| We met our boat and captain, John, at the dock in Key West. From the start John was friendly, personable and accommodating. First, John took us to watch the dolphins. He showed us several groups, one even included a baby. My son and wife were excited to see the dolphins especially when they jumped from the water. John then asked if we would like to snorkel at the coral reef, of course we said yes. On our way to the reef, John invited us to have water and a snack, very tasty fruit provided by John. He then turned on some relaxing music as we cruised to the reef. Upon arrival John asked who was going in the water and it was only me. He offered to accompany me so I didn’t have to experience the reef alone, and I accepted. It was an awesome experience. After getting back on board, John took us to several locations around Key West and provided some history of the places we visited. This was a great adventure and John made it even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this excursion.

| We chose DolphinWatch based on web recommendations and were not dissapointed. A single trip is with 6 persons max so you can enjoy without being distracted by a large group. I have not taken trips with any other providers and can not compare but DolphinWatch can certainly be recommended. |

| This experience was the best! I took this trip on 10/16/09 when I was in Key West for a business trip, but had some free time. Being I was alone, I was a bit nervous, but after meeting the Captain I was immediately put at ease. This is a very hands on experience, much different than another snorkeling adventure I took at Key West. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone wanting to experience dolphins in their natural habitat and wanting to experience other creatures of the ocean close up. There are no words to describe the feelings of seeing the dolphins play, mate...just be dolphins. Unbelievable! The Captain got in the water with us, making a point of showing various creatures he would see. A very neat experience, one I hope to go back to in a few years, this time with my family. |

| Seeing the Dolphins the way they should be, free and wild, playing and jumping with no interference from us. You can tell John really loves what he does and is totally respectful of the Dolphins. He knows a lot about them and willing to share if you ask questions. The highlight of my trip to Key West! Thank you John! |

| Dolphin Watch was fun, educational, relaxing and best of all we saw lots of dolphins in their natural habitat. Capt. John answered our questions, guided us to the dolphins and helped us explore the ocean while snorkeling. It was a wonderful way to explore the waters of Key West and we have good memories of our trip. We plan to do it again when we visit Key West. |

| The 4 hours we spent on the ship were great! A fantastic combination of relaxing and exciting when we see the dolphins. With just 6 people it was so comfortable, did not feel rushed or like an anonymous tourist. Snorkelling in the middle of the ocean seemed scary at first but after we got it in it was a piece of cake. It was wonderful. |

| The boat trip was a highlight of our vacation in the keys. Captain Paul was very patient and persevered - we observed a total of 6 dolphins in two separate areas - despite the fact that other other operators were radioing in that dolphins were not to be found that afternoon.
Snorkeling in the reef was great fun ... Paul led us into some deep areas of the reef, where we were treated to the sight of 5 enormous sting rays, parrot fish, lobster and other colorful fish. The boat ride was smooth and, mercifully, fairly quiet.
A highly recommended trip! |

| I would highly reccomend Dolphin Watch Charter. They provide a amazing personal experience. The experience you get as part of a small group cannot be compared to the mega charters taking out dozens of people at the same time. The boat was very nice, and our captian was a great guy. |
