Captain Randy is a very calm and pleasant person. Our catamaran trip was perfect for us - just a nice cruise on the outstanding Howling Owl with no fanfare. We saw several dolphins and one sea turtle which Randy pointed out to us. The vessel itself is comfortable and clean. I recommend this cruise if you're interested in a quiet and relaxing experience.
It was a nice cruise up the river. We saw some dolphins right when we got back near the dock and the captain turned and went back across the river, so we got a better view!
Great ride!! Sat infront to see everything
Staff was very nice. We saw no sea life except for one manatee. actually saw more sea life back at the hotel. Very overpriced for a boat ride, which is basically what we got. would recommend the morning booking I think that’s when you probably would see more sea life.
We stayed with a manatee in the wild for about 15 minutes. We try to price our tour competatively, for comparison a paddleboard tour is $65 we are $57 on our website and $64 on Viator. Our boat is a 36’ yacht which can hold 12 comfortably but we only take 6 so guests have plenty of room. The costs of maintaining and insuring a 36’ catamaran are significanly higher than a paddle board. The dolphins show up at various times throughout the day but we do not have control over the sea-life and are not able to guarantee them on every tour.
Captain Randy’s catamaran was the perfect way for us to see the Halifax River with our 8 year old grandson.
Glad you enjoyed the experience. It was our pleasure having you all aboard!
We loved the tour. It was so beautiful and we got to see a dolphin and a manatee. Our host was very nice..Thank you so much.
It’s a wonderful experience. A private tour. Didn’t see the Dolphin because of the weather but we saw the manatees at the dock and that’s neat
Enjoyed the catamaran ride. The weather was perfect and we even saw some dolphins and a manta ray. It was fun.
It was a beautiful day. Perfect ride, smooth, comfortable, clean. Randy was the perfect captain. Took us out even though it was just the 2 of us!
Wonderful boating trip and perfect day
