Close encounters and fantastic crew!

Alex and Misty were phenomenal! They were extremely knowledgeable and shared many facts about the dolphins we were viewing and about dolphins in general. They have such fun and outgoing personalities, encouraged our group to have fun, shared stories and Misty let my 7yo chat her ear off😂 We were able to see a group of 4/5 dolphins make many appearances. There was a good amount of younger children on our tour and Misty made sure to give instructions so that the little ones would for sure be able to see. They provided cold bottled water which was greatly appreciated. 10/10 recommend, would absolutely book with them again!

Fun trip.

Great tour. The Capitan and Guide were friendly and fun. They talk to other charters so if one happens to find the dolphins before the others, they all communicate. We ended up around 10 dolphins and had a lot of fun watching them. Our boat had fewer people than other charters, which we liked.

Operator response

Thank you so much! 🐬 We’re thrilled you had a great time with our captain and guide! We love working together on the water to help everyone find the dolphins, and we’re glad you got to enjoy a pod of around 10. We’re also happy you enjoyed our smaller, more relaxed boat experience. Hope to see you back aboard Chase-N-Fins again soon!
