This is our third year in a row. Our kids absolutely love. The 3:30-5:30 trip followed by dinner at the Pink Elephant is always a highlight of our trip. The dolphins are literally jumping out of the water. Boat captain and mate couldn’t be nicer and more professional. Highly recommend!

We went to Cabbage Key as a day trip for a girl's outing. The trip there was smooth and easy. Capt Dan and mate Jack were very accommodating. Jack gave us lots of history on our ride over, answered lots of questions and was very entertaining.
We had a nice lunch on Cabbage Key at the restaurant, then we headed back to Boca where we had a dolphin show in the waves at the back of the boat.
Everything was fabulous. We are all still raving about our day yesterday.
I highly recommend them for a fun day out to Cabbage Key or Useppa.

We had high 70 not windy day and was perfect trip seeing a couple dophin pods play in our boat wake for quite awhile on way to cabbage key. Beautiful setting we enjoyed outdoors overlooking the marina and bay. Would be nice to hear a little more of what islands we see along the way. Would prob go to other island in few yrs hearing how devastating the hurticanes were to the gardens there. Highly recommend.

We took a boat tour out of Boca, it was a beautiful afternoon, captain and his wife were excellent hosts. We saw numerous dolphins, they played behind and alongside of boat both out and our return trip. Saw the white pelicans on their own little island. Would highly recommend omens this tour. This is my 3rd time with this company and all 3 were excellent. Highly recommend.

Fabulous time on the water! We took the afternoon cruise to see dolphins and we were not disappointed. Cap't Tom must be a dolphin whisperer. In no time there were at least 8 dolphins playing in the wake! They swim so fast! They jumped, played, and gave us quite a show!. It was beautiful. We felt safe and the boat was very comfortable. This was a perfect 2 hour adventure!

We went on the afternoon cruise around the island. Most interesting to see the homes and marinas from the boat. It was so exciting to have the dolphins following us when out in the open water. They were so close you could almost touch them. The Crew was terrific and gave interesting information about the Island. Truly a unique place to visit and this cruise is the icing on the cake to make our vacation so mememorable.

Had a great time with family and friends on an afternoon dolphin cruise. Although it was extremely hot, it was well worth it. We saw lots of dolphins and some of them followed in the wave for quite a while allowing for several Kodak moments. Highly recommend!!

What a great boat cruise experience through the Boca Pass and seeing all along Boca Grande, Gasparilla Island. Tom our captain was the best and so interesting and informative. We had many dolphins playing with us along side of boat which made for a great fun trip for us. I highly recommend.

Captain Tom and first mate Jack gave us a wonderful two hour afternoon trip out and about Gasparilla island, my two friends visiting from Scotland and England were just SO excited when the first dolphin jumped behind the boat. We went on to watch the dolphins play along side the boat as we made our way to see the white pelicans! It was a terrific trip - thank you so much!!

We took two couples to Useppa Island on the boca boat cruise today. Tom, the captain, and Jack, the first mate, could not have been nicer. They were so warm and welcoming and hospitable. To say we saw a lot of dolphins putting on a show is a huge understatement. It went on for at least 10 minutes. After the dolphin show was over and they swam away, a whole different group joined us. There were about eight dolphins in all and there were two babies. It was just incredible. Lunch at Useppa was lovely. Highly recommend this boat cruise!! The boat is comfortable, the crew is fabulous, and the price is very reasonable. Lindsey Miller.

Hello Kathleen W., General Manager at Boca Boat Cruises.... Now that we're into 2020, are you starting to "take names" (or take paid reservations in advance) for boat trips to either Useppa Island or Cabbage Key on Monday February 10, 2020? I want to make sure to firmly reserve something for two on that specific date if I may.... for my daughter and myself... looking forward to hearing from you about this! Thanks much, Jane Susann MacCarter,

How much does it cost to relax in the sun, drink some wine and see the dolphins?

I will be bringing my family to boca grande the last week of June. Should I make reservations now? Also is there a certain time of day that is best to see dolphins?

What time are your cruises? What days?
Written March 18, 2017
Reservations recommended if you want to guarantee a spot but if you just decide to go at the last minute, if they aren't fully booked then it's not a problem to get in without reservations.
