    Review summary

    Excellent
    7.9K reviews•Google Maps

    With an outstanding reputation built on thousands of satisfied customers, this operator delivers consistently memorable sunset dolphin cruises. The crew, particularly Dan and Kyle, get frequent shoutouts for creating a fun, safe atmosphere while navigating through the Intercoastal to Sarasota Bay. Guests rave about the dolphin sightings – these aren't just distant glimpses but close encounters with dolphins racing alongside and playing in the boat's wake, perfectly timed with stunning Gulf Coast sunsets. The experience seems to resonate across all age groups, with one parent noting how rare it is to find something teenage girls genuinely enjoy doing with family. While the vast majority praise the crew's professionalism, a couple reviews mention the captain could be overly strict about safety protocols, though others appreciated his attention to keeping things under control when passengers got rowdy. The young first mate Kyle consistently earns praise for his friendly, professional demeanor. Bottom line: you're getting a well-run operation in a prime location that regularly delivers on its promise of dolphins and breathtaking sunsets.

    Both Chad & Corie were amazing during our sunset dolphin tour. I would highly recommend this to anyone especially if these two are your hosts!! We had an amazing time & will come back again when we are back in town.
