The highlight of my recent trip to Sarasota was the boat tour with Captain Kathe. She deserves such…read morehigh praise. Don't bother with a larger cruise! Captain Kathe is sweet, kind and will take to see whatever it is you want to see. We saw SO MANY dolphins and so close up to our boat! Truly an experience I will never forget. We also stopped at a sandbar and saw sand dollars, sea anemones and conchs galore. She charged $30 per passenger for two hours on her boat. Her boat can fit 6, if your party is less than that, she'll pair you with another group. If you call her, you'll see how flexible she is (she was fielding calls while we were out on the boat) - she can do sunset tours, picnic tours (she lets you bring whatever you want on her boat). You can see her love of the ocean, of her home town and of all animals and people. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the sea life and about what's safe for them and legal. Y'know how sometimes you go to a zoo and you feel a little queasy for all those locked up animals? With Captain Kathe, I felt assured that she wouldn't do a thing to harm the sealife, just for the sake of tourism. Captain Kathe has two cocker-spaniels that she generally has on the boat with her, but they are well-behaved and won't bother you if you aren't a dog-person. I'm fine with dogs, but my friend who went along isn't a fan and she couldn't help but note how well-behaved the dog were. If you want to add a little adventure to your beach vacation, call Captain Kathe!

We had the best time with Kathe and Sailor; Sailor made the trip extra special for us. We had a…read morespecial needs boy in our group and she made really sincere accommodations for him (avoiding noisy areas). Sailor sniffed out the dolphins and alerted us when he saw them. The dolphins played in our speed waves, it was unbelievable. Kathe is local, lived here her whole life, daughter and wife of a fisherman...so she cares about the area, shows things like bird sanctuaries and is very careful with the gulf life. She has history of the area and a lot of knowledge to share. She has a funny personality and her snd Sailor make a perfect team. Thanks for the memories, Kathe!

I'm leaving this review to warn others about a very disappointing interaction with an employee of…read moreAMI Dolphin Tours. While my wife and I were staying at a nearby hotel, the employee spoke to my wife in an aggressive, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional manner. Regardless of the situation, there was no reason for her to be treated that way. Customers and visitors should be spoken to with basic courtesy and respect. This interaction left us with a very negative impression of AMI Dolphin Tours, and I hope management addresses the employee's behavior so others do not have a similar experience.
