    Amazing experience! I have never seen so many dolphins before and I have lived in Florida for 20 years! Everyone was really friendly and knowledgeable. I got some amazing pictures as well. I would recommend this cruise to anyone! It was an amazing value and we started seeing dolphins the minute we pulled away from the dock.

    Best start to our vacation!! After driving all night for 12 hrs, we booked a dolphin cruise for our first activity in Gulf Shores. We didn't have super high expectations, to be honest, but we were pleasantly surprised by how great it was! We bought discounted tickets on Groupon, then redeemed them on the Blue Dolphin Cruises website. We came 30 minutes early and walked on to the boat. The boat has snacks and drinks for reasonable prices and they take cards to pay! There's also a bathroom, which is great when you have kids. All kids 8 yrs old and under have to wear the provided life jackets. You can sit inside or outside. The captain was awesome! He gave a history of the area and interesting facts as we rode out to the bay. We saw several dolphins!! It was very exciting, especially for the kids. In all, the ride was around 1 1/2 to 2 hrs long. I would definitely recommend this activity! Be sure to bring a little cash to tip the staff if you enjoy your time

    We were very disappointed. We booked what was billed as a "Sunset cruise". We saw dolphins which was fun but not our main intent. We had a dolphin cruise booked the next day. We wanted to enjoy a causal sunset cruise like the ad said "Come enjoy the beautiful sunsets of Orange Beach on the most comfortable dolphin watching boat in the area!" Just as the sunset started we turned back and drove fast back to the marina. The sunset happed behind us. There is no seating area not even any standing area at the back of the boat. We also understood there was supposed to be beer and wine available for purchase. No wine only beer. I would suggest not calling this a sunset cruise if you're not going to stay for the sunset.

    The captain got us on several pods of dolphins and took the time to explain what we were seeing. I would recommend!

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We visited Orange Beach and decided to view the skyline from the Gulf with a…read moresail. There were 4 adults and my 2 year old grandson in our group. Captain Randy was a fantastic skipper who made the cruise very enjoyable and comfortable for all. Unlike some other sailing companies, we ACTUALLY sailed in the Gulf (engine off) and enjoyed the breeze and the views. As a sailor on Lake Michigan, Captain Randy let me take the helm of the 35-foot Beneteau for much of the sail. (THANKS, Captain!) He has tons of local knowledge and provided great information to our group. The boat was super clean - the topsides dazzling white and the woodwork varnish below deck looked wet it was so fresh looking. My only regret is that we did not book a longer cruise. Tom H.

    Took their 8am deap-sea fishing trip. It's a big, clean, well maintained, well crewed boat…read more There were a LOT of people - probably 55 or 60. It was a little crowded if you were fishing on the sides of the boat. The captain did his best to put us on fish, and moved a number of times. All in all, it was fun and we each caught some fish. The mates were really good - they took your fish off, cut up bait, helped with tangled rods, cleaned your fish. If you can afford to charter a captain and boat, that would definitely be more fun. And I cannot imagine taking the 3pm fishing trip if it's July or August - it would be hotter than hell. But for the cost, this was fun. Definitely a well-managed operation.
