We did a private sunset tour and were lucky to have Captain Mike. We saw dolphins, the girls got to help guide the boat, and we ended the tour with a gorgeous sunset. Highly recommend as the whole process was seamless and easy!

Very nice boat tour. Saw some dolphins and a beautiful sunset! As most others say it does get chilly. Bring a jacket/sweater. Pants for child.
