Only thing I will caution is it is a sailboat the seats are just spots of the boat there's no cushion so if you have a hard time sitting on a random part of the sailboat be cautious.

Highly recommend this company for all your sunset and dolphin cruise needs!!!!

My Mom and I took Island Boat Adventures' Egmont Key tour on a Saturday, and it was one of the…read morehighlights of our trip! From start to finish, Captain John and First Mate Jennifer were outstanding hosts. They made everyone feel welcome and ensured passengers boarded and exited the boat safely at every stop. The tour included two stops at beautiful Egmont Key. First, we had the opportunity to snorkel and swim in the crystal-clear, warm Gulf waters. The snorkeling was fantastic, and it's easy to see why this area is known for its abundant marine life. Our second stop gave us time to explore the island's pristine beaches, nature trails, and fascinating history. Egmont Key is a true gem of the Tampa Bay area, with stunning scenery and plenty to discover. Throughout the trip, Captain John and Jennifer shared interesting facts about the island, local wildlife, and the surrounding waters. They went above and beyond to make sure we had memorable wildlife encounters. On the ride back, they helped us spot several dolphins, and we were incredibly lucky to see three manatees! Captain John carefully maneuvered the boat to a respectful and safe distance, allowing us to enjoy the rare experience of observing these gentle animals in their natural habitat. What impressed me most was the crew's professionalism, knowledge, and genuine passion for showing guests the beauty of the Gulf Coast. After more than 15 years of leading tours to Egmont Key, they clearly know how to create a fun, safe, and unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend Island Boat Adventures to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water. We can't wait to come back and do it again!

Wow! What an experience! We took a 9am tour to Shell Key on Cap'n Dalton's boat. There were only…read moresix passengers on board, which meant there was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the sunshine. Dalton provided expert commentary about the area, even pointing out a few celebrity homes and yachts along the way. It was a gorgeous ride over to Shell Key, and we even saw a few dolphins along the way. Once on the island, we had about 45-50 minutes to explore the beaches and do a little snorkeling and shell-hunting. The island is aptly named, with rows and piles of shells along its white, sandy beaches. The water was warm and perfect for swimming. Soon enough we were back on board and heading back to the harbor. And that's when the magic happened: dolphins! Following along in our wake, and no doubt attracted to the enthusiastic squeals of one of our dolphin-loving fellow passengers, the dolphins put on quite a show. Even Dalton, who I assume sees a LOT of dolphins, was impressed by how long they followed in our wake and performed jumps and flips for us. It was truly one of the most remarkable experiences of my life! Thank you Dalton and Island Ferry for an amazing and memorable tour and one of the true highlights of our vacation!

The dolphin sightings happened in the middle and again toward the end of the trip, for a total of about 10-20 minutes. That was definitely the highlight of the experience--our kids really loved seeing the dolphins. However, between and after the sightings, there was a lot of walking on the beach under the hot sun. The walking felt long and tiring, especially for the kids, and there was no shade. During the tour, an elderly woman also started feeling unwell due to the heat, and an ambulance was called to assist her. Overall, while seeing the dolphins was a wonderful experience, I would recommend preparing for a long amount of walking and strong sun exposure, especially for families with young children or elderly guests.

I can say with honesty that this was by far the best one we've done. Usually when we do these, there are tons of people and barely room to move around. I find myself hoarse afterwards yelling for my child to stay close trying to sift through all the people. There were maybe 4 other families on the boat and there was plenty of space to move around. The activities they did with the kids were awesome, including a water gun fight, sword fight, story and face painting. We even saw dolphins during our cruise. My oldest son said it was his favorite pirate cruise yet. The crew was truly excellent and we are so grateful we lucked out and had them make our experience so special.
