Dolphin Watch Cruise St. Pete Beach

We had the absolute best time soaking up the sun! Captain John and Conner were incredible hosts who made the entire experience seamless. They toured us around all the best local sightseeing spots and even anchored at a beautiful sand dollar beach so we could swim and hang out for a while. The vibe was perfect—they played amazing music all day and kept us refreshed with mixed drinks, soda, and Gatorade. We were highly satisfied and can’t recommend this crew enough, and of course, we were able to see plenty of beautiful dolphins right up close to the boat!

Ask for the Compass Rose with Dillon and Brad those guys were awesome.. Best trip I have had in all my years coming here for vacation

Captain Raaka and Kive were amazing! Me and my family had such a great time on the sunset tour tonight. Got to see dolphins and filled gallon baggies with sand dollars from sand dollar island!

Kai our host was entertaining, Capt Mike was very friendly & accomodated me on 1st stop I didn't want to do walk tour & let me hang w him. He also was kind & sold me one of his used long-sleeve shirts cos I forgot to bring one on my trip & was sunburnt already. The tour was fun & relaxing had a nice laid-back group of all ages. The boat ride alone was enjoyable & Ssndollar Is was awesome! The Capt's narrative & geography lesson was very interesting. I would have taken a sunset ride too but tge rainy weather got in the way. Was a beautiful fun day w the two. I highly recommend it. Bring protection I got burned in an hour hunting for the shells & I had a straw hat n glasses I should have kept on! Thx guys see u again sometime I am a local.

Captain Mahi Mike and first mate Kive gave us a great experience! These two are awesome. Laid back, super friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We enjoyed the cruise immensely. It seemed less crowded than some of the others we saw so it felt personal and like we were being taken on a tour by some local friends. We will definitely do this again next time we are in town. Highly recommend!

We did cruise at 2:00. Saw dolphins on the way to island. One family had brought a cooler of food/drinks. Captain noted that the boat sold food and snacks so weren't supposed to bring your own - did in as nice a way as possible but still. When we arrived at island, told us where to look to find sand dollars and shells. We came up empty - thought the place would be loaded with them but there were more on the St Pete Beach than there. When returned to boat, some people had bags of sand dollars, not sure where they found them but must have been in water because they were still alive. I don't think that people should be allowed to take live sand dollars and hurt the ecosystem but all of the dried ones were broken in pieces. No dolphins on return trip. Nice to be out on the water and pleasant trip but had higher expectations based on the name - Shell Island. Was cheaper to sign up on beach in person than online, but found out online that there was a "teen rate" which they had not originally told me on the beach.

Had a fantastic time on this two hour boat ride to see dolphin and stop off at Shell island. Captain and crew were friendly,accommodating and went out of their way to ensure everyone on the boat was having a great time. Would definitely do this again. And by the way....shell island is amazing!

We had a great time on the dolphin and sand dollar boat trip. Rama was our captain and dan was our 1st mate. They were both so nice, helpful and made the trip fun. We saw dolphins that were close to the boat. We didn’t find any sand dollars but several people did. They had music on the boat, drinks and snacks. We debated on going but we were so glad we did. Definitely worth the money.

I cannot say enough good things about this tour! From start to finish you are taken care of. The boat crew is accommodating and super friendly, and the shelling is great! Bonus points for the beverages available on board and the glorious sunshine and dolphin sightings... it truly is a slice of paradise!

We loved this trip Two adults and Two kids. A great way to learn about the archeopelago , collect amazing shells and sanddollars. On our way back we sent to search for dolphins and the crew took extra time just to ensure that everyone got to see them. I recommend this to everyone!
