Why This Sunset Cruise is Different
Dolphins in the morning
Morning is a great time to get out on the water — calmer vibes, fewer boats, and beautiful light for photos. Dolphins often cruise and feed in the area, and you may even see them playing near the boat’s wake or right along side the boat.
Free donuts onboard
Enjoy complimentary freshly baked donuts while you cruise — the perfect way to turn a dolphin tour into a memorable morning experience (especially with kids).
Comfortable boat built for sightseeing
Our boat is set up for great viewing and comfort: full restroom onboard, shaded seating for sun protection, comfortable padded perimeter seating and a dedicated forward viewing area for dolphin spotting
What to Expect
1) Easy morning boarding and Easier Parking
Meet at Clearwater Beach Marina. Arrive 30 minutes early so you can board calmly and pick your seats.
2) Coastal cruise + dolphin searching
We’ll cruise along Clearwater’s coastline and look for dolphins surfacing and swimming nearby. Our crew shares fun facts about dolphin behavior and the local area.
3) Photo-worthy moments
