What a great way to sightsee and see wildlife at the same time. Captain was extremely knowledgeable and knew right where the dolphins would be. Restrooms and drinks are available on board. Will book this tour every time we visit now! Thank you for a great afternoon. Can’t wait to take the sunset cruise.

Very fun and enjoyable. The captain was very friendly and personable as well as he clearly knew the harbor and the cool things about it. My wife was all about the dolphins we saw but I was way more into all the different ships we went past. Highly recommend!!!
