Why Guests Love Our Sunset Dolphin Cruise

Dolphins and Sunsets in One Unforgettable Experience

As we cruise through the beautiful waters of St. Andrews Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, keep your eyes on the water for playful bottlenose dolphins. These amazing animals are frequently seen swimming alongside the boat, surfing through the wake, and gathering near the jetties as the evening approaches.
