Although it was a night cold and wet enough to remind me of home, we enjoyed the overall experience. Enjoyed the history and the humor of the crew.

Monday 12/20/2021 32 mph winds from the north, small craft advisories posted, 7:45pm cruise, Capt says his opinion is OK to sail. Probably did not even realize we did not show because we got a text the next day hoping we had a great experience and asking us for a review. Well the review is that after boating in FL for 25 years I would not have left the dock in those conditions. Since they don't get paid if they don't sail their sail/no sail decision making is clouded by $. I hope we don't read about a terrible accident some day because the Capt said it was OK to sail.

The winds were high earlier that day but died down before the cruise tour time. Our Captain's are professionals and take safety as their top priority, they keep a very close eye on the weather and would never take passengers out if it were unsafe. Captain's get paid if the tour is cancelled due to weather, and as a company who regularly donates ticket proceeds to our marine science non-profit, our judgement is never clouded by $. It is company policy that we do not go out if there are high winds or lightning in the area, or in any seas or conditions that could be potentially hazardous. We don't go out into the ocean, we stay in the bay area for a smooth comfortable ride. Sometimes, there could be craft advisories for off shore, but not inside the inlet. We also have a USCG inspected 45' vessel which means we undergo yearly inspections for sea worthiness, safety meetings and records check, etc. All of that being said, I do 100% understand the hesitation to go out on a boat when there was any kind of weather earlier in the day, and I always like to refund if you are feeling unsafe in any way and cancel your trip even if we still go out. I will look up your reservation and send you a refund right away!

Simple, romantic and nice. Highly recommend if you don’t want to do the trolly to see the lights. Don’t forget to leave a little tip as they support a non profit. will be back for a dolphin tour
