The trip was so awesome. The employees went out of their way to make our cruise special. My nephew has spina bifida and they made his day by carrying him up to the front of the boat because his wheelchair wouldn’t fit up the walk way. He said that cruis was the best part of our vacation!!

My family had a great time on the ocean and it’s worth the money keep up the great work!!!

Tour

We had a great time. The dolphins were not very active and didn't jump but we saw plenty. The hour on Shell Island was very relaxing. We went the end of October and it was not busy at all, just the way we like it. The captain and his crew were great too.

Great time

The whole trip was very enjoyable!  The crew was very friendly. We especially liked the deckhand, Emma.  She was very friendly and spent a good bit of time talking with us.  It was a great trip!

Great trip

It was a great time and we seen lots of dolphins enjoyed ever minute of it

Cruise

I showed up early and had lunch and a Bloody Mary, the bartender (Audrey) was super friendly and was our bartender on the boat as well. I didn't get the lady's name that made my Shrimp Tacos but they were great and she was welcoming too. I had a blast and would totally do that again. The only complaint I have is I didn't want to get out of the water when it was time to leave, but that couldn't be helped!

Shell Island

This by far was the best dolphin tour we have been on. The crew was absolutely amazing. They made sure everyone was able to see the dolphins and that everyone was having a great time. We will definitely be doing this one again.

Wonderful experience

We saw lots of dolphins...some even before getting all the way out of marina. Staff was very friendly. The visit to Shell Island was great & my 2 granddaughters had a wonderful time.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We are thrilled you had such a good time. We hope you and your granddaughters will come back and see us again.

Awesome trip

Our trip was  amazing . We saw dolphins and many sites around the bay and little history and just overall had a fantastic time.

We had a great time out on the boat! Our host was pleasant company and a very interesting person to talk to. We saw some dolphin fins in the distance, moving quickly away from us.  Obviously, it would have been amazing to have gotten a better view, but that’s not promised. We did enjoy ourselves and the areas we explored.

My family of 6 had a great time with Marcus! We had questionable weather and he made sure to watch the radar and ensure our safety.. He stayed in touch with me via text and we had a great time! Took us to two locatIons to jump out and snorkel plus collected tons of seashells. Saw plenty of fish, some  sea urchins, a few jellyfish, and the weather and water was perfect. Had a great time visiting with Marcus! Highly recommend for that private tour feel without the private tour cost! Thanks Marcus!

Perfect private snorkeling trip with Marcus!

While my reservation was for snorkeling, due to a cold front we didn’t actually snorkel, however, our guide adjusted and made our day anyway. You call it water adventures Marcus took us out seashell hunting and a guided tour of the bay instead. We loved every moment of our time!

Snorkeling aka adjustment

This was a blast. Me and my friends had a great time snorkeling. Marcus was a great guide, and new some great places to check out. He even got out with us at the 2nd location and found some cool stuff to show us, like a live starfish.

lots of fun!
