What To Expect

Clearwater Beach

Come join us on a fun filled, narrated sightseeing tour of Clearwater’s harbor. Enjoy a relaxing ride while you learn about our abundant wildlife, and view the area’s dolphins in their natural environment. Every trip stops at Compass Island where you can collect shells, swim, snorkel and the kids can even hunt for treasure! Excursions depart from the Clearwater Beach Marina multiple times every day. Spend an hour and a half to an hour and forty five minutes with our highly trained crew in the Clearwater Harbor on board our brand new 40 foot Coast Guard inspected excursion boat. For twenty to thirty minutes during your trip, the boat will stop at Compass Island where you will have the opportunity to shell hunt through thousands of shells, swim, snorkel (gear is provided) and enjoy the island.

Fun being out on boat and being with family. Only saw one dolphin though so very disappointed. They needed to go out further I think yo see more.

Thank you for coming out with us! I'm sorry we didn't deliver a 5 star experience for you. We do our best to ensure everyone onboard has a great experience. Please understand, the dolphins in the area are wild animals and the sightings we have with them are completely up to them. As for going out further to get more or better sightings, that is not necessarily the case. We have been doing tours in this area for 23 years so far and have not found any patterns to where the dolphins are at or what time of the day they are more active. Additionally, sea conditions over the past few days was not conducive to operate safely in the Gulf. For us, safety of our guests, employees and equipment exceed anything. I really hope you'll consider us again in the future and allow us the opportunity to show you just how great we can be! Thank you again!
