    Dolphin giving us a show!
    Jason B.

    5 stars!!! Captain Al and Brittany were fantastic. Brittany was very knowledgeable, gave some great history tidbits, and had a great sense of humor! I highly recommend to anyone who loves the ocean, and especially loves to see dolphins!!

    This was a lot of fun. We enjoyed every minute. There were lots of dolphins. Good for all ages. Book the trip, you'll love it.

    You can just reach out and touch Em!

    A must-do while you're in the Wildwood Crest/Cape May area. Book early. Put on the suntan lotion before getting on the boat. Listen to the rules. Enjoy an hour and a half of fun, sun and hanging with the dolphins. The crew was awesome. The boat was clean and comfortable. For some who gets seasick on a ferry, this was the best ride

    This was a really fun little adventure. The guys running the boat, can't remember main guys name, Alvin was driving the boat, they're fantastic. The energy, knowledge, safety of the passengers, all exceeded my expectations. I'm a nervous Nelly on boats lol or anything with speed and they checked in on me just to make sure I was good. The dolphins were so cool. They knew what to do to get the dolphins to swim along the boat, knew where the were hanging out, stopped the boat so the little kids could get up and join in the fun. Music was jamming when we were cruising along. Every boat we passed Captain made sure to wave hello. We got some history of the surrounding area, about Cape May and Wildwood, saw the roller coasters and other rides. Definitely would come back again.

    I definitely recommend the Thundercat boat ride. Its a nice calm ride for the most part and seems to know where the dolphins are as we saw a lot on our ride! Also, you don't get wet on the ride, which you can decide for yourself if it's a plus or minus, depending on your preference. Britney, our first mate, did a great job sharing tidbits of interesting information. They stop once for folks to be able to buy drinks or snacks as well. My only criticism is that we got there early to get in line and were told we couldn't sit in the back seat, because they reserve it for people with small kids. This was a huge disappointment as a photo enthusiast who specifically showed up early for that coveted back seat (especially when one of the families had a really young child who just slept the whole time). If this is your policy, you should list it on your website so people don't waste their time showing up early. Or you could also consider selling those seats for a small upcharge like the Silver Bullet does.

    A must do when in Wildwood!! Purchased tickets online and used their web promo code. Paid $30 for adults, $20 for child and $15 for infant. From the Adventurer Oceanfront Inn the ride was about 10 mins. Directions were easy as I used my phone's navigation. You'll see a yellow sign with their name prior to pulling into the lot. Their building check in is also yellow. Checking in was a breeze. We were then guided to the boat which was a slight walking distance. When boarding the boat keep in mind the boat is high, therefore you have to go up a few steps. I recommend arriving early and sitting towards the back for best views and pictures as the dolphins follow the boat towards the back. Yet, no worries, dolphins can be seen even when sitting towards the front. You're allowed to stand and take pictures. The captain did an excellent job driving the boat and getting us to the dolphins. The first mate was great at giving us a tour of wildwood and it's history. Snacks and drinks are sold on the boat. Cash only. Don't forget the sunblock as the boat is open and it does get extra hot on a sunny day in the ocean.

    EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Really overall very knowledgeable about area and was overall nice time on boat.

    [734] I'm joining the majority of Yelpers to say this tour was amazing. Booking online saves you $5 per person. If the site says "call for availability" then do it. We did and the time slot was new for the day so our boat was half empty. Our captains were very friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to buy snacks/ drinks on the boat Make sure you use google maps to get directions as our Uber driver dropped us off in North Wildwood instead of Wildwood Crest. We saw tons of dolphins as they loved chasing the boat. The captain was great as he wanted to make sure the kids had the best view We would definitely be back

    Captain Al is great, Captain John while seemingly well versed in history could use a Major Attitude Adjustment.

Times are flexible and boats are never overcrowded. When you arrive you are greeted by friendly pirate/sailors and you can have a face painting design on your face. Once we board the children are included in a good storyline which basically has to do with treasure and X marking the spot. The boat is followed by bad pirates and their water cannons on the side of the boat are used by the kids to wet the speedboat next to us. They feel included and enjoy the entire experience. There is a new store they fixed up in the building where you can buy drinks and such. Make sure you dress the kids up in their pirate costume if they have one as it adds to the fun. I think parking is included? I'm not sure as we walked over. I'll definitely be back!

This is NOT deep sea fishing -- and you will probably NOT take whatever you catch because it will be too small. But if trawling the 12 foot bay with 2 baited hooks on a basic rod/reel rig with the occasional hit interests you -- this charter could be your thing. The Groupon price point is quite reasonable. Captain Tony is an engaging and hospitable host and his new pontoon style boat is steady and accommodates a dozen plus very comfortably. That's about the complement we had on our morning excursion and this is the first year he is running this boat in Cape May. Top Tip: Great for kids who have never fished before -- they will land something -- we all did -- mostly baby sea bass and mud sharks. The crew is helpful and the experience pleasant.

The captain and mate were very helpful, explained how to fish, and knew a lot about the wildlife. The tour can hold 49 and there was 14 on the boat so there was plenty of personal interaction. One group caught 2 Flounders, another group caught a shark, and my group caught 2 crab and a Sea Robin. The day before, the captain told us they caught a 24 inch Flounder! Overall, this was a 5 Star trip. What I liked: Crew good with kids Crew always helping someone Reasonable price Dropped a crab trap on the way out (kids got to pick the spot) What I did not like: Sea bugs all over (crew offered big spray which helped) Catch more fish
