The sunset cruise was great. Relaxing time on the boat watching the sun go down and saw plenty of dolphins! Crew was friendly and knowledgeable, the boat is clean. Pizza/hotdogs included with the ticket and a cash bar are a bonus.

What a beautiful way to celebrating my 2nd wedding anniversary! Hubby & I were joined by a close friend who vacationed with us in Cape May. Not only did we have a fabulous sunset cruise, we saw beautiful bottle nose dolphins swimming alongside the boat. Truly a glorious moment in time! The boat captain well versed in the surrounding of Cape May. Made it easy to spot dolphins breaching around us. The crew were very professional and polite to all on board. We had dinner before coming aboard therefore we didn't partake in the free pizza and hotdogs offered to all guests. Everyone enjoyed the cruise and so friendly to one another. Nice to encounter friendly strangers from time to time. There are online coupons when booking the cruise so look for them and save some $$! Its a bit over 2 hr cruise up and around Cape May. Check weather forecast beforehand to be sure you're dressed accordingly. Our night was very hot and humid. Even out on the ocean, we were not chilled. I highly recommend this cruise company!

Tonight my family went on the 6:30 PM Sunset Dolphin Watch, despite cloudy skies. Soon after leaving the dock, it began to rain, and the storm became bad...winds, lightening, VERY choppy water. People could barely keep their balance on the boat. Instead of staying in the canal or bay, the Captain chose to take us out into the ocean. Big mistake. Terrifying! We eventually turned around returning to the canal, but had to endure a very dangerous "cruise," complete with people who were scared and sea sick. Horrible judgement on the part of the Captain and crew to keep us out at sea (and try the ocean during a major storm). Instead of getting our money back we were given a voucher for a free cruise. NO WAY.
