A relaxing experience!

Great experience all around! Everyone was so friendly from the gentleman who got us checked in to the guides. The boat ride was comfortable and informative and we got to see a number of dolphins. We loved getting to see all of the amazing homes along the shore as we cruised too! Afterward we explored the johns pass boardwalk and watched the sunset from a nearby restaurant. Would definitely recommend!

A good way to see the bay and it's dolphins

Shame it was very windy and cold but we saw loads of dolphins and our guide was great. He told us about all sorts of things, including stories of some of the mansions and showed us eagles nests.

Adventure for kids

Great experience for family to share and remember” captain nick and his partner made the ride very memorable for our kids educating the sea life of dolphins. I had a turtle coming out so I found the restroom a better sit down experience “ Thank god it was there and I didn’t pick up crabs from toilet stool. Thank god! And thank you nick and partner” y’all look like some good smoke out buddies.
