great tour

Jersey and Captain were great but I wished would have seen more dolphins. it wasn't ideal weather, so they were hiding. We had an infant otherwise i would have booked a different tour. They kept us safe and the young child enjoyed the ride. The captain was humurous.

Operator response

I think you may be talking about Dolphin Company Company that is located next to us. We like them. Try us out at Good Jibez Only Boat Tours sometime.

The crew in the cabin was amazing. We got rained out, but it was worth every second. My granddaughter got to see dolphins for the firsttime me and My Son and my husband and his fiancé went and traded for the world. Thank you ladies.

Don’t hesitate, book the trip! Captain and crew were great! Fun was had by all, including our 6 and 3 year old! We saw lots of dolphins and a few turtles. Would absolutely book again and look at the other types of excursions they offer as well!

Great tour adventure.

Nice your job. It feels almost semi private tour that you're on. Seen dolphins and sea turtles. They provided snacks and drinks at a reasonable price as well.

THanks Jessica, we appreciate your feedback!!

We had a really good time...

We had a really good time . We got to see the dolphins , we did y see a bunch if them because of the weather but it was still great . We also saw some turtles too ! The best part was when the dolphins started jumping up in front of the cargo boat that came through.

Operator response

The cargo ships are our favorite! We don't get to see them jump like that everyday. So glad you got to experience that!
