While looking for things to do when we weren't at the games, the Little Toot Dolphin Adventure kept appearing near the top of almost every recommendation list. It absolutely did not disappoint. We couldn't believe how many dolphins we saw, and how close they came to the boat. It was an incredible experience. 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.

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)!

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.

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.

5-Star Review for The Salty Mermaid - Clearwater Beach, FL…read more I celebrated my 50th birthday with 15 of my closest friends on a 3-hour sunset party cruise with The Salty Mermaid, and it was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Captain Tony and First Mate Nick were fantastic--friendly, professional, and made sure we had the best experience possible. We loved being able to hook into the sound system and play our own music, which set the tone for an amazing evening of dancing on the deck (and yes, even on the pole!). Despite the chilly weather, we still got to jump in the water for a bit, which was such a fun touch. One of the best parts? They allowed my friend to decorate the boat before we arrived, so it felt personalized and festive. We brought drinks and snacks aboard, and the crew made sure everything went smoothly. It wasn't a great night for the sunset but the vibe was pure celebration. If you're looking for a unique, fun, and memorable way to celebrate any occasion, I HIGHLY recommend The Salty Mermaid. It was truly a great day out on the water, and I can't wait to do it again! Maureen Vicari

After we established a DJ and got our coolers and bags settled, we were off! We saw tons of dolphins, the weather was beautiful, and we peppered Dylan with questions about the boat, about his career, about the area. After we turned back towards the marina, Dylan started to experience some issues with the boat. It was sputtering and stalling -- it seemed as though it wasn't getting fuel through the fuel line. Dylan kept his cool and tried to troubleshoot, and then decided to throw out an anchor and get out of the channel for safety's sake. We were all in great spirits and nobody was worried about anything. We felt completely safe and nobody was hard-pressed to return by a certain hour. He managed to work it out and we returned about 15-20 minutes later. (We thought it was an extra bonus!) We applaud his professionalism and his ability to keep his cool. Would recommend this tour to ANYONE!

Sometimes the pirates on board just arent as enthusiastic and entertaining. They dont allow kids up top at the drinking deck which is cool.

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.
