Captain and crew were friendly and knowledgeable. The boat had complimentary pizza and hotdogs which was a nice surprise. We did the two hour sunset cruise. It was a bit long i would’ve been good with a 45 min to an hour long boat ride but overall was a nice experience. We didn’t see any whales but did see tons on dolphins which my kids were really excited about. For a few dollars we were able to rent binoculars too. Would recommend!

The family and I went on a sunset dolphin watch cruise. All I can say is -- if you are in or near Cape May, DO IT! It was a fun, beautiful, and thoroughly enjoyable cruise. Unlimited pizza and hot dogs were included with the price of the ticket. You can also upgrade and get the dinner buffet. These are just icing on the cake. The best part of was dolphins! We learned a lot of dolphins and other marine mammals. We saw more dolphins pods than I could count. The Captain also gave us a lot of history of Cape May including information around what happened there during WWII. I can go on and on -- Just Go and get on the big red boats. You will not be disappointed!

My husband and I went on the three hour boat ride yesterday. We had a wonderful time. The boat and crew were fantastic. We sat and stood in the front of the boat and enjoyed the spray of water that would sometimes hit us. The crew was very attentive to all children and adults to make sure they were safe at all times. We saw lots and lots of dolphins but unfortunately no whales. Not due to any fault of the Captain not trying. You can not control nature. Would highly recommend this for all ages.
