLY for that, along with photos that are taken before you board the vessel(if you choose to purchase afterwards) All-In-All I'm going to leave it up to my videos to do the rest of explaining! We will DEFINITELY come back!! Ps...Sit at the bow of the boat to get the best views for the dolphins!

I was looking for an early morning dolphin tour, and fortunately I found Fins Up Donuts and…read moreDolphins tour. The tour leaves at 9:45am out of Clearwater Beach Marina. 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)!

PERFECTION!! They promised sunset and dolphins and delivered on both. Best sunset I've ever seen!…read moreFirst dolphin I've ever seen! I will say the dolphins were really front loaded at the start but then the gorgeous sunset was on the back end. We loved how you could bring drinks on board; would suggest bringing bottled margarita from Costco. The vibes were immaculate in every single way. We had Chris and Gabby who were so sweet and so funny. Gabby took amazing photos of our group and was so nice about it! Please do this when you're in Clearwater!

After a quick safety briefing we were on our way to watch one of the most beautiful sunsets ever. The ship was equipped with a bunch of beanbags to lounge on and we had plenty of room to relax. As an added bonus we were escorted back to the dock by a small pod of dolphins. An absolutely amazing trip from start to finish! Bring your favorite wine and have a great time like we did.

The weather was perfect although a little choppy at the bay but all was calm once we sailed the gulf. We spotted dolphins along the way, enjoyed the majestic sunset, and relaxed the rest of the time. We appreciated that Jack chilled our Sangria and cheese. Also kudos to first mate Jack since we were his first official group that he would take on first mate responsibilities! He did a fantastic job! He was such a pleasant young man and Captain Tim was just so chill and funny. We highly recommend!

We brought our food and drinks and there was enough storage on the boat for all of our stuff.

The whole process was seamless and the experience was great. I highly suggest you book with them!

I was very pleased with how well Captain Randy communicated and provided additional insight. Upon closer to the time for our day I had a follow up conversation with Cassie who provided even more information that brought comfort not only to me but my guests as well. They provided a cooler with ice and water as well as numerous floats and shelling bags. The whole experience was relaxing and refreshing. Our captain for the day was Jordan and she was Spectacular with keeping us on time and showing us around. We did a 4 hour boat tour but were able to have time on the slide and visit two islands. Truly an unforgettable experience for families and groups alike. 10/10 will be booking again for a longer time. Thank you for providing a wonderful experience.

We were looking for a fast boat ride, with not too-crowded boat, and at least one hour boat ride. And this checked all items on the list.

A bonus is that they let us drive it too! Although it was only for less than a minute, the tour guide also took pictures and video while we were driving.
