Sunset/Dolphin cruise

Captain Dan was excellent and made sure we got to see multiple dolphins and a beautiful sunset!! Lack of directions, parking and restroom availability caused unnecessary stress before the trip.

Awesome way to spend 90 minutes!

Nice guys, really know where to find dolphins! Also very thoughtful about making sure both sides of the boat have chances. They were happy to give second and even third drinks!

A fun and relaxing sunset cruise!

Captain Blake and Carly were friendly, upbeat, and knowledgeable about the marine life, history and surroundings that we saw during this 1.5 hour sunset cruise. It was a pleasant and relaxing way to end our evening on vacation.
