Typical trips include guaranteed-dolphin tours, sunset cruises that support local charities, adults-only booze cruises, service-industry nights, live-music events, and a dogs-and-dolphins experience that safely brings pets aboard. The fleet is captained by Captain Christian, who leads many of the signature cruises and emphasizes safe, environmentally responsible wildlife viewing. Tickets for specific themed cruises often include complimentary beverages or event perks such as stickers and signed posters, and some voyages require proof of industry status for special offers.
