Great experience, saw lots of dolphins, weather was perfect. Captain Morgan and crew did a great job. The music on board was great and the boat is big enough to move around and be comfortable. Highly recommend.
This was such a fun experience. It’s a spacious boat, great hosts & the best way to really enjoy a gorgeous sunset over the beautiful bay! It’s the best one and a half hours you’ll spend on vacation or as locals enjoying your home
The experience was beautiful and the staff had great personalities! It was very peaceful and relaxing.
We had a great time. The crew was friendly and funny. Our weather provided a beautiful sunset and we were able to spot lots of dolphins! We would do this again!
5 Stars overall: Very enjoyable cruise. Approx 90 minutes total. Captain Morgan (yes, that's his name) was enjoyable to listen too. Customer service on the day prior was excellent. Spoke with Madison concerning cancellation for fear of rain, which thankfully never came. Our cruise was Sept. 3, 2026 The ship itself is a double decker with bathrooms for those who need it. No food is served on board. He did make water available. The one very small / nitpicky problem we had, is once we were at the Baytowne Marina dock, we couldn't find exactly where to check in. The sign was small, but we found it with very little effort. The check in point is right at the side of the Marina Bar and Grill. This brings me to my next point, which is when we finished our 530 cruise, we walked right over to the Marina Grill and had dinner, which was convenient.
Our Captain was amazing! Very witty humor, lots of personality. And, we saw dolphins!!! Would book again!!!
Great staff and good atmosphere
Fabulous cruise, great fun and value. Got blessed with a lot of dol-friend sightings. Even if we didn’t see any the views were beautiful.
So relaxing, peaceful, and fun! Saw lots of dolphins and a beautiful sunset.
Very nice experience, calm ride with dolphins sited and sunset. Crew was very polite and helpful. Will have to do this again on our next trip.
Get to your favorite seat early, for best view, saw several dauphins . Very affordable. Very comfortable, lovely setting.
Great night! Crew were great! Saw loads of dolphins last night. Took same cruise last Saturday and saw none but still had fun. Beautiful sunsets both times Learned something new.. you can bring a cooler on board. Water for sale.
The boat, captain and his attendants were awesome! Music was fantastic. We saw so many dolphins, they stayed around the boat and put on an amazing display.
Great trip saw tons of dolphins!
Very enjoyable evening. Excellent crew. Saw lots of dolphin. Would highly recommend this adventure.
Very professional but very laid back. The captain made every effort to ensure everyone saw dolphins and a beautiful sunset.
When the cruise begin everything was okay. Good music and the captain was very entertaining and communicated well but then he stopped communicating with everyone and started talking to one of the patrons until it was almost time for the cruise to end. His wife started playing music that was accommodating to her.
Nice cruise. Saw a couple of dolphins, sunset was nice. The guides were accommodating and helpful. Would have loved to see more dolphins but that’s not something that can be controlled.
The directions to the marina was awful as it doesn’t tell you where to go at the marina. There’s no one to ask. Luckily I found another couple who pointed that it was down at the end of the pier. Just giving the marina address is not helpful
A definite must do! Arrive right at check in time. Otherwise won’t get good choice of seats. Didn’t see dolphins but the boat ride and views were very enjoyable.
This was a great experience. Crew was helpful and offered great attention to their guests. We saw many dolphins and enjoyed the sunset.
Great all around. Capt Morgan and crew were great
Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. We were lucky enough to see manatees as well as dolphins on our tour. Even our 3 year old cranky toddler found something entertaining on the trip (the boat engines, not the dolphins or manatees). Overall, a wonderful ride with a great captain and crew.
Captain and 2 member crew were fantastic. Good music, saw dolphins and even a peek at some manatees. Bottled water is sold on board. Know that to get there you have to enter gated resort through manned guard shack and get a visitor pass. That was confusing since we weren't aware.
We didn’t see any dolphins🥲. But it was relaxing!! I would recommend I got cute pictures!
My daughter and I took this cruise on our vacation and had an amazing time. We got to see lots of dolphins and even some manatees. The weather was perfect and the views were captivating. Captain Morgan was and his crew were fun and the music was great. Definitely worth the money. We're so happy we went.
Its not promised that dolphins and wildlife will be seen, but a possibility. However the possibility was high in late August. We saw plenty of dolphins and Matinees
Lovely crew. Saw lots of dolphins and manatees.
Was great, calm water, breeze, dolphins, sunset was beautiful. Captain was very professional and guided us through trip. Highly recommended.
The cruise was amazing got see dolphins even a few manatees. The only downside was that the boarding was bit confusing but everything afterwards was great!! Highly recommend
It was the best sunset and our boat ride was so much fun. We would do it again next we Go to Destin!
The personal were courteous, informative and helpful. The sunset view was very breathtaking to see with the moon rising at the same time.
Everyone was helpful and we got to see dolphins just like we wanted. I would advise anyone that goes to Destin to take this cruise.
I was unable to enjoy the cruise because the boat pulled off and left us. Not a good experience. Try to arrive 1 hr to 30mins early to insure that the cruise ship does not leave you. I planned this cruise for my father's 79th birthday. On this day he was complaining of his hip hurting so he was moving a little slow. We arrived at 615 but discovered we had to walk down the long pier. We were trying to get there. My sister ran to the boat to let them know we were coming but they left us anyway. So know they will not refund your money, even if your walking towards the boat on the pier. If your not on the boat at the time of there departure, they will pull off and you will loose your money. Bad business
Very relaxing and enjoyable. Saw some dolphins and a beautiful sunset. Captain Morgan and his crew were wonderful making sure to point out when/where dolphins were visible.
The experience was awesome. Would love a longer trip next time
A very fun experience! Saw a few baby dolphins playing in the bay & managed to get in a spectacular sunset, despite the earlier storm clouds!
I’m sure the excursion would’ve been great, but it was canceled due to weather. Can’t really leave any stars.
The experience was good once we boarded the vessel but there was so much confusion and miscommunication which made it frustrating associated with checking in along with the delay for the trip. There was no communication provided prior to my arrival that the trip was delayed to unfortunate circumstances. That’s my biggest grievance. Other than that, had a great time and the family & friends enjoyed the experience.
Our family of 5 had a fun, relaxing experience on our dolphin cruise. The staff and captain were all friendly and we appreciated the calm environment they created while also being entertaining with their dialogue. We did get to see a few dolphins but mostly enjoyed the breeze and beautiful views. We are very happy we decided to do this cruise. Very family friendly and very chill!
When you arrive there was no clear sign of where to check in. Called the phone number that came through with the text. The direction is to go straight to the end of the dock and there would be a kiosk to check in. We get there and we get turned around. The personnel tells us we’re supposed to check in at the bar area. So we walk back and there’s no one there to help. Call the number again and they tell us to go back to the boat. I asked if they can send someone out to help because there a group of us that got turned away. Finally someone comes out. We get back to the boat and it’s filled. I asked them is there a Pugh seats for us because it looks full. They assure us there is. Will there wasn’t. We had to stand the whole trip. It wasn’t that great.
The crew were amazing. The commaraderie, professionalism, eco info delivered with humer but real interesting facts plus a super Playlist full of mixed genres was awesome. We saw so many dolphin on this cruise, knowing that it isn't a guarantee was a bonus. The sunset was beautiful and we were also blessed with a rainbow. Best birthday wish came true for our 14 yr old. Thanks for some great memories.
The Sunset Cruise was great. I highly recommend this company and this tour.
Great time with some great folks. Very friendly and very well-kept vessel. The captain walks you through everything and keeps you entertained the whole time!
Got there 15 minutes before the cruise. We saw no sign or signs. Asked around at the Marina for 10 minutes trying to find where to go and by the time we found out, they had left. There was another family of 4 looking with us. We were a group of 9, their family had 4. So, they were missing 13 people and no one came down to the end of the dock one last time before leaving. The ticket says to arrive 30 minutes prior, so don't be late because it will take you some time to find out where to go(or it did us). Called the next day and tried to see if we could get on another boat later that week or any kind if refund...customer service girl said no, and said her boss would call about a re schedule. Never heard anything from anyone. Just poorly marked and you would think someone missing 13 people on the boat would come to the end of the dock one last time before leaving. Lesson learned....
This is marketed as a dolphin cruise and we didn’t see any dolphins. I understand you cannot control nature, but just market it as a sunset cruise then. I’ve been on other dolphin boat excursions and this unfortunately did not deliver and effort appeared minimal. We saw lots of pelicans, which was cool. The boat never leaves the bay, just fyi. Highlights: lots of pelicans- it’s neat to watch them fly and dive for food. Beautiful sunset- lovely photos ( again dependent on Mother Nature). They played music, which was nice. Overall, a relaxing time with family and friends. 1.5 hr time frame worked perfect for us and our family. The so-so part: a little hard to understand the caption. No real interesting tid bits about the area or dolphins. - not that it was marketed this way, but I have been on other boat excursions and they usually share one or two interesting facts about the area or something funny. No service bar- which I think is stated in the website. They do sell bottled water. We brought our own snacks and water, which was helpful. Would have been nice to get a beverage for the adults. I did notice it looked like some people may have purchased canned drinks at the bar/ restaurant at the dock prior to loading. Seating was limited. I’ve been on many different types of hourly boat cruises and I rate this one in comparison to other experiences. It was just so-so. Can’t say that I’d recommend it with flying colors, but it was a nice evening and we did enjoy it. But it was lacking when compared other boat excursions we’ve experienced. All in all , a nice evening.
Sadly we were not able to do this cruise. We tried to go 2 days while on our trip and both times were a huge disappointment. The first time we had trouble finding parking and we got on the dock and could see the boat but there was a gate we could not open. We called customer service and the gentlemen we spoke to said he had no way to call the captain. We watched the boat sail off. We rebooked and had to pay additional money but then we had to stand outside for over 30 min just for the cruise to be canceled due to bad weather. Obviously the bad weather was no ones fault however the company did not text me to tell me the cruise was canceled like they said they would. They emailed me and I was not thinking to check my email since I was told I would get a text. Both times I had my 83 yr old Dad with us. It honestly was a huge disappointment to spend two evenings trying to take this cruise. I would not try to do this again on our next trip. I was told if I sent an email they would refund the second cruise we booked. So in summary a huge waste of our time and a lot of aggravation and we definitely felt that customer service was lacking.
Great fun! Captain of the boat was very knowledgeable and informative. Got to see dolphins and a BEAUTIFUL SUNSET!
My Grands and Niece had a wonderful time! I highly recommend we saw lots of dolphins. Definitely worth the money.
