Nice relaxing cruise!

Deacon and Jeremiah were great! We had nice weather, and partly cloudy skies made for some great pics. Didn't see many dolphins (a few from a distance), but timing is everything. It was still a nice way to get together with friends. Do it!

Captain Carly made our tour enjoyable!!!

I’ve never been on a boat cruise before and I’m so glad my first one was with Captain Carly on the sunset cruise. She was super enjoyable and attentive, and helped us learn about the sea animals and birds. She also took our photos so we can remember this trip. Highly recommend!!!
