Had a wonderful, relaxing sail on the Indian River w/ Capt. Kris. Wealth of local knowledge & a good eye for dolphin and manatee! We were able to sail the catamaran which was a cool experience. Will definitely do one of their other excursions next time.

Very relaxing pleasant adventure. Lots of wildlife to see, birds, dolphins, etc. great personable captain with all the information you would want, or silence when soaking in the scenery. The sailing under wind power made me want to buy my own boat for the vibes alone.
The captain was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and wildlife.
This was a relaxing evening on the water. We saw lots of dolphins and birds. Unfortunately, we didn't see any manatee, but we were definitely looking for them. Nate did a great job sharing his knowledge and creating a fun night on the water.
This was the best dolphin experience I've had. Captain Kris did a wonderful job. He was very knowledgeable and was awesome with our kids! We did get to see dolphins but no manatees. 10/10 would highly recommend
We truly enjoyed the Cocoa Beach Catamarand experience. Captain Nate is a great captain and I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone that loves to see nature at its best!
Kris with a K is an amazing captain! Informative, pleasant, great driver, all about making the trip safe, fun and memorable for the participants.
Captain Brian was a great host. We saw quite a lot of dolphins and sailed some through the river. Very fun time! I highly recommend this tour.
It was such a good time and Captain Nate knew right where to go to see dolphins and manatees! We got stuck in a storm and he did such a great job of communicating and getting us back safely.
Really cool experience. The catamaran was so fun! I took my mom, my teen son, and my 9 year old daughter. Mom and son chose to ride in the boat but my girl and I rode out on the front net which was awesome. Nate took us to pods of dolphins and cut the engine so they’d stay longer. Nate knew so much about everything in the area and answered all of our questions and told us lots of neat facts. He took us to look for manatees but we didn’t see any this trip… but that’s ok cause we will for sure be doing this again! Thanks for a beautiful morning.
Captain Kris was awesome! We were not expecting a lot because of the weather, it was very rainy when we started but no lightning at the time. We went out with no expectations, but had a great time. We were able to see dolphins and manatees and we sailed for quite a while. We learned quite a bit from Captain Kris! He was very knowledgeable about all the wild life that we saw. We would highly recommend this catamaran, Dolphin tour!
It was a very relaxing and fun trip! We had a fantastic time!
It was such a lovely experience! Our guide was wonderful, and we saw so many dolphins along the way. I even got to see a huge jellyfish, which was incredible! We had an amazing time and truly enjoyed every minute of it!
Brian was an excellent guide. We saw lots of dolphins. The kids got to steer the boat.and help with the sails. It was nice and relaxing out on the water. Great experience.
Kris was a great captain! Unforgettable experience with lots of dolphins, birds and some manatees! Worth every penny! 2 hours and we saw all we had hoped. Got to explore the whole boat and my 11 year old felt safe and comfortable moving around to see all experiences. Felt very safe.
Bryan was our captain and he is the absolute man! We saw dolphins and he let us put up the sails on the boat! To be as reasonable priced we didn’t know what to expect but he performed and was worth more than any amount of money definitely coming back next year!!
so fun and was great at making sure we got lots of views of the wildlife! would definitely do it again at this same place !!
Captain Kris was awesome! Great eyes, he pointed out all the wildlife before I knew it was there.
Great experience accept the weather was rainy wild! Kris was great, knowledgeable, very experienced and a great storyteller! Strongly urge people to request him when you go! Do the Captains a favor and tip them they deserve it! Thanks Kris!
Chris our captain was great. Very knowledgeable and a great story teller. We saw dolphins and manatees.
Great experience! Small group made it comfortable and memorable! Must do for dolphin lovers.
We had family visiting from another state and wanted to do something special in the Florida outdoors with them. The Dolphin Sail was perfect! Captain Chris told great stories and spotted lots of wildlife - dolphins, manatees, great blue herons. My husband is an experienced sailor and Chris let him sail the cat much of the time out on the open water. So appreciative of that! The catamaran was well maintained and very comfortable for 6 people. Thank you, Chris, for an awesome experience!
We had a great time today on the dolphin tour with Captain John. We saw several dolphin up close which was wonderful. My grandson loved the experience. It was fun to be out on the river and the breeze was great. The boat was roomy and comfortable. Soft drinks and water were provided which was nice. John made it a great experience for all of us.
We had an amazing trip with Captain John! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, flexible with our group, and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. We loved getting to help raise the sails, and seeing the wildlife along the way made it even more memorable. Highly recommend this experience!
Captain Nate was exceptional! Perfect tour guide! Very personable and such a fun tour! Loved seeing all the wildlife! Most definitely will do this again!
Laid back and casual. Captain did a great job keeping things interesting. It was a great way to spend 2+ hours in the afternoon during our trip. We would book again!
We had a wonderful experience with our guide Nate! It was definitely memorable and well worth the money even with the difficulty of weather he still made it great!
Captain Chris was fantastic Everyone enjoyed the water, sailing and each other's company. Thanks captain Chris
Excellent morning on the water! We saw manatees and dolphins and birds and a turtle, all in the first 30 minutes! The captain was kind and engaging and made it fun for the kids. Cold drinks and a clean bathroom for us on board, too. Absolutely will book again!! Thank you!
First off, the drawbridge got stuck and we were in traffic. Brian called the bridge and communicated to us it was stuck down. He held the boat for us. We made it with zero time to spare and were off. Brian was patient and even back tracked to ensure we saw plenty of dolphins and manatees. He let my husband drive the boat and taught him the lingo and how to sail. Brian was amazing. Definitely recommend, we did the 11am tour and were pleased with the wildlife we saw but he offers sunset cruises and other options. I don’t believe you could go wrong with any of his options.
First off, we were late since the drawbridge got stuck. Brian called the bridge and confirmed it would be soon and he waited for us. Second, he answered our questions and pointed out dolphins and manatees. He was patient and got close so we got good pictures, often backtracking to get closer for us. He also taught my husband how to sail. 100% recommend. We did the 11am cruise but they have sunset and island beach cruises as well. I can’t see how you could go wrong on any of his tours. Do it, book the tour, you won’t regret it!
Really enjoyed the time on the water with captain Bryan catting around. We encountered lots of wildlife and I truly can't wait to return. Maybe sunset next.
This was an absolutely excellent experience. We had a great captain, the boat was clean and nice. We went out on the river. It was a gorgeous day. We saw lots of dolphins as well as manatee. Docked out at the island and took a quick dip in the water and then toured the river back. I would highly recommend!
We had an absolutely fantastic time on the Dolphin Adventure Cruise! Captain Nate was incredibly experienced, friendly, and accommodating, making the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish. We saw an amazing variety of Florida wildlife, including dolphins and other beautiful coastal animals, and spending time out on the water was so relaxing. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a memorable way to enjoy Florida’s natural beauty, I highly recommend this cruise. Thank you, Captain Nate, for an unforgettable adventure!
Kris was an awesome boat captain. We saw dolphins and manatees on the tour. The boat experience was amazing. Already looking forward to booking and coming back again.
Captain Chris was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife. We saw dolphins including babies and manatees
Captain Kris was a delightful guide, manatee spotter and dolphin finder. Actually, the dolphins were easy to spot because they were plentiful but those manatees hide really well. Capt. Kris spotted them well in advance. We heard engaging sailing stories and had plenty of private time to enjoy the catamaran voyage. Fun for all. Highly recommend a sail with Capt. Kris.
Captain John is awesome! My family and I had an amazing time! Beautiful boat, weather and wildlife. This was a memorable experience
Captain Kris was great! Saw lots of dolphins and manatees! It was fun, relaxing and informational! Highly recommend!
Nice and relaxing after spending days at the beach. It was great seeing at least 10 dolphins. The captain made the experience even better. Super cool individual!
Absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived everything was perfect! The captain was very attentive and friendly. He made sure we understood everything, where everything was and what was available to us. My little family of three was on our first sailboat ride. Our little 6 yr old loved driving the boat and had the biggest smile. These will be memories forever for Our Little Family. Thank you so so much for a wonderful experience!
Our 3rd time and always a great time and you will see a lot of dolphin and manatee. Kris is a great captain.
Awesome trip with Nate. We saw wildlife and many dolphin. He educated us on different species. Great time. Highly recommend.
Captain Kris was extremely knowledgeable and had interesting facts about the area and the wildlife. We loved it!
Captain Kris was excellent! He was very knowledgeable and shared many cool facts about the wildlife we encountered. We had a great afternoon out on the water seeing dolphins and manatee. We would definitely return!!
We saw lots of dolphins as well as manatees. Our captain was super friendly and informative. He had lots of cool facts about area as well as the wildlife we saw.
My mom and I went and it was a great experience. We saw alot of the local wildlife, including dolphins and manatees. A wonderful few hours spent.
We had a wonderful trip out this morning! We were able to see a few manatees & dolphins. Our guide was great! He even let the girls drive the sailboat on the way back in! So far it was my favorite experience on our trip! I would absolutely recommend boating-sailing with Cocoa Beach Catamaran!
Capt. John was ready and waiting for us as we showed up at the requested 15min early timeframe. He is also very informative of sites to visit, things to do, places to eat, and general information of the local area. We had a good outing to see dolphins and even though the winds were not quite in our favor he was able to get in a little sailing time for us newbies. Would highly recommend booking a trip with them again.
Nate was very knowlegable about the wildlife and the area. We did see a ton of dophins and enjoyed our day.
