We recently took some out of town relatives to Clearwater Beach and wanted to take them on a memorable boat tour. Being that we live in Tampa we have been on a few boat tours in Clearwater and to date this one has been the best. They offer a wristband for $10.00 which offers unlimited beer, wine, soft drinks and vodka punch. The vodka punch is very good and not made of cheap liquor. Even with the unlmited drinks things stayed calm and family friendly. The tour offers many activities for the kids including storytime with Timmy the Turtle, feeding the seagulls on the front deck and a certificate at the end of the tour. We also saw a ton of dolphins on this tour. They even worked with another boat company on speeding up to create a wake in between both the boats for the dolphins to jump in which added to the experience. We were very impressed and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Clearwater and interested in a dolphin tour or 2 hour boating excursion.

The best thing on this tour was the staff and the captain. All of them were friendly, helpful, and funny - which is, for me, count for 65% of any business experience. Although the time we went there weren't much of dolphins, the tour is great and relaxing, you can enjoy seeing the Gulf of Mexico, and the beaches, and many houses of famous people who live in ClearWater. Great experience, thank you to the staff, and keep up the good work.

We went on this yesterday. We did the dolphin exploration tour. You can choose between quite a few different tours. Two of them are guaranteed to see dolphins. It is $22 for an adult, and that includes a drink like beer, soda, wine, and something else (I cant remember). You can upgrade to the premium for a total of $32 for the adult ticket and get unlimited drinks. There are also mixed alcoholic drinks that you can buy for $6, or a virgin mixed drinks for $4. There are also snacks that you can purchase at the bar. We called and booked the day before. We were told to park in the marina and put a nickel or dime in the meter, then you walk over to the booth and pay $2.00 for a parking pass for the day. You also pay for your tickets here and you need to give yourself enough time to go put the pass in your car and get back before the boat leaves. They greet you on the boat and have you take a picture in the front with your group. Later on, they come around to show you your picture to see if you want to buy it for $10, and each additional print after that is $5.00. Really not bad. The tour is only supposed to be two hours, but we were not seeing any dolphins for a while and finally another boat nearby radioed to our captain that there were some in the area. So we waited and watched. FINALLY, we saw a whole pod. About 4 dolphins. Two babies. They were swimming so close to the swim boundary. They went under the pier and to the other side and our captain went to that side so we could watch them over there. After a little while he finally said we had to go back because we were running late. But we didnt rush off and the dolphins ended up coming pretty close to our boat. It was amazing seeing the babies! I really felt they went out of their way to let us see dolphins! Toward the end, one of the shipmates handed out certificates to all the kids with their names making them official dolphin watchers. It was a very cute tradition to have. It was a great experience and we will be doing this again very soon! Oh and a bonus, I LOVED the music they were playing. A lot of it was oldies music that was just fun to listen to. Made me want to dance!
