Riding close to the water, the dolphins were swimming along side of the boat. We almost could touch them. Nate our tour guide was knowledgeable and amazing.

WOW- what an amazing experience we had yesterday! Nate had prepared for our trip by working with other charters to pinpoint the best chances for an encounter. Boy, did it ever pay off, as he steered us right down the middle of a 5-600 dolphin mega-pod! The boat has a low profile so we almost felt like we were part of the pod. Spectacular! As we were sailing to and from the pod, Nate managed to please everyone from my 3 year old grandson to me- 61 with a bum knee. He put on some fun surf music that we sang to; gave us info about the different wildlife we saw; worked with my adult daughter as she attempted a "dolphin touch" by leaning out the side of the boat. He even let my 3 year old grandson be "Captain Gabe" as he "steered" the vessel into the harbor. I really recommend this beautiful, personalized, intimate setting for getting up close and personal with the sea life. Way better than taking a bigger boat. Thanks again, Nate!

The trip was excellent! We saw so many bottle nosed dolphins and they came right up to the boat, so close you could almost touch them. The captain was super informative and friendly and let us lean against the sides of the boat to get the best view. 100/10 recommend!!
