We liked the pontoon, it was clean and comfortable and had blankets if you were chilly and a canopy up to provide shade. The maximum number of guests was 6, so we could spread out and change seats at times to get better views. We were very comfortable. We thought Captain Joe was excellent and enjoyed the info he shared about the area’s history, fancy homes on the water, and wildlife. He does not use a microphone so if you have hearing challenges you might want to sit close to or just in front of him. Joe found several dolphins to see, and after awhile of looking for and viewing dolphins, he asked our group if we wanted to keep looking for dolphins or head over to Shell Key. I liked that he offered us that choice. On Shell Key he gave us some tips for shell hunting. We had about 35 minutes on Shell Key to walk around and look for shells. The trip took 2 hours. No one snorkeled because it was kind of a chilly and windy day.

Our cruise was so so so fun!! We love that it is semi private so our kids were really able to enjoy the ride, dolphin watching and their favorite...shell hunting. We have never seen so many beautiful shells and sand dollars. Our kids just LOVED it!! Captain Dave was so fun, friendly and knew a lot about the area. With the boats communicating to each other, we were able to find a giant pod of dolphin. We got to see them hunt, play and a baby dolphin with it's mother. So amazing!! We will definitely make this a part of our yearly trip to St. Pete Beach! Thank you so much!!

We picked a windy day but in spite of it, Captain Joe found dolphins and entertained our girls with stories. He was very knowledgeable about the area, animals, and even shells. Our granddaughter and niece were thrilled to each find a sand dollar and many shells...and he told them names of a couple of their favorites! We had a great couple of hours and he recommended a close beach that we also enjoyed! We would take this trip again!
