Great afternoon on the water!
Went with a group of 6 for this great 90 minute boat ride and we all really enjoyed it! Capt Bob was super friendly and a great guide! He was able to give us a nice fun (little bouncy, but we liked that!) ride down to Harbour Town and we definitely spotted quite a few dolphins along the way. It is an open boat with basically no shade so keep that in mind when booking! Sunscreen and water are a must! And don’t forget to tip your captain! Thanks again Capt Bob!

John provided a complete tour of the intercoastal area. November was a great time to do this as the water traffic was minimal offering a calm and serene experience. Seeing several dolphins was of course the highlight, especially 2 that came just a few feet from our boat.

John was a good guide and was knowledgeable about the area. Unfortunately, we only saw a few dolphins in the distance and only briefly as well, but it was still an enjoyable day on the water with the wonderful weather.
