This is one of the best things we have experienced in a long time! Although it was a bit cloudy and windy, the trip to see the dolphins and whales was outstanding! We first saw dolphins along the coast and the captain and crew were very knowledgeable about these great mammals, which made the trip very educational. After we saw dolphins we headed out further to sea to look for whales. Our captain was notified by another whale watching ship where a whale was feeding and off he went to get there so the passengers would have the experience of seeing the whale. What a great thrill! It came to the surface numerous times (which the captain said was unusual), and he stayed to make sure that everyone had a chance to view this stunning creature for a little while. Learning more about whales while actually seeing this great creature right in front of you is fantastic. This trip helped to make my vacation! The captain and crew were excellent, thanks for a great trip!

We took the 3 hour tour and had a beautiful day for it. We did see dolphins but no whales. The boat ride was very enjoyable, people up front got soaked when we were out in the Atlantic. Bar service, food and snacks on board. Boat has air conditioning too for those who needed it. Captain knows his stuff for sure, best part was how he made a very strong point about the marine life living in the wild where they belong and not captive in parks. We boycott all parks of this type. Fabulous that this is a family run business but the upselling to purchase mugs and shirts at the end of the tour was a bit over the top.

Had a great time. Even though no sightings, the crew and ride were great. Enjoyed family time together. Highly recommend taking the cruise. Captain was very informative on history of the surrounding areas.
