Captain David was top notch. The tour was fun and relaxing. He took us around to different areas and educated us on some of the history behind it. We were also able to see quite a few dolphins in various area. 10/10 recommend.
Highly recommend this tour! Captain David is friendly and very knowledgeable and respectful of all of the local wildlife. Great for all ages and a perfect way to see the sunset. Thanks, David!
This cruise is a must do if you’re around Anna Maria Island. Captain David was an absolute boss. So knowledgeable about the area and took us to see so many dolphins and even a manatee! Beautiful boat, beautiful sunset. We can’t wait to book with him again when we come back! P.S. Captain David’s wife Karen, you’re totally invited 😍
We had an incredible dolphin tour with Captain David and his daughter. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience truly unforgettable. We saw dolphin, and even a manatee - and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way. The best part was that it was a private tour for our group of 5. We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun and memorable adventure on the water!
We had the BEST experience! Captain David was knowledgeable, warm, friendly, funny, and provided a fantastic time for myself and my family. He was also very patient answering several questions from my children, and showed them how he is able to know how deep the water is. Refreshments are provided, an optional shade cover, and a bathroom, if needed. We saw several dolphins, a beautiful sunset, and I would recommend! -Maggie
David was wonderful and went above and beyond for my family! We had a great time touring around and did see some dolphins!
The two hour cruise with Captain David did not disappoint. The boat is immaculate and seating for four was very comfortable, but six would have been too. We sat in the front hull with a table to place our drinks and watch the horizon. A good assortment of beverages were offered and a cooler for our own snacks/drinks. The weather was perfect. Meeting location was excellent for parking and boarding/unboarding. We enjoyed watching birds and dolphins. Yep, we got to see dolphins within 5 feet of the boat as they swam around us. We also floated through the channels for a unique look at all the homes and boats that you do not get to appreciate from the road side. Just beautiful and unique. Captain David made the cruise more enjoyable sharing knowledge of the area, stories, and restaurant recommendations. The boat was able to travel where the big sight seeing boats could not, which made the experience that more enjoyable. A private setting that provided a private experience for our family. We concluded the trip with a sunset view at the mouth of the gulf. Highly recommend this tour.
Had a great time with Captain David. He is very knowledgeable and showed us many of the local sights, found us dolphins, and a great sunset!!! Highly recommended.
What a great way to kick off our family vacation. The kids got to go boating right alongside two dolphins playing in the water! The captain was pleasant, and it was a relaxing night of taking in the views and unwinding.
We had the best time with this trip and this crew in December 2024! It was such a peaceful and informative trip to see the dolphins (and we saw many), yet it was packed with smiles and laughter. Fog rolled in heavy during our trip which made it such a unique and almost spiritual experience! I will return to this captain next time I visit! His restaurant recommendations were spot on as well ;)
