Siesta Key Watersports has been helping families and visitors make the most of Sarasota’s waterways for over 20 years. Known for safe, well-guided adventures, they offer everything from parasailing and jet ski rides to boat rental...
With an outstanding reputation built on thousands of satisfied customers, this operator delivers consistently memorable sunset dolphin cruises. The crew, particularly Dan and Kyle, get frequent shoutouts for creating a fun, safe atmosphere while navigating through the Intercoastal to Sarasota Bay. Guests rave about the dolphin sightings – these aren't just distant glimpses but close encounters with dolphins racing alongside and playing in the boat's wake, perfectly timed with stunning Gulf Coast sunsets. The experience seems to resonate across all age groups, with one parent noting how rare it is to find something teenage girls genuinely enjoy doing with family. While the vast majority praise the crew's professionalism, a couple reviews mention the captain could be overly strict about safety protocols, though others appreciated his attention to keeping things under control when passengers got rowdy. The young first mate Kyle consistently earns praise for his friendly, professional demeanor. Bottom line: you're getting a well-run operation in a prime location that regularly delivers on its promise of dolphins and breathtaking sunsets.
Everyone was so helpful from check in with the lovely woman from NY to the 3 M's on the boat. Can't wait till next year.
