I found this excursion online and after reading the reviews, decided to purchase it on a trip to…read morePCB last year during my spring break. I've been on several dolphin tours and this one was hands down the best! The company strategically uses two "boats" that creates these awesome waves that the dolphins love to play in. There were drinks and snacks available for purchase and music playing on the speakers as you watched for the sweet dolphins which really made it feel like a party on the waves. We were encouraged to get up and walk the boat as well. The captain and other crew were very informative and eager to answer any and all questions about the excursion. There is a little gift shop to purchase items and a photo opp before boarding that's optional. Your picture is given to you when you exit if you choose to purchase it. To be honest, I don't remember the cost of the trip but I don't think it was super expensive. I enjoyed everything about this excursion and look forward to going on it again on my next trip to PCB!

The Sea Dragon absolutely leans into the kid experience and the crew does ALL the heavy lifting. Like...full-on entertaining for 2 straight hours while parents can just sit back, breathe, and grab a drink or two. They kick things off with a water gun fight, which the kids loved--but heads up, they will get wet! I wish I had brought a dry sweatshirt to throw on after. But it was ok. Also, wear grippy shoes because that deck gets slick fast...kids were slipping everywhere lol. This isn't a quiet, scenic sunset cruise--if that's what you're after, this ain't it. Half the time I forgot we were even on a boat because it's nonstop pirate chaos (in a good way). We did spot dolphins in the distance which was a nice bonus.

The price was VERY reasonable - especially considering all of the "included amenities" for the kids on board - face painting, pirate hats, tattoos, necklaces, "booty".

Captain Jacob and his deck mate Liz are amazing. Jacob after a very thorough safety talk and a hands on way to safely move around the boat gave us a perfect tour. Jacob was knowledgeable of the area. Gave us a view of Dolphins and set us up for a perfect sunset. Liz was very professional when it came to hoisting the sails and assisting Jacob with the safety talk. Liz excelled with taking care of every need of us the guests. They supplied beverages of many varieties and Liz prepared and presented the food that we brought for our cruise. We had a friend with us that was afraid of water, not able to swim, and Liz checked in her regularly to make sure she was comfortable. Both Jacob and Liz made sure safety was the number one priority without taking away from the fun asking experience. We were under the sails for quite a while The entire experience was fantastic. Thank You Jacob and Liz.

From the start, our captain and first mate were professional and welcoming. Our birthday girl connected her Spotify playlist and we sang and danced while taking in the beautiful beaches.

Watching the birds fish and seeing some wildlife while it was so calm out and not many boats on the water made it feel so intimate and special, I'd do it all again.

While the boat is at the end of the pier, it was not a ridiculously long walk for him. We boarded via a ramp with handrails, so that was safe and easy. The mates on the cruise were helpful and it was fun to be able to move freely around the vessel. They offered a snack bar with cocktails and drinks were very reasonably priced, and good. The sunset cruise goes out to the shell island, but does not dock there. We idled around the area in hopes of seeing dolphins and we were not disappointed. There was a pod that was showing off for the people on 3 boats in the area. Great fun! Update: We went back for the Shell Island tour today. Reiterate how helpful, friendly, and professional everyone was.... Both tours!

The crew came around and introduced themselves and asked if we needed anything during the tour to let them know. They also have on-board snacks, drinks and a restroom. The tour starts at Papa Joe's which has food trucks, a little store, and even a pickleball court. The ship left at 1:30 and was about a 45-minute journey to Shell Island. I was a little disappointed with the Island itself. The shells were all broken and going out to see and look for shells the water wasn't as clear as other Florida beaches. I saw a stingray which was really cool but also made me hesitant to go too far in the water, also saw some crabs too and didn't want to get pinched. After an hour on the Island, we went to go see some dolphins - there were tons. You will define see dolphins on this tour. After doing a few circles to make sure everyone on the boat saw them, we started heading back. It was after this the crew went around again to ask if anyone was feeling at all seasick because of the turning. Overall the tour was really great. I don't thinknid recommend Shell Island itself but doing the dolphin tour would be worth the visit.

As I was traveling abroad, I did not have any beach chairs or an umbrella. Also needed a cooler as the temps were at 90+. I called the number provided numerous times.
