My wife really wanted to try a fishing boat trip...I was pleasantly impressed. The crew was so helpful. Left at 6:30am for a 8 hr trip, which turned out to be 9 hrs. There were 22 people on the boat, several repeaters and several first timers like ourselves. Fished 5 different locations about 2 hrs off shore. Each location people... More

We went on a dolphin tour in early May. Despite the fact that it was a little chilly and windy, we very much enjoyed our tour. The crew worked hard to keep everyone safe, entertained, and satisfied. Though the dolphin were not plentiful, the crew kept a watchful eye until they were successful in locating some. The captain circled the... More

This was a first for all of us! The weather was nice. We saw plenty of dolphins and my daughter loved it! We did go to the bottom of the boat to look at the glass bottom and that was neat too however, I did get a little sea sick from being down there and immediately had to go back... More

Would go again... Very nice crew and caught alot of fish.. Loved it. We caught trigger fish, amberjack, grouper, red snapper, white snapper and other kinds of fish! They even cooked us some delicious fresh fish on the way back to the dock!

They clean fish, take them off of line, you bait your hook, but bait is provided. Things to remember: bring cash to tip boatmen, a towel to clean hands and a cooler with snacks and drinks.

My husband & I went on the dolphin cruise and thoroughly enjoyed it. The weather was extremely cold and rainy so our tour was delayed but it all worked out for the best. We were able to see the dolphins off the boat but due to the stormy weather, the sea bottom was murky so the glass bottom part of... More

This was our first dolphin excursion and it was a wonderful experience. We had signed for another companies trip which "did not make"(not enough customers to sail) which I'm told happens from time to time, which would explain those complaining about their trip getting cancelled. So after that trip cancelled we just happened on Olin Marler and jumped on their... More

We had a great trip. The winds were EXTREMELY high but we were still able to see several dolphins, feed the seagulls and have a very relaxing trip. The crew as well as the other passengers were very nice. We had a great time. Loved the picture-no pressure to purchase and it was a great keepsake of me and my... More

I was told that you have to schedule a cruise in advance and I did so for my family of 9. We live about 2 hours away and was told if the cruise was canceled we would be contacted 2 hours before the cruise. Well we weren't. We were told to be at the boat at 11:00 and at precisely... More

My husband and I took the 5:30pm dolphin/sunset cruise. From the inquiry phone call, to the debarkation, this was a delight. The staff members were very friendly and seemed genuinely interested that the passengers have a good experience. I humbly disagree with the previous post: yes, they take your picture when you get on board, but you can decline. Ours... More
