Overview

A fun, educational experience for the entire family! We specialize in making lifelong memories
95% of the time we see dolphin during our cruise. The more time you spend on the water the higher chance you will have of seeing wildlife. Captain specializes in encouraging the Dolphin to jump behind the boat. This is not a guarantee to see wild dolphin. All of our tours are semiprivate to private group charters. Awesome location.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Dolphin Shelling Snorkeling Cruise in Tampa?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
