I joined the dolphin and donuts morning trip. Captain Eric and first mate Kelly Brought us to viewing dolphins in their natural habitat right away. Kelly was very knowledgeable about the local history of some of the beautiful homes on our tour, and also about the dolphins and birds. The morning trip is definitely a great way to start your day! Tell em Davo sent ya! read more

Awesome boats and crew. Thank you Capt. Rob & Kelly! Friendly, cautious and will go out of their way to make sure everyone has a safe and fun time. We have been on 3 of their Dolphin and Donut morning cruises and each one we have seen dolphins, many birds and fish in addition to learning about the homes and area of siesta and Sarasota. We will continue to visit this company over some of the other large overloaded boating companies that opt for huge boats and piles of people. read more

Awesome evening with a fabulous crew, lots of Dolphins, perfect weather and a very beautiful sunset. Five stars for sure.

My wife and I enjoyed the dolphin cruise today. Rob was our captain and Kelly was our tour guide. I can't praise them both enough. Rob worked hard to find dolphins...we saw dozens. And Kelly was the sweetest and most knowledgeable guide, serving us drinks and delicious donuts and then educating us on not only dolphins but many of the birds we saw as well as the homes along the water and area beaches, bridges and islands. I highly recommend this tour. Kelly's love of the dolphins was contagious. read more

One of my top three choices in the area. I took another cruise during my stay and this one was hands-down, the BEST. Super friendly and informative. They really tried to find dolphins for us and hang out in areas of activity. I can't wait to return &join them again!!! read more

Absolutely the single best activity during our stay on Siesta Key. Competent captain, informative guide. Dolphins all around the first 45 minutes of our 2.5-hour tour. Spectacular sunset (which can't be controlled, of course, sometimes will be a dud). Sea birds all along the return trip. Thanks, FBT! read more

Family of 3 went on their Sunset Dolphin Tour. It was great, I highly recommend it. Jim was our Captain and Chandler the First Mate. They were good guys, gave us lots of good info about the sights and the environment. Probably everybody's first concern is seeing dolphins. Good news! Jim says there are always dolphins in the area and he sees them on about 90% of his tours. We saw a group of 3 dolphins chasing fish. I think they were at a "known" spot for dolphins. Lots of other tour boats came and went but Jim kept us there the longest by far. And we were rewarded with seeing them jump out of the water and such. Got a good long look at a beautiful sunset. The vessel was solid, roomy, and clean. They had good music, complimentary beverages (including beer & wine), and a relaxed vibe. Its just great to be out on the water. Its also a good value. read more

We had a fabulous ride with Jim and Dale! They were so friendly and shared great fun facts. We saw a huge pod of dolphins and were able to get really close to see them feeding! We did the doughnuts and dolphins tour- highly recommend. read more

Jess and Greg were great! Not that many dolphins to see today but beautiful day and ride.

We booked a sunset cruise out of Keyes Marina on Anna Maria Island for four of us. First mate Meghan and Captain James took us around the bay and provided a fun and educational tour of the area, then edged out into the gulf for the gorgeous sunset. The boat is a large pontoon with seating for up to 20, with comfortable bench seating, lighting and music. We even got done karaoke in on the way back to the dock. The tour includes complimentary beer and white wine but you can bring your own everything. A bathroom is available on board. The boat docks at Keyes Marina, a great fish and tackle shop with lots of outdoor seating while you wait, eat or just hang out. We had a blast! Highly recommended! read more

We had a blast! It was a little long with a two year old, but that's just info for family's planning to bring a toddler. The two hours was a nice time period otherwise. You get to see a lot of houses owned or previously owned by celebrities, which is always interesting to hear. Destiny and Keith were very friendly. Our daughter especially enjoyed being able to "drive" the boat. That is definitely an extra special Touch. We didn't get to see dolphins, but that was just the luck of the draw. It was a nice tour overall! read more

My husband seen this on Facebook. Sometimes I'm skeptical of such things. Boy did they surprise me. They were absolutely amazing. The hubs and the kids wanted to see the dolphins but for me it was the birds. They were a wealth of information. Not only about the birds and Dolphins but of houses along the way. I was able to get a great picture of a King Fisher. The Captain also gave us a tip on another place to see birds. Thank you guys. Go out with them. Just in case you are wondering yes we seen Dolphins and Manatees. Worth every penny. read more

Kelly and Captain Greg are fantastic! Very knowledgeable and make the trip fun. We had a beautiful trip.

We went on the sunset cruise and it was an amazing experience. We were able to see dolphins and appreciate the beautiful sunset. Steve gave a thorough tour along the bay, told really interesting facts. The Captain and Steve gave us all plenty of time to enjoy and take pictures with the sunset! The ride back was so much fun, there was music playing and dancing involved! They had soda and water in a cooler on the boat, although you're able to bring your own drinks! There is also a toilet in the back if needed! I'd definitely recommend this to anyone! read more

This is our second time in Siesta Key for vacation. First time, basically sat around the shore, ate dinner at several places and bought some stuff at the tourist shops. This time, our daughter was with us for just the weekend and we decided to do "something" other than sit around on the beach. So, we tried Fun Boat Tours. Very good decision! We did the Dolphins & Donuts tour at Siesta Key. This is a tour of the local area, up the channel to Sarasota, where we encountered a couple of groups of dolphin. One of our "guides", Keagan, explained the difference between dolphins out at sea, a pod, and the groups in the channel. It was a different name, sorry, I forget. Ah, well! Anyway, both Keagan and Keith, the "skipper" were both informative and funny. Informing us about the different dolphins we encountered as well as some of the other wild life. Also, telling us about some of the famous folks and their homes along the way, Like Andre Agassi, Prince's former winter home, Dad Prescott's Sarasota home and the $10k hammock. Fun stuff. Ohm the donuts!! These were the product of a place called 5-0 donuts. A shop founded by two former police officers. If in the area, I would HIGHLY recommend stopping there for your own donuts! Oh yeh! Anyway, the donuts supplied for the tour were form there. Coffee was good, and then a variety of soft drinks, bottled water and gatorade and juice. Al and all, a great morning tour. Saw a bunch of interesting animals, huge, beautiful homes and learned some interesting, if maybe, on an occasion or two, some made up stories. But, it was a really enjoyable time and I'd recommend it easily! read more

Another great ride with Jim and Jack! We had a great time this spring on a Donuts and Dolphins cruise and decided to give the sunset cruise a try. We were so happy to have the same team take us out. We will have to try the afternoon ride on our next visit. read more
