Had a fantastic time with Ty and Ashley on a 90 minute dolphins sight seeing cruise. We've seen dolphins before, so we weren't super concerned about that part; we just wanted a nice boat ride. Very friendly staff, loved the information about the local wildlife and things that we saw along the way. Boat was clean with a good amount of seating. Appreciate that they don't hang around and wait for late arrivals; they departed on time. Would absolutely recommend this for anyone while in Fort Myers! read more

Sunset & Shelling cruise is one of absolute favorites! We've been out on adventures with them over past 3 years!! Always a relaxing great time. read more

Me, my young kids, and my parents did the Dolphin/Wildlife/Shelling cruise a week ago, and we loved it. My kids are young (2 and 4), and it was a perfect excursion for them - one hour on the boat seeing animals and wildlife, an hour at the beach shelling, and then another hour on the boat with more dolphins. My kids loved it! I unfortunately don't remember the name of our captain or capitalist, but they were both wonderful. I would highly recommend this tour and this company. read more

Captain Josh and 1st Mate Christina were GREAT! They knew exactly where to find the pod of dolphins and as a BONUS, they told us to keep our eyes open for a flying spotted ray came flying out of the water near the pod.As if that that wasn't enough, they slowed down right near a manatee eating near a sand bar! They are the best! read more

This tour was fabulous! Christina and Captain Josh were great guides. Christina was very knowledgeable and shared with us details about the shells, marine life and the environment. Captain Josh was able to get us up close to dolphins who followed our boat and gave us quite a show. Check out the video! read more

Very enjoyable Dolphin and Wildlife tour with Captain Ty and Ashley today. We saw several dolphins frolicking alongside the boat and were lucky enough to also see a couple of manatees as well. Both Ty and Ashley were very pleasant and informative. read more

We had a group of six people ages 11 to 83 years old and we all just had a fantastic time! Mike was an outstanding guide and worked hard to keep us on Fish. At one point my 11-year-old daughter complained that her hands were cramping from reeling and so many fish!! Mike also went out of his way to show us the dolphins and other wildlife. if you were in the area with your family, I highly recommended that you sign up for this fishing charter. read more

This was a fun and relaxing cruise! We saw dolphins leaping into the air. We found lots of shells. The weather was perfect! ​

The trip was amazing. Chris and Captain Mike provided great information on the birds and wildlife we saw. We had a great opportunity to do some shelling, watch a playful pod of dolphins, and an epic sunset. read more

Great tour! Saw dolphin, manatee and lots of birds. Very knowledgeable staff. Would definitely go again!

Captain Mike was the best! Our family of 5 had a wonderful experience both viewing wildlife and fishing. Mike was knowledgeable and patient with the kids as they caught fish and asked questions. I highly recommend the marine life and fishing combo! We can't wait to come back! read more

My family and I always have a wonderful time fishing with Captain Mike. He makes sure each one of us has what we need to fully enjoy the trip. His boat is perfectly equipped for back bay fishing and provides plenty of shade for those of us being careful about too much sun, as well as unobstructed deck space for casting. His patience and gentle mentoring always brings results. We all share in the excitement with each fish caught, and frequent photos are taken. There is generally a bit of competition between the Grands for who catches the most, the largest, the smallest, and most unique. Captain Mike can identify each and cheerfully shares his knowledge as he works to keep the whole group ready for the next catch. What fun! Looking forward to the next time! read more

We were looking for a break from the beach and this was the right choice! We saw A LOT of dolphins and other wildlife. The trip was relaxing and we couldn't ask for better weather. The boat is spacious with everything you need for a comfortable, smooth ride. We would definitely do it again! read more

We scheduled an early morning dolphin-sighting tour at last minute over the holidays and had a great time. Within the first 20 minutes, a couple of dolphins rode our wake out of the harbor. Additionally we saw several types of birds and fish. Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed the 3hr tour with Steve and Laura pointing out wildlife and land features. We also very much enjoyed the stop at a small island to look for shells or just enjoy the shore. Also important to note: the boat seats up to 40 but there were only 12 people on our tour so there was plenty of room to socially distance. read more

Excellent charter. I was very pleased with captain Mike. He was very attentive to our party of 4 and the boat was clean and had plenty of shade. Had a great time at the local sandbar and cruising along Sanibel island. Recommend 10/10. read more

My husband and I enjoyed the relaxing, educational sunset sail. It was quite exciting as we made an unscheduled stop to rescue a dog that was drowning in the water. We returned him to its owners and then continue on with our tour. Lovely sunset on a secluded island where we collected shells and enjoyed the white sand. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the captain was very friendly. I definitely recommend! read more

They continue to live up to the company name. Mike has put us right on the fish every time we've been out with him. He is quick to rig, bait and demonstrate technique. This past trip we had a first timer in our group that Mike rigged first and he had a fish on in less than 30 seconds. Highly recommend! read more

Fun time on the Dolphin and Wildlife Cruise in Fort Myers Beach - Captain Mike and Zack (ecologist?) were great in answering questions and giving us background around the bay. Saw dolphins right away and the captain got them to play by speeding up. They followed us for a good piece of the bay, and then we cruised to see another group of dolphins traveling in a pod with a baby dolphin. We also saw a number of eagle and osprey nests, and a little tour of the mangroves. They did this on a big pontoon that was covered (a little loud by the engine, but best view of any dolphins playing in the wake!). read more

Let me start by staying If I could give this 10 stars, I would. We had an amazing time! The crew is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. They took us to an island where we go to hang around and enjoy the beach for a whole hour. While we were there there were dolphins around the island and on our way back the dolphins played around with the waves made by the boat. As someone who has never seen dolphins before, I'm not exaggerating when I tell you I almost cried. Before our night ended we stopped by to watch the sunset. It was magical. Pictures simply do not do it justice. 10000/10 would recommend. PS: The no-see-ums at the beach we're a KILLER so I suggest bringing bug spray or something's read more

Super fun! Mike was very knowledgeable. We had a great day! We did a charter. It was so relaxing.

This was the highlight of our week. We were five adults and two 10-year olds. Everyone was happy with the experience and the price. We booked a week prior and lucked out getting Zack as the eco-educational guide (part anthropologist, part conservationist and very nice guy) and Capt. Gale as our captain. We saw many dolphins as promised, walked an almost deserted island looking for shells and learned a semester's worth about hyper local flora, fauna and ecosystems from Zack. Wear/bring a proper sweatshirt and a towel for the spray, snacks and water are a good idea but not essential. Hit up Doc Ford's for lunch afterward and it's a perfect day of vacation. read more

My 2 teen girls (13, 15) and I enjoyed it. We took the 3 hour shelling tour. It was 1 hour boat trip to Little Hickory Island, 1 hour on island, and 1 hour back. Saw ospreys, juvenile bald eagle, terns, pelicans, and dolphins along the way. Warning: if you sit in the front you will be sprayed! Shelling was great on island. Lots of cool shells. Water was very calm and shallow. My kids swam a little. Glad we brought goggles and towels. Tip: I would recommend a wind/rain jacket as it was cool on the boat (mid-April). You can bring a bag and leave it on the boat. The crew will watch it for you. read more

Enjoyed the sunset dolphin cruise with the family. We scheduled it for the first night while visiting Fort Meyers and was the perfect way to see dolphins and a gorgeous sunset. It's a great value and the crew was fabulous. Highly recommend read more

We have been on several sunset tours in the past. Every time it got 5 stars, but this time was not the same. it was storming in the area. Probably should have canceled the tour but the captain insisted. No dolphins, no manatees, only a couple of birds. Animals were smart enough not to be out there. We did get a sliver of color for a sunset. I guess they had added the ability to bring coolers (never remembered allowing that in the past) so had to deal with a large group of young people drinking all around us like it was a bar. It was not a family atmosphere like it used to be. I felt sorry for the families with young children on board. I will not book another tour. read more

This is my 3rd trip with this charter company and it is still great. Great trip. A lot of interesting information on the bay, the birds, the rookery. You can bring drinks and food on the trip. Every time I have gone, I have seen dolphins. I love seeing the birds nesting in the trees so I definitely recommend the sunset cruise. Lots of fun. read more

Professional, on time, knowledgeable tour guides. Learned quite a bit about Florida's wildlife and ecosystems. We had the pleasure of having several dolphins follow our boat for several minutes. It was amazing! Even had a manatee sighting. Would definitely recommend this tour company. read more

Wonderful! We went on the 90 minute dolphin tour and I can honestly say we witnessed dolphins jumping out of the surf behind our boat for most of the tour. Captains were friendly and funny. It was well worth the $30. We liked that we could bring our own snack and drinks. read more

The boat ride itself was ok, but our group visiting from New England was quite disappointed that they didn't see any dolphins, thus making the experience a little boring. I've been on a few dolphin tours (different charter companies), but all doing the summer months, and saw numerous dolphins each time! Not sure if red tide has any impact on the dolphins not being around, but it sure was making lots of people on the boat cough/sneeze during the trip. I wouldn't recommend doing this tour doing red tide season in SWFL. read more

We had a fantastic time on the dolphin tour. Our captain Mark and biologist Christina were very nice, knowledgeable and fun! We saw a ton of dolphins. They were playing and swimming up close to the boat. I highly recommend this cruise!! read more

Have used Good Time Charters 3 times now and have always had a blast; have seen dolphins all 3X. Our boys enjoy the ride and shelling at a beach. They often find cool shells and interesting nature. I think it's very affordable for the duration and what you do/see. We've always done the 9-12 3hr dolphin/shelling tour but they have sunset cruises and other options as well. Will definitely keep using GTC when vacationing in FMB. read more

Absolutely perfect time! Captain Gale and Zack were so nice and so knowledgeable! Pleasant cruise, saw dolphins right away and Captain Gale got them to play by circling back and speeding up. Once he got their attention they jumped into our wake and followed, jumping in unison. What a joy!! Lots of beautiful pelicans and osprey too. Stopped at Big Hickory Island for shelling and Zack showed us a good spot to look for sand dollars. I found 1 while one and 3 halfs so that's $2.50 right?? Lol!! Zack helped us identify some shells and we found a horseshoe crab shell that was just shed. Back on the boat the sunset was beautiful & not 1, not 2, but 3 dolphins played with us on the return to the dock. Worth the ticket price every day of the week. read more

Dolphins!!!! Online booking was easy and convenient. Parking at harbor was hassle free. Mate Augusto met us at the dolphin statute, as stated. Boat was clean, comfortable and shaded. Captain Gale was very informative of the surrounding area and wildlife. He was able to entice the dolphins in the bay to follow our boat and play in our wake. IT WAS SPECTACULAR TO SEE SO CLOSE UP! I was able to get a video of them frolicking behind us to show friends and family. Unbelievable experience. Everyone on the boat was just as pleased as we were. We purchased the 1-2:30pm ET ride. Thanks Captain Gale and Augusto! read more

We love this company and have gone on several of their excursions. We recently did the nature and fishing combination charter and really enjoyed the alone time with the captain. He took us to an island to comb for shells, showed us some dolphin spots and taught us about their behaviors and then took us to several fishing spots where we cleaned up on keepers. Then Mike cleaned our catches at the marina for us to take home and cook. It was well worth the extra money for a family looking to make some memories. I recommend Good Time Charters and Captain Mike. Laid back, informative and was nice to our kids which always makes the parents have a great time. read more

Captain Ty and Laura led us on the 1.5 hour sunset dolphin cruise. First, what a beautiful place to enjoy a evening. But everyone was on time and it was simple to get onto the boat. From there they allow coolers and drinks and snacks, which is very nice. Then they spotted many different birds and we also spotted a manatee. Then the fireworks started with 4-5 dolphins starting to trail the boat and jumping for over 3-4 minutes, what a thrill it was. Then after , we boated out to the gulf to see the sunset. Captain Ty made it a great time and Laura with her knowledge of animals was a fun time. We will be back on our Fort Myer Beach voyages in the future. read more

Glad we chose this charter for our tour. Prices were very reasonable and the tour was awesome! Seen many Dolphins, manatees and a few stingrays. Many different kinds of birds as well! The Captain and his assistant was very knowledgable and taught us a lot. The cruise took us to Big Hickory Island and this was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. We did the morning dolphin and seashell cruise and would definitely recommend this to anyone that loves Dolphins and enjoys the marine life! read more
