Awesome caption and a great time

Deacon was our captain and he was great. He was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone had a great time. I would definitely go again if I am back in the area. We saw tons of dolphins swimming with our boat!

Pelican Bay Charter Sunset Cruise

The ambience, the hosts, and the crowd with us led for a wonderful experience. Even though we only saw 2 dolphins our captains kept trying to find more. The whole thing was relaxing and beautiful.

Beautiful Experience

Captain Dan was fantastic. We were given detailed information about the wildlife we saw on our excursion, given information about the area we were exploring, local history, recommendations on dinner, plus really good conversation. We were able to see dolphins, manatees & birds on our ride. To end the evening we saw the most beautiful sunset.
