About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- X8370PJedytak0 contributionsWOOOHOOOGreat time. Would highly recommend. Our favorite attraction, saw many dolphins and father daughter captains duo was very entertaining. Worth checking out!Written October 6, 2024
- GWRohrer0 contributionsGood time with my grandsons.Nice boat ride; very friendly crew. Second time out with two grandsons in a couple of years. Got closer to the dauphins, last time but a fun adventure, just the same.Written September 22, 2024
- juliakA2841NC0 contributionsGreat for vacationThe tour itself was amazing, Emily and Julio were wonderful. We were able to see 20+ dolphins easily. Look for tickets on Groupon first, they’re less than the price at the dock. If you sit in the back, you will get a little wet but it wasn’t that bad at all! At the end, once you get off the dock, they’ll try to sell you a $30 plaque of a photo of you + your group which was pretty annoying/disappointing. The woman at the table even yelled at a kid for trying to take a picture of the plaque! Besides that, it was a great tour.Written June 18, 2024
- W4896JCpamelak0 contributionsWonderful experienceEmma and the captain is totally awesome! Very informative and a lot of fun for all ages. And got to see the dolphins! Worth the dollars too. We will definitely do this again next year!Written May 31, 2024
- Andrea9240 contributionsAmazing!! A must do!Lovely staff, nice clean boat, best of all we got to see some beautiful dolphins (not Miami Dolphins) and learn about them from the great tour guide. Both of our teenagers loved it.Written September 3, 2023

We saw lots and lots of dolphins. The crew was very informative of the areas we were in. Would definitely recommend this tour.Written April 23, 2023
- Shaley20010 contributionsA must needed family friendly experienceWe drove all the way from Michigan and we had a blast! We went in April and honestly there wasn’t very many people so there was lots of room. We got to see tons of dolphins which was such a cool experience. The crew was awesome and fun. We played music and danced on the boat. They even let us pass around a real megalodon tooth!Written April 21, 2023
- jeanettal20220 contributionsAmazing!The entire experience was phenomenal. The guides were amazing and it made the atmosphere upbeat and so fun!! We will be booking with them every time we are in Myrtle now.Written April 5, 2023
- shaeshaee7890 contributions10/10This boat ride is a taste of Florida at myrtle beach, the entire ride was so fun, the water was so blue after we crossed over the waterway line and we saw so many dolphins swimming throughoutthe ocean. the workers on the boat were so nice and friendly and offerd to take any ones picture who wanted one on the boat. The boat was up to date nice and clean they had music and also drinks for sale. It was a 10/10 experience and definitely worth the money we paid !!! We will definitely be returning ❤️🐬🪼🪸🏝🐚Written April 4, 2023
- Nicoli2620 contributionsAmazingSuch a great experience! The captain and other captain acting as a crew member that day were very competent in their jobs and seemed to enjoy it. We will see you again when we come back with the kids next time.Written August 27, 2020
- laurawI2883ED0 contributionsHighly recommendWe had an amazing time and it was worth the money. The dolphins did not disappoint. The crew were very friendly. I would definitely recommend this adventure!Written August 27, 2020
- X5447ILmatthewd0 contributionsDisappointedWe scheduled a Dolphin Spotting Cruise. Due to the weather we had to reschedule for the next day. Low and behold. We once again were cancelled due to the weather. We wanted to reschedule for Friday, but were told they were cancelling Friday also. We were sitting on the beach Friday afternoon and there goes the Sea Racer boat by us with observers on board. Needless to say. Very disappointed we weren’t able to experience the cruise. We did get a refund.Written August 23, 2020
- 525salenac0 contributionsGreat rideWe just love being on the water so it was just nice seeing the sites around the Florida Area - we couldn't hear the guide very well, but we may not have been in the right seats. I think it would have been cool if we would have went a little faster, and to add a little fun maybe some louder music. All in all we had a really good time. Linke and Salena CatronWritten August 22, 2020
- J9264XClisae0 contributionsAmazing AdventureWe had an amazing time. The captain offered knowledge of the area and an awesome adventure. We saw many dolphins, stingray and some of the most beautiful land. The ride was really comfortable and I would definitely do it again.Written August 18, 2020

AMAZING! We sighted SO MANY DOLPHINS on the Sea Racer! This was such an exhilarating adventure out on the ocean! The sea was somewhat choppy on the afternoon we boarded the ship due to a storm further out, but the captain navigated carefully and reminded passengers to refrain from standing or moving around to keep all passengers safe. The ocean spray did cover us from time to time, but it was refreshing and fun as we motivated through the choppy water! The cruise on the Sea Racer provided such a delightful excursion for a sunny day on the coast! The music was just wonderful and added so much to the enjoyment of the trip! The captain and his narrator shipmate were a great team providing such a memorable experience for every passenger from young children to retired adults! We saw so many dolphins, adults and their little ‘pups’ too, while they were enjoying the afternoon frolicking in the waters! This is a wonderful way for anyone to add to their experience while at the beautiful ocean shores! We loved this wonderful adventure!

I was very skeptical of going on a dolphin cruise here in Myrtle beach because I’ve heard so many different stories of how you don’t really ever see any. Wow am I glad that I didn’t let that make up my mind!!! Starting off the tour, the crew was so nice, and hilarious!! The captain was very good with welcoming everyone onto the ship and his helper, she was just as great!! Once everyone was seated she was always checking on us all during the ride to make sure we were okay. We got going a little ways on the boat ride, the captain said “if we don’t see any soon I’m turning around to head back to another spot” (or something similar along those lines). And no longer than 10 minutes back, the dolphins came to say hi!! We saw SOO many dolphins its was such an amazing experience! The captain and his helper kept pointing them out and moving the boat so we could see them as much as possible. I couldn’t believe the amount of dolphins we saw!! After observing the dolphins for about 20-30 minutes, we headed back. On the way back we had even more fun listening to music and everyone was dancing and just having a good time after experiencing something so beautiful!! I come to Myrtle beach every year and this was my first dolphin cruise here, I will definitely be making another trip to see the Sea Racer again!!!

Absolutely wonderful tour and money well spent.
The crew moved nonstop, telling stories showing us a megalodon tooth, and a real cannonball. They help to navigate where everyone should sit as the water was getting more intense, very grateful we took Dramamine so we could enjoy the open boat on the open ocean!
We saw dozens and dozens of dolphins.

My husband and I took this cruise on 8/16/24. We were very excited about seeing dolphins, since the advertisement said "Guaranteed to See Dolphins". We did see a beautiful sunset, however; did NOT see any dolphins or other marine life on the cruise, which was a huge disappointment. I sent an email to Vacations Made Easy stating our disappointment at not seeing dolphins, and asking if they would either reimburse our money or give us another cruise for free? An agent called saying they would be willing to do something for us, then put a supervisor on the phone who scheduled a free cruise. We said thank you and scheduled for another cruise in a couple of days. Yesterday someone from the company called back saying the date for our free cruise was no longer available, and asked if we could go that night or a couple of nights after? Our calendar would not allow, so my husband said he felt they were just making it hard for us to go on the free cruise and hung up. So, our experience with this cruise and company has not been good at all. You may NOT see dolphins as they guarantee, so be advised!

I believe you have us confused with another tour operator. We do not offer night cruises nor did we speak with anyone regarding this request.

Our family did the dolphin tour and had a great time! We saw a ton of dolphins. Captain Julio was the captain and Jessica was the deck hand! Both were amazing guides! If you are looking to go see some dolphins during your visit, I highly recommend booking with Sea Racer!

We've been on a number of these, and this one was by far the best. We saw more dolphins on this trip than in all our other trips combined. The captain and mate were absolutely amazing in finding the dolphins and all the various explanations and suggestions. On our next trip to the Myrtle Beach area, we will definitely consider taking this trip again. If you're looking for something to do that a) won't break the bank and b) will be well worth your time, please take this dolphin cruise.

This is most definitely a MUST DO if you are in the area. We had a blast. It’s a terrifying and exhilarating experience all at the same time. For me it was more for the expertise of riding a speed boat than it was about seeing the dolphins. Which we did see a few but the ride was the winner for me. It’s like a rollercoaster on the water! And I’m pretty sure we were airborne a couple times. Those waves will not disappoint! The captain and first mate (sorry I can’t remember your names) but you were awesome! Very lively and accommodating and just kept us all entertained the whole time with his corny dad jokes lol. The first mate was walking around offering to take family photos of everyone and made sure we all got to see the dolphins when they finally appeared. Also, I read reviews where people were complaining about the music but it wasn’t bad at all. It actually kept my mind off of dying while we were out in the middle of the ocean playing bumper boat with the waves lol. Some words of advice, if you have little ones maybe I wouldn’t bring them bcuz those waves are no joke and a couple of the kids on there, including mine, were freaking out. ALSO, big ALSO, when he says your gonna get wet. He doesn’t mean a little splash, he means a full on shower and bath mixed in one. My advise is to wear a poncho for sure or don’t sit near the edge. Find you a nice middle spot and hold on tight! You’ll still get wet but not as wet. I’m telling you those waves out there can get as tall as the boat. Terrifying and exhilarating all at the same time! But overall great and awesome experience that I will definitely do again!! A definite 10 out of 10 experience!

Dolphin cruise would have been a great tour. It was raining when we started and the prediction was a downpour coming. They still decided to take us out and less than half way into the trip, the skies opened up. Everyone on board was totally drenched and had to remain that way for 45 minutes till we returned. Not a good experience. We should have never gone out in the rain, with an expected thunderstorm and downpour approaching.

Thank you for the review. I'm sorry to hear that conditions were not the best. We always make safety our top priority and would not go out if there was lighting in the area but we do go in light rain. Unfortunately on your cruise the rain was heavy. Please give us another try on a day when conditions are better.

This was a very fun excursion. The boat was fast but not too fast. We found a shrimp boat and followed it and ended up seeing 50-60 dolphins. The shrimp boat would throw fish overboard and the dolphins loved it. Our guide Emily was knowledgeable and friendly and interacted with all of us on board. The boat fit 128 people but because it was off season there were only twenty people on our boat. The Captain of the boat was awesome and made sure we were close to the dolphins but not too close as to bother them. I highly recommend this trip!

I took my 5 year old and it was the first time either of us have done a dolphin cruise. What a great experience! My son LOVES ocean animals, and this was extremely thrilling for him. We saw plenty of dolphins for over 30 minutes of our cruise. The ride was smooth, captain and crew were awesome- entertaining during some of the cruise but also played great music. We will definitely be going again.
