Went on the two hour cruise yesterday at 6pm, and we all had a great time, especially the kids. The crew had the kids and adults laughing the entire time.

Proceeding into the East Pass, the Emerald Coast’s most remarkable features—pristine waters and sugar-white sand beaches—are prominently displayed. If waters are calm enough, we will cruise into the Gulf of Mexico, just off the beach in search of the dolphins as they feed and play. If the seas are uncomfortable, the captain will cruise into calmer, protected waters in the Choctawhatchee Bay, where our resident dolphin pods live and sleep. Safety and passenger comfort are top great priorities, and you are in good hands with your captain and crew.
The captain and crew are on board to serve you, and should you have any needs during your cruise, feel free to let any of them know.
