Would have... More

I enjoyed my cruise a lot as I was yearning to get out on the water, but I'm not sure I would have spent the bucks to take out a whole family. We did see dolphins up close, and the skipper and his partner were pleasant and entertaining. There is a bathroom and you can buy a soda for $1.... More

We were in St. Pete for our 10th wedding anniversary, and my husband took me on this little cruise as a surprise. It was so amazing to see many dolphins in their natural habitat. Not to mention, the shells on the island -... More

Pleasant and expert sailing on a comfortable catamaran; great views of pods of dolphins provided while maintaining full safety and respect for the wildlife; stop at Shell Island allows enjoyment of quiet and uncrowded beach with amazing shelling opportunities. The ride left right from the beach behind the TradeWinds resort, so as we were staying on a beachfront resort, the... More

Capt. Ian and Capt. Steve(even though he's a Michigan fan) give a fantastic tour. They both are funny and have knowledge of the dolphins and Shell Island. The water was perfect, Capt. Steve knew just where to go to see many dolphins at play. Shell Island was fun and the kids collected many shells......worth the price and memories. More
