A great little boat ride.   Not too long. Not too short.   The dolphins were all around us. It was very cool and the staff was very nice!

Great dolphin experience

We had a great trip, saw so many dolphins!!!   the kids were so excited!!!

Linda

Sunset cruise was perfect. Captain James and Tracy were knowledgeable, kind, happy to be working. They were happy that everyone had a great time. 
The boat had the the perfect number of people. Not over crowded. We all were able to get great pictures and saw many dolphins. Best boat around! The ticket price was well worth it.

Perfect time

As promised. Lots of dolphins. Even got to see a manatee. Crew was fun and informative

Great Tour for Dolphins

Grace and jim were out standing kind knowledgeable entertaining and great tour guide really two thumbs up for putting smiles on all these beautiful faces

The sunset dolphin cruise was absolutely stunning! We saw a lot of dolphins and birds. The captains were very friendly and knowledgeable. 10/10 highly recommended a cruise with Captain’s Kirsten and Rick.

Sunset Dolphin Quest

We saw some dolphins in the residential inlets pretty soon after leaving but, once we left that area, I kind of felt like we were just out for a ride. We left and went all the way up to Madeira. We did see some dolphins there around/under the bridge but can’t stop in that area so we just headed in. This was not our first time on the boat so our previous experience seemed to be a lot more “looking for dolphins” than just simply riding. But the attendants were great and it was a beautiful day to be out on the water, no matter what you were doing. We definitely still enjoyed ourself, just not as much of what we “came for”. Some of the kids were complaining they were bored because we were just riding and nothing to see lol. So that’s all. It’s honestly not a “negative”, just maybe some helpful feedback.

Hi, unfortunately we can't control the dolphins or when they'll make an appearance... we do try our best to find them, though! Please come back again and we'll give it another shot. They usually do love showing up for us!

Nice day on the water

Crew was great. Had fun looking at the beautiful real estate and watching the dolphins.

Mike

It was such an awesome tour.
Capt.Jim and Kiersten were the best.
Such wonderful information on the whales.
Made the tour so much more enjoyable.

My First Whale Watch

We went on 6:30 tour so not only learned a lot about and saw many dolphins, we also were able to watch the sun set,  Kiersten, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the dolphins and Steven maneuvered the boat masterfully, both in the river as we looked for dolphins and at sea which was kind of choppy.  They even had blankets for anyone who got chilly. Would highly recommend.

Had a great time on this boat ride.  Captain made a special effort to find Dolphins and our grand children loved it.  The crew was very helpful. Would recommend for sure!!!

Great

We saw  dolphins jumping and having fun. The Captain and his first mate kept us entertained. 
I have already told several people this was the best boat trip in the area and to go for sure!! 

Dolphin Adventure

We went 3 years ago in June, this year we were there in April. Last time we had 5 runs with a lot of dolphins following the boat. This year we only had 1 run with dolphins following, at least the grandkids saw a lot of dolphins right at the boat on the 1 run. Can’t blame the boat captain, it’s just they are not that active. It was a good trip anyways

We had six guests so a full bit, enjoyed the trip.

Full house

I can’t reach it my family of six decided to book a sunset cruise for the first time in our 20 years of going to Redington Beach. We met our captain, Roger at the marina. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! It was great learning about the area And learning about the different wildlife. It was also great to see the magnificent homes and hear stories about how the area had developed through the years. We went on a perfect night where there were no clouds, and there was no wind. The sunset was incredible and we even saw the green flash :-) it’s a trip to remember for my parents and my family! We will definitely be booking another with Captain Roger in the future !

The Best Sunset Cruise in the Area

What a great cruise!  It was comfortable, and intimate (only 5 of us) and Captain Justice was terrific.  We saw dolphin, manatee, and a gorgeous sunset!!!

Excellent

We enjoyed the trip very much. The crew were personable and the others on the trip were as well

Mid day sail

We spent 2½ very relaxing hours on the water with easy tropical music. The other passengers nearby were very pleasant amd fun to talk to. 

We only saw 3 or 4 dolphins,  but that was okay.  Midday is not the best time to see them. 

By no means would I have wanted the captain to talk constantly, but a little information now and then about different places on the shore would have been interesting. 

All on all, a nice ship,  a lovely day cruise.

Beautiful relaxing time on the water

Such a nice trip for a beautiful day! The boat is lovely and the crew fabulous! I cannot wait to go again!

We had a great trip to Shell Key with Robin and Braelynn. They were very knowledgeable and made it fun. They gave my kids each a shark tooth which was really memorable for them.

Great trip

Got us out to shell key quickly and allowed us to see a dolphin pod on the way back in

Smooth ride in

The Hubbard team were very thoughtful and helpful. The trip on the boat was relaxing. Shell Island has a small sand beach surrounding it which is not crowded at all. The water is crystal clear and a nice warm/cool temperature. We found some nice shells but you will need to swim at least 6 feet out and snorkle dive to reach them. Truly enjoyed the entire trip. Highly recommend. :)
