I live in Richmond, Kentucky. My daughters, my sister and I went to Destin from Oct 4-11, 2009. We had a wonderful time. I had never been to Destin Florida before, so I went on line and looked at local attractions to decide what to do once we got there. My daughter and I wanted to go on a dolphin... more
Sailed for an hour sown to Ft Walton Beach pier. Saw a few fins. Turned around and sailed back. Plenty of people getting seasick! more
We apologize that your cruise experience aboard the Southern Star was not what you expected. We always strive to attain the highest standards of service in all aspects of our company, and we regret that our Dolphin Cruise did not meet those expectations for you. Please do keep in mind that we have no control over how active the dolphins...
My husband, two and three year old, and I went on this the last week in july. we went in the morning, and saw tons of dolphins.....it was amazing!! the price was great! it's a great family atmosphere, and they cater to children! kids had a chance to drive the boat and get a prize out of the treasure chest.... more
Great cruise---grandchildren saw baby dolophins. Capt was very informative. more
Having grown up in this area, I was on a complimentary cruise because of a relationship with Southern Star and the business I work for. I have seen dolphins from the shore and from boats all of my life so I expected just to see a few dolphins swimming along with the boat. What we saw were several dolphins doing... more
We had been on the Star for 15-20 minutes just enjoying the view of the sun setting slowly into the Gulf. We really hadn't seen any dolphins and our expectations were low. After all, the dolphins are not captive creatures. My daughter and I happened to be standing at the front of the boat when I looked down into the... more
The cruise was a little long for what we saw. We saw three dolphins in two hours and we just circled around the same three. I have a 4 and a 6 year old and they were definately wanting it to end. The advertisements made a big deal out of the "glass bottom boat" and they were just a few... more
We are very sorry to hear that our Dolphin Cruise did not meet your expectations. While we do advertise that the Southern Star is a Glass-Bottom Boat, we must adhere to certain regulations set by the US Coast Guard. The amount of glass on the bottom of our boat is the most allowable for vessels sailing into the Gulf of...
We recently took the cruise it was wonderful!! For what it costs, 2 hours was quite a bit of time on the water. We saw tons of dolphin, my son got to drive the boat(let us take photos for free), and gave all the kids fritos to feed the birds. The boat stopped on the way back to watch the... more
We just came back from a 7 day stay in Destin and had added the Southern Star Dolphin Cruise to our list of activities. After some hard time finding the ship mostly due to bad traffic on HW98 and some confusion on where it is located we got there just a few minutes before departure. I must say that I... more
Thank you for cruising with us! We appreciate your feedback, and apologize for the inconvenience in finding our ticket booth. Since your visit, we have updated our phone system with a message containing very detailed directions. The Captain has also modified the Harbor Cruise to include more history of the area. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your...
The cruise begins with a tour of the restaurants in the harbor. Followed by a tour of a cross that survived some hurricane. This was accompanied with the captain informing us that its proof that our savior is looking over us. This was followed by a slow ride out into the gulf of Mexico, only about 100 yards out into... more
