Private Only Dolphin Boat Tours

We absolutely loved our Sunset Dolphin Watching Tour and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We took the tour on the day of our wedding with our parents, which made the experience even more special. Our captain Martin and his wife René were absolutely incredible – so warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making the trip memorable. We saw so many dolphins, enjoyed a beautiful sunset, and created countless amazing memories that we will cherish forever. It was truly the perfect way to celebrate such a special day. A huge thank you to Martin and René for making our wedding day even more unforgettable! ❤️🐬🌅 We would absolutely recommend this tour and would book it again in a heartbeat!

We had the most incredible time on the Dolphin Boat Tour, especially the sunset and dolphin-watching experience! The crew was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife. The private boat ride itself was relaxing and scenic, and we were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins swimming right beside the boat—it was truly magical. As the sun began to set, the view was absolutely breathtaking, casting a golden glow over the water and making the entire experience feel like something out of a dream. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to connect with nature and experience the beauty of the ocean 🌅🐬 The atmosphere was perfect, and the private DJ on board made the experience even more special! 🎶✨ Thank you for this amazing tour – we’ll remember it for a long time. See u next time 🤗 Duke&Duke Grand Voyages says Thank you 🐬☀️🇺🇸❤️ Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. It’s an unforgettable adventure that combines the thrill of dolphin watching with the peacefulness of a stunning sunset.

From the beginning, when you are greeted in the tiki hut, until the end, when you glide back into the dock, this Dolphin Tour goes beyond expectations. Its name is 100 percent correct too. Captain Martin gave us a brief explanation of boating safety, while his wife Renee, served us fresh baked, still warm, chocolate chip cookies on the side. The boat was equipped with ice, and we enjoyed our BYOBs as we cruised through the canal towards open water. The weather on our special day happened to be perfect. (If you are not so lucky, the cancellation policy is forgiving and you are not coerced into cruising in unfavorable conditions.) Then we got what we came for! We saw more dolphin action than the Discovery Channel could offer. My guests were thrilled, because dolphins where they live in England are somewhat rare. I especially enjoyed the fact that our cruise was private. This is a class act. Don't hesitate if you are considering this excursion. It is perfect.

Loved the long ride thru several canals to get to the Gulf Of America! It took about 40 ‘minutes and was so peaceful. We did see several dolphins and they had a baby with them. Ocean water was chopped but we felt very safe with Captain Martin.

What fun! We saw so many dolphins, it was relaxing and joyous. Wouldn’t trade the experience for any other boat tour available here. Martin was kind and easy going. Loved going through the canals looking at the mangroves before hitting the gulf. Would definitely recommend!

Martin is the best ! We had an absolutely amazing time and can’t recommend him enough. We took this tour as part of our girls trip and saw so many dolphins - our private boat was so serene - would highly recommend going with Martin.

A wonderful, successful tour with many wonderful experiences and moments with our children that we will remember for a long time. The tour is highly recommended and we saw lots of dolphins. Super service and also informative. Great Job! AAA+++ 👍🏼 Thank you very much. Stefan, Andrea, Maximilian & Lionel from munich.

Captain Martin and first mate Rene provide a truly memorable experience. They are so knowledgeable about the Dolphin and area. You are in safe caring hands. Highly recommend them.

Captain Martin and his wife Renee were so nice! Renee welcomed us with freshly baked cookies. We had a great ride through the canals and into the open water where we saw dolphins and the Sanibel lighthouse. Martin had great tunes, especially the German music that the dolphins love! He took great pictures throughout the trip and sent them to us too!

We had the most amazing time with Captain Martin and Renee. We took the evening sunset cruise, and saw so many dolphins, which is what our plan was. Captain Martin made sure that he stayed in the areas as long as we were seeing dolphins and did everything he could to make the trip perfect in our opinion. We also got to see lots of beautiful homes in the canal. The hospitality could not have been better. You will surely enjoy this Cape Coral boat ride.

We had a great time with captain Martin. It was the best part of our vacation. We saw so many dolphins. And sunset was great. It was like riding with friends. Thank you for wonderful memories for our family! Mrs. Martin thank you for caring for us. We definitely will see you next year and we highly recommend captain Martin for Boat rides.

We did a sunset dolphin tour with Martin and Rene. I can really recommend the tour with both of them. It was an incredibly beautiful trip on a great boat, we were able to see some dolphins and enjoy the beautiful sunset. Martin and Rene are super nice and told us a lot about Florida and Cape Coral and took some pictures from us. We would definitely come again. Thank you very much Rene and Martin, we had a lot of fun and such a great time on board. It was one of the best highlights of our Florida trip. And also thanks so much for the nice cookies, we enjoyed it. 😊🐬

Loved seeing the dolphins and Flamingos. The hosts were so nice and made this an enjoyable excursion.

What an amazing experience. Rene and Martin are incredible hosts! First, we saw dolphins everywhere we went. We even had a manatee sighting! It was a little cool and breezy at the beginning of our trip and Rene so kindly gave us a blanket and some towels (and cookies!) to keep us comfortable. We had two young kids - ages 5 and 6 - and they loved it! Martin and Rene were so kind and informative. They know a lot about the area and shared some great stories with us. I would highly recommend this tour! I can’t say enough great things about the experience or Rene and Martin. Genuinely great humans providing a really wonderful experience.

I booked this tour with the hopes of going on a boat and possibly see some dolphins. We got an above and beyond experience! We met our captain and his lovely wife at their humble abode and walked through their side yard to check in at the cutest Tiki hut! From there we boarded their boat and took off through the canals to open ocean where we discovered beautiful wildlife and many dolphins!! Rene and Capt Martin are just the kindest souls to show us their world and we cannot wait to do it again!!

Had a girl's weekend and booked this tour! We had a great time would definitely recommend! Captain Martin is very experienced and his wife is a fantastic mate! Will definitely go again!

We highly recommend this tour. You should 1000% book them!! We are locals and had our friends in from Minnesota. Captain Martin was very professional and communicated through the entire process. It was a busy Memorial Day weekend on the Gulf, so safety was top of mind. We felt safe and in very capable hands the entire trip. Captain Martin and his First Mate Rene were wonderful hosts! They made us feel very comfortable and treated us like family. Plus as an added bonus, they had a bathroom on the boat which I couldn’t find on any other boat. We were all blown away by the amount of dolphins we saw and how close they were!! There were several large pods in all directions. The dolphins even came right up to our boat rolling around and we could hear them snort and splash! Do yourself a favor stop looking and book this tour. You‘ll be happy you did. We will be booking with them again.

We had a wonderful time on the boattour. Martin and Rene were wonderful hosts and we enjoyed every moment. We were very lucky and saw a lot of dolphins making a show for us. Our kids were fascinated. We highly recommend going on board to this stunning adventure.

We had a great time with Captain Martin and First Mate Rene. Lovely sunset. Would do again next time!

This is the ABSOLUTE BEST dolphin tour in Cape Coral. Don't waste your time with the over crowded big boat tours, take a private cruise with Master Captain Martin. The dolphins love to swim right next to the smaller boat, and we were within just a few feet of them at some points. This was a truly magical experience with a great sunset to end the cruise. We would love to go again.

This sunset tour was so enjoyable. Capt. Martin and his first mate ( his wife, Renee) made every effort to provide a safe and thoroughly enjoyable cruise. They were very welcoming and fun to cruise with. Very knowledgeable about the wildlife we saw which included dolphins, various birds and even a manatee which was unexpected. The sunset was spectacular and during the evening cruise back to dock it was fun to see many of the homes and docks along the canal lit up.

We enjoyed an amazing sunset excursion and had close encounters with many different pods of dolphins. Captain Martin and his wife knew just where to go and when to see the active dolphins. Definitely would recommend!

Captain Martin and Rene were *fabulous* guides. My family took a trip on Spring Break from Wisconsin and were looking to see dolphins. This boat tour delivered beyond our expectations. We were able to see and follow multiple pods, and saw up to two dozen different dolphins! Both Rene and Captain Martin were exceptionally accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. Truly a fantastic experience worth an infinite amount of stars! Highly recommend.

Our hosts were wonderful.. We had grest friends and our pup Toby ( he loves boat rides)We saw parts of the canal we never saw before. Had a great show from dolphins feeding, jumping and playing. The sunset was beautiful.

We had an absolutely amazing time on our tour. We loved seeing how the community is coming back and admiring the real estate in the way out to the Gulf. Captain Martin had us out to the dolphin area plenty early and we got to see the dolphins play for quite awhile and got many videos and photos. Rene and Martin were very hospitable, accommodating and sweet. All of us would recommend this this tour to anyone coming to town or anyone near Cape Coral looking for a fun night out.

The Captain did his best to keep us informed, but despite his efforts to recover his boat, our trip with him wasn't to be. Not his fault and our payments were refunded. We took the Copacetic catamaran tour and were delighted with the half dozen dolphins of varying sizes that put on a show for us as a consolation prize 😀

Excellent relaxing evening with Capt. Martin and Rene. They are amazing hosts and very knowledgeable about the area. My wife and I along with our friends had so much fun spotting Dolphins!

Captain Martin and Rene were great host. The sunset and the dolphins made for a terrific experience!

Wonderful sunset cruise! Captain Martin was very knowledgeable and Rene is very entertaining! The views on the water were amazing and seeing the dolphins first hand!

This tour made our trip! The captain and first mate were so fun, personable and so kind! We loved the views, up close dolphin experience and learning about the canals. Looking forward to another experience when we visit again!

Looking for a fun tour during your stay in Cape Coral, you are definately right with Martin our captain and his wife Rene "Dolphinboattours". Saw lots of wildlife including dolphins, birds and our highlight manatees. How great is that?! Enjoy fun music, good drinks and great company. The tour in three words: well organized, fun and totally worth it! Thanks again for the fun day!

The excursion was amazing. The dolphins were following our boat and jumping out of the water for a spectacular display. This was an experience of a lifetime. Captain Martin and his beautiful first mate, Rene, went out of their way to make our experience unique. They knew exactly where to go to find the dolphins. Definitely an experience that should not be missed.

What an amazing experience! Rene and Martin know exactly where to go to spot loads of dolphins. Before long we had a pod of dolphins swimming and jumping in our wake! They were also very kind to my young children. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Cape Coral! Thank you Martin and Rene!

First of all, we would like to thank Martin and Rene for this great experience. The tour exceeded our expectations many times over. Since the temperatures were a bit cooler that day, we were spoiled with warm tea and homemade cookies. This is not a given and we greatly appreciate this attention. We were able to observe dolphins over a longer period of time, they even got as far as the boat. That's the closest you can get to the animals in the wild. We can recommend this tour with a clear conscience and will book the day tour on our next Florida vacation.

From the moment we arrived until we returned to port, everything was perfectly organized. The team was extremely professional and friendly. Our guides were not only extremely knowledgeable about dolphins, but also shared their knowledge in a fascinating and entertaining way. The tour itself was breathtaking. We saw an amazing variety of dolphins jumping and dancing happily next to our boat. It was like a dream! The crew was careful not to disturb the dolphins and were extremely respectful of the environment. The tour was also very informative as we learned a lot about the marine life and the surroundings. The time went by way too quickly and I could have gone on for hours. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Dolphin Boat Tours LLC. Not only did this tour exceed my expectations, but it also left a lasting impression. If you are looking for an unforgettable adventure, then this dolphin tour is for you! Thank you to the entire team for this unforgettable day on the water. I will definitely be back!

It was a wonderful fun tour with Martin and Rene. As Berliners we felt super cared for with the two of them. We watched dolphins at dinner, enjoyed the sunset and had a great guided tour. Thanks again for EVERYTHING.

It was great in every way! The dolphins were very active, the boat tour extremely pleasant and the captain a professional!
