I did know about the cancellation policy and took a chance. I honestly thought that they would be more flexible and reasonable with travelers (especially k owing how flights have been going nowadays). I had to cancel due to late arrival. There was no refund, not even a partial refund. Very frustrating, and made our already delayed trip more expensive and disappointing.

Jill you didn't notify us of you were canceling out of your afternoon tour until an hour before departure. Yet you knew about your long flight delay very early that morning. We can set aside the 24hr cancellation policy if you give us 8 hours notice. But not 1 hour. That's too much to ask from a small company like ours.

Great tour - our captain was great and shared lots of local knowledge on the ride out. We saw dolphins and had one 'surf' in our wake. We also spotted a couple of manatees on the way out. Once we got to the beach, we snorkeled and found lots of shells and sand dollars. We were lucky enough to have a manatee swim right through our group. Our captain gave us good recommendations for lunch. Highly reccomend!

Captian Tim and crew were amazing!! The boat only holds 6 passengers so it feels like a private charter!! The Captain was knowledgeable about the area, the marine and wildlife and shared some very interesting facts with us. The crew was very motivated to find dolphins and we did! They also found a beach spot to dock at that wasn't packed, which I thought would be nearly impossible considering it was a holiday weekend, but once again they were successful! We explored the small island we docked at, did some shelling, and snorkeling. They even flagged down the hot dog boat so everyone who wanted to could purchase snacks. On the way back to the marina we were lucky enough that our Captain spotted a manatee that we watched swim around and surface for air a few times, it was the perfect ending to an amazing trip. We are local and have a lot of visitors, we have used other boating services before but none compare to this company for a nice afternoon boating trip. We will definitely be using Island Ferry again in the future and we will always request Captain Tim!!! Thanks for an amazing afternoon on the water!
