Amazing Sunset Tour on our Wedding-Day

We absolutely loved our Sunset Dolphin Watching Tour and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We took the tour on the day of our wedding with our parents, which made the experience even more special. Our captain Martin and his wife René were absolutely incredible – so warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making the trip memorable. We saw so many dolphins, enjoyed a beautiful sunset, and created countless amazing memories that we will cherish forever. It was truly the perfect way to celebrate such a special day. A huge thank you to Martin and René for making our wedding day even more unforgettable! ❤️🐬🌅 We would absolutely recommend this tour and would book it again in a heartbeat!

Amazing Experience with Dolphin Boat Tours!

We had the most incredible time on the Dolphin Boat Tour, especially the sunset and dolphin-watching experience! The crew was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife. The private boat ride itself was relaxing and scenic, and we were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins swimming right beside the boat—it was truly magical. As the sun began to set, the view was absolutely breathtaking, casting a golden glow over the water and making the entire experience feel like something out of a dream. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to connect with nature and experience the beauty of the ocean 🌅🐬 The atmosphere was perfect, and the private DJ on board made the experience even more special! 🎶✨ Thank you for this amazing tour – we’ll remember it for a long time. See u next time 🤗 Duke&Duke Grand Voyages says Thank you 🐬☀️🇺🇸❤️ Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. It’s an unforgettable adventure that combines the thrill of dolphin watching with the peacefulness of a stunning sunset.

Class Act - Your Personal Dolphin Tour!

From the beginning, when you are greeted in the tiki hut, until the end, when you glide back into the dock, this Dolphin Tour goes beyond expectations. Its name is 100 percent correct too. Captain Martin gave us a brief explanation of boating safety, while his wife Renee, served us fresh baked, still warm, chocolate chip cookies on the side. The boat was equipped with ice, and we enjoyed our BYOBs as we cruised through the canal towards open water. The weather on our special day happened to be perfect. (If you are not so lucky, the cancellation policy is forgiving and you are not coerced into cruising in unfavorable conditions.) Then we got what we came for! We saw more dolphin action than the Discovery Channel could offer. My guests were thrilled, because dolphins where they live in England are somewhat rare. I especially enjoyed the fact that our cruise was private. This is a class act. Don't hesitate if you are considering this excursion. It is perfect.

Adventure Time!

Loved the long ride thru several canals to get to the Gulf Of America! It took about 40 ‘minutes and was so peaceful. We did see several dolphins and they had a baby with them. Ocean water was chopped but we felt very safe with Captain Martin.

Thank you so much, we weathered the storm together :) Glad you liked it and hope to see you again!

Perfect experience

First of all, we would like to thank Martin and Rene for this great experience. The tour exceeded our expectations many times over. Since the temperatures were a bit cooler that day, we were spoiled with warm tea and homemade cookies. This is not a given and we greatly appreciate this attention. We were able to observe dolphins over a longer period of time, they even got as far as the boat. That's the closest you can get to the animals in the wild. We can recommend this tour with a clear conscience and will book the day tour on our next Florida vacation.

Gern geschehen, wir hoffen auf ein Wiedersehen!

Relaxing and joyous

What fun! We saw so many dolphins, it was relaxing and joyous. Wouldn’t trade the experience for any other boat tour available here. Martin was kind and easy going. Loved going through the canals looking at the mangroves before hitting the gulf. Would definitely recommend!

Family Friendly Dolphin Cruise!

Captain Martin and his wife Renee were so nice! Renee welcomed us with freshly baked cookies. We had a great ride through the canals and into the open water where we saw dolphins and the Sanibel lighthouse. Martin had great tunes, especially the German music that the dolphins love! He took great pictures throughout the trip and sent them to us too!
