This was unclear to us, and while the sail was good, we kept waiting to leave the bay and wanted to get out on the ocean. |

We didn't see a single dolphin. It was very disappoiinting for the kids! The crew was nice enough and the sailboat ride was nice-but I didn't pay $130 for a boat ride!! I would recommend the Shell Key trip-that was a great time with the kids! |

We were very pleased with our mates. They were friendly and did their very best to make our trip very enjoyable.
Dolphins appeared in pairs at beginning of sailing, but as we were approaching the shore they were in schools coming right up to the ship as though they were giving us a show. Which they were...... |

A real pleasure to cruise the bay under sail with minimal or no engine noise. Dolphins all around from the start were a bit hit with our five year old grand daughter. The skipper kept good control of the rambunctios young boys and ensured everyones safety. Good job! |

Upon checking my e-mail I saw an opportunity to enjoy a two hour trip on a sailboat plus possibly see some dolphins as well. I drove into a parking spot reserved for the upcoming trip. With printed Zerve reservations in hand my date and I proceeded to the ticket booth. We were met by an energetic employee who checked our reservations and explained where we should wait for boarding the sailboat.
After boarding the boat we were given instructions to help make our trip safe and successful. We left for one of the most interesting trips I've been on in a long time. The dolphins watching opportunities were everywhere.
I learned quickly how to use the terminology used to locate the dolphins. Dolphins watching on this trip used time on the clock to share the viewing . Dolphins at 12:00 O'clock, 11:00 O'clock, 3:00 O'clock could be heard and proved to be a successful method for Dolphin watching! We viewed many Dolphins in groups of 2, 3, or more. One of the bonus sights we saw was a Dolphin throwing a fish, finding it and tossing it again.
This truly was a great trip and one I would highly recommend to anyone who is appreciative of watching animals in their habitat!! |

This was terrific. The boat crew was professional and informative. I went with three college kids and we all had a great time. Dolphins in the wild ! |
