HIGHLY RECOMMENDED…read more My wife and I were in town on vacation and wanted to get out onto the water. However, we did not want to go with a large group or spend a lot of money. I came across Charter Finders and saw they were veteran owned. I contacted them via telephone, they answered all of my questions, and were extremely polite. They offer a discount for veterans and first responders which was nice and was a draw for us. We knew we were likely in good hands. The boat leaves from Sea Dog Brewery which was great for grabbing drinks to go and bring with! They make a good seltzer FYI. Dean and Tim had a cooler with ice on board where you could throw your own booze. There were only 6 other people on board and it made for a much better experience. We made friends and just sat back and relaxed. We were able to see dolphins up close on the way to shell key island and back. (See attached photo) Once we were at shell key advice was provided as to where to find shells. Some of us had high success. We were unable to snorkel due to visibility. The island is beautiful and not populated. The trip was roughly 3 hours long, but they were nice enough to extend it an hour so we got very very lucky. We highly recommend Dean & Tim and cannot wait to go again in the future.

Jonas and Greg were the most hospitable hosts that made us a beautiful charcuterie tray for 6 people. Fresh cheeses, meats and fruits. They offered wine but but we decided we didn't need to drink. The ride to the Skyway Bridge was beautiful and the water and weather were all working in our favor. It was a relaxing ride and we saw a couple of pods of Dolphins. We felt we could reach out and touch them. As we got to the skyway and turned towards shore, the captain asked if we would like to sail, which we did for a while. It was spectacular. The catamaran was beautiful, clean, comfy and cozy. We were briefed on where to find the lifejackets and there was a small raft on the aft. I cannot say enough about this truly wonderful crew and Boat "Sweet Escape ". I highly recommend and will use them again! Thank you guys for a truly amazing time. My family was blown away.

We stayed on the beach in Indian Shores, and I really wanted a water experience for all of us that wasn't on a large boat with a lot of other tourists. Looking for a private "captain" close to our beach house, and that's how we found Greg. We saw dolphins within the first 10 minutes on the pontoon. :) After perching on the sand bar and getting off the pontoon to look for shells and sealife, that's when the fun for the family really started. Greg explained the different types of birds in the area, the type of shells we may find. The kids were absolutely enthralled (ages 13-24). Greg was so friendly, informative and just plain fun. I highly recommend going out on his pontoon!

My daughter and I came to Clearwater from Vegas for the weekend…read more I was looking into boat excursions with dolphin sightings and a visit to a sandbar for an affordable price. I found Fins up on yelp but with only one review (I believe they are a newer excursion), so I initially was hesitant to book because I was not sure what to expect. Glad I took the chance with them to provide us an unforgettable experience. Mark and Deanna were great! The boat was awesome and provided plenty of options for shade for me since on day one at the beach I got a bad sunburn, Deanna and Mark were super accommodating, Mark offered extra sunblock and Deanna gave me advice on where to sit on the boat for the least amount of sun exposure (since I did not want to cancel the excursion) They also provide Ice, so BYOB! The trip was a little over an hour an a half, we saw quite a bit of Dolphins on the way to one tree island to do our shell collecting, before heading back to the marina. I definitely recommend trying them out if looking for a dolphin excursion for an affordable price with an awesome crew. I think I spent 58 dollars for the two of us, plus tip, obviously tips are not required, but, I'm sure they're appreciated!! Thanks again Mark and Deanna!!
