The deck rocks gently as the marina slips away and the horizon opens to the Gulf — salt on the wind, gulls darting like punctuation. On Flippers Fun Boat’s 90–105 minute dolphin cruise you trade the bustle of Clearwater Beach for the wide, shallow sweep of the Gulf of Mexico, where bottlenose dolphins often ride the bow wake and the setting sun paints the water gold.
