About
To start our tours, we ask that you arrive 15-20 minutes before the scheduled time of your tour to ensure we can give your group the full amount of time booked. With normal circumstances, this is how most of our tours are laid out: unless requested otherwise, we will take about a 15-minute ride out to the Gulf of Mexico, to the beautiful crystal clear emerald waters off the coast. Most of our dolphin encounters will happen in this area due to the abundance of bait and the clarity of the water.
How we are different & why to choose us!
Unlike other companies, we use smaller, 6-passenger boats that enable us to tailor our tours to exactly what you want to do–instead of going on a massive tour boat to be crowded by 100s of people, and trying to stand over strangers just to catch a glimpse of the dolphins or other marine animals.
