Perfect informative, pleasurable afternoon activity for the entire family.
Oct 2022 • Friends
Went on the 1.5 hour dolphin tour while vacationing a week on Anna Maria Island with relatives. Capt Justin and first mate Kristina were excellent in telling all about Dolphin and Manatee behaviors and how Dolphins care for their young. They made it informative and interesting. I thought the value was excellent. Saw many dolphins and learned about island history and even got tips on best places to eat seafood. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone. Our group had ages from 5 to 70 and all seemed to have a good time. We went in late afternoon and the cooling breezes and beautiful sunset made it all the more pleasurable.

Dolphins Galore!
Oct 2021
I am a local person whom always takes visitors on boat tours for dolphins, sunset, etc. I decided to give Paradise Boat Tours a try as it saved a party of 2 adults, 2 seniors and a child $40.00 on overall ticket price. Now the real bonus comes in with a highly competent guide with great local knowledge and a good captain. We saw lots of dolphins and pods of them. It was a great trip even my 96 year old mother got excited over this outing! Thanks Paradise!

Excellent sunset/dolphin cruise
Dec 2022 • Couples
We went on the sunset/dolphin cruise 12/14/22. We saw an amazing amount of dolphins. Our captain Justin and first mate Kristina were very informative and knowledgeable. Kristina went above and beyond explaining the dolphins and taking pictures. James was shadowing on his first day and fit right in with the other two very well. The sunset over by longboat was spectacular and pictures were a must. There was nothing rushed and all the crew were phenomenal. We highly recommend this charter and will definitely return a few times while we winter as well as bring family/ friends that visit. Koa was a great ships mascot and called the dolphins in. Thank you all for an amazing time. ❤️

Dolphins Everywhere!
Mar 2023 • Friends
Captain Jim and Kirk were really fun, informative, and knew just where in the bay to find dolphins! They gave us several opportunities to watch and take photos of the dolphins as they surfaced, jumped, and played together. A definite highlight of our vacation!

Dolphins don’t disappoint!
Feb 2023 • Friends
An amazing fun outing. We did the sunset cruise with Captain James and assistant Melissa. They are super helpful, and were so dedicated to finding the dolphins. It was exciting monitoring the water and once they appeared the dolphins did not disappoint. This is a fun easy outing and this thoughtful crew really made our experience most enjoyable

Dolphin boat tour
Mar 2023 • Family
The captain and crew were very interactive and knowledgeable about the area and marine life. They made sure to take us around and see dolphins. Advised on how to get the dolphins to be more active and put on a show and it worked great, they played and showed off for us. Was a great tour and my group had an absolutely great time. Was also very easy for my disabled father to get on and off the boat and move around to see the dolphins and manatees. Definitely recommend.

tracking plenty of dolphins and a manatee
Jan 2020
Last Tuesday my husband and I head an amazing early 9 am morning to hang out with DeAnna and Captain Phil and we saw many playful dolphins and a manatee! DeAnna's ability to interact with these beautiful animals was great, and of course Captain Phil was maneuvering that boat marvelously! We had so much fun and learned a lot about history, local fun places (one of the recommended restaurants we visited that night and had a great meal, drinks and very good blouse band there).
DeAnna's knowledge about Manatee's see creatures was very impressive.
So we are bringing our friends next time to enjoy.

Thanks, Deana and Phil.

Wonderful outing!
Apr 2023
Captains Jimmy and Kirk were wonderful!! We did see several dolphins. I just want to set expectations that they are many yards away from the boat and you basically just see their dorsal fins come up out of the water, BUT this was still a great experience overall. The captains were full of fun facts, information, and jokes. We did the sunset cruise and had a beautiful vantage point to watch the sun fall from the water. We brought our own drinks and got a great group photo. Really enjoyed our experience!

Dolphins galore
Jun 2022 • Family
We had an awesome cruise with Captain Kirk and Brandon this week. I highly recommend the 9am cruise because it’s not as busy or hot on the water and the dolphins are out to play. Perfect timeframe too, just about 90 minutes. Comfortable boat with covered seating. The boat mostly stays in the bay so the water is very calm for even the most sensitive to motion sickness. My mom was worried she couldn’t handle it because she always gets sick on a boat but she did just fine. My 2 year old son also loved it. The captains were very talkative and interacted with us and our son. We loved getting up close and personal with the frolicking dolphins. Enjoy the video I got on our tour.

Fun jaunt around the Island
Mar 2020 • Couples
It was a great day to see dolphins, and we saw several! One group even followed us and played in our wake as we left the area. She jumped out of the wake and did a flip right off the starboard side. Great adventure lead by a great staff. The captain and first mate were also very entertaining and knowledgeable about dolphins and the area’s history.
