We went out with Capt.Stan, and may I say he's the man. Out son had questions about the marine life and I don't think there was a question he couldn't answer. We saw dolphins galore came right under your feet. We even saw a sea turtle. He took us to a secluded spot on shell island.we are going to book again with him real soon.

Captain Stan was excellent, knowledgeable, and very friendly! He did everything possible to get us in the water with the dolphins. Plus got to see jellyfish, and crabs. Was well worth it and will definitely come back. We also found lots of beautiful shells on Shell Island. Beautiful clear water and the weather was awesome!

Jason was our guide and got my husband and daughters in the water with a whole pod of dolphins. The timing was perfect. My youngest daughter wanted to go to Shell Island and he found the perfect secluded spot. I have a video of the dolphins but no pictures to upload. The pictures are of Shell Island.

We had the best experience on our tour today. Stan was our captain and he made sure we had the best experience. He was knowledgeable and accommodating. We saw several dolphins, a sting ray, lots of fish (big and small) and he made sure when we got out to swim with the dolphins that he got us close enough to have the best experience possible. I could tell he had a ton experience with driving a boat which made me and my husband comfortable. We did a 3 hour tour and it was well worth the money! Best experience weve ever had at any beach! He made the tour feel very personal to all of us on the boat

Cody was such an awesome tour guide! He kept the ride enjoyable for both fast and slow jet skiers. The weather didnt do us any favors and made the water super hard to see in, but Cody found us plenty of dolphins! We had an awesome time! Highly recommend.

We booked a private dolphin tour. Our captain, Stan was great, and knew just where the dolphins liked to hang out. We saw MANY dolphins up close. Not just a real quick glimpse, for a good long time, each time we came upon the large pod. The captain knew how to position the boat for best viewing. My daughter and husband opted to get in the water with them, and he put them in at just the right place for the dolphins to swin right in their path. My daughter had goggles on and was able to see them swim right by her and underneath her! It was a very enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend
