Booked a dolphin cruise while in Dauphin Island. Waited to the last minute so dates and times were…read morelimited. I specifically wanted to book on The Duke due to past experiences. The Duke is a large boat and kids do not have to wear life jackets. The boat has plenty of adult and kid life jackets. There is plenty of seating area and the seating area is covered. There is a bathroom on the boat. The staff is very nice. All of the kids got a chance to drive the boat. Unfortunately, we didn't not see any dolphins on this trip. This was not the case on past visits. What sets this boat apart is they drag nets and bring marine life onto the boat. The kids get to learn about the fish, crabs, shrimp and what ever else is grout up. The staff removes anything that can harm them and then the kids get to throw the fish back into the water. Birds and other marine life may or may not eat what is thrown back. I will continue to do dolphin tours with The Duke. Next time I'll probably do a fishing trip.

I'd been trying for years to ride the ferry, but the weather was never in my favor. It's important to check the business's Facebook page to know when it is scheduled to run; it seems to be the most updated method to keep track. I recently caught a break and was able to ride from Fort Morgan to Dauphin Island. It really does run like clockwork and the views are cool as you're crossing. It's important to note for riders: there is really no coverage from the sun, so wear sunscreen. I'd definitely ride the ferry again, it beats that looong drive back and forth from one island to another.

The views are breathtaking--stunning panoramas of Mobile Bay, historic Fort Morgan and Fort Gaines in the distance, offshore gas rigs, and tons of wildlife. We spotted pelicans playing in the wake and seabirds swooping alongside the boat the whole way. The crew was super friendly and professional, loading vehicles efficiently and making sure everyone was safe and comfortable. The ferry was clean, well-maintained, and perfect for getting out of the car to enjoy the fresh sea breeze on deck. It's such a relaxing break from driving, saves hours on the road, and feels like a mini adventure in itself. Highly recommend for anyone exploring the Alabama coast--whether you're heading to the beaches, historic sites, or just want a fun outing. Five stars all the way!
