The ride is approximately 50-60 minutes long.

We probably see more dolphins than any other boat in the area due to the amount of water/area that we cover, VHF communication with other captains notifying us of dolphin sighting locations, and having the captain at the helm as well as the mate keeping a look out. Although we do see them often, they are not guaranteed.

Passengers should dress comfortably and keep in mind that you may get wet during the ride. Shorts, t-shirt/tank and sandals are most popular or any other quick dry items. On a cooler day, a light jacket is suggested. Large bags, coolers and or other personal items that are of value and importance should not be brought on the boat. Bring electronics at your own risk. We cannot be responsible for damage or loss of any electronic equipment and do not suggest bringing them aboard. Hats and sunglasses are suggested but with a retainer. Food, alcohol, and smoking is prohibited on the boat. Identification for checking in and keeping cash on hand when considering gratuities for your captain are appreciated.

Our trips are just as much fun on a cloudy day as they are on a sunny day. Trips are scheduled to go out as planned and will only be canceled by the captain due to inclement weather. Schedule and route are subject to change based on weather conditions. Please note that because the weather can be unpredictable, the captain may cancel or postpone a trip just moments before a scheduled time. We will contact you to notify you of a cancellation. Trips canceled by the captain are fully refundable.
