Captain Josh and first mate Shane were very informative about the marine life, birds, boats the Intracoastal and local businesses in this 90 minute relaxed tour on a 30 person pontoon. You embark just off the Bridge Street pier. We saw some dolphins at a distance on the ride. If don't see any dolphins they will give you another tour at a different time for free. Competitive prices. Senior and children discounts. You can bring your own food and drinks. Easy on/off the boat. Tips can be done upon credit card payment or cash after the tour. It was a great way to explore the area by the water. I would recommend.

He knew that we wanted to see dolphins and he knew right where to take us- the dolphins were incredible! He provided a lot of information about the dolphins and was just as excited as we were with all of their frolicking. But what was truly special was how he picked up on the nuances of my adult son who has autism, and was sensitive to his fears but also willing to play along with him. That made this autism mom's heart so happy! It was an incredible trip - yes, we will be back!
