Dolphin sightings are practically guaranteed here, and you'll likely leave having seen plenty up close. The crew consistently gets praised for being knowledgeable and fun, sharing interesting facts about the marine life throughout the tour. Captain Roger and Matt seem to be frequent favorites, along with Mary and Captain Carson, and Paul also gets enthusiastic shoutouts. The boat is comfortable, and as a bonus, you might catch other sights like sea turtles or even the Blue Angels during your cruise. The atmosphere is educational without being dry, and the guides clearly love what they do. One reviewer felt the crew tried a bit too hard with commentary, but the overwhelming majority appreciate the engaging, informative approach. The sunset stop adds a nice touch to the experience. With smooth rides and reasonable pricing, this tour delivers exactly what it promises: a relaxed, enjoyable time on the water with dolphins and a crew that genuinely makes the trip memorable.
We took the Dolphins sightseeing tour this afternoon (9/26/25). Captain Roger and Bosun Matt were fantastic. Both were very engaging, professional and very knowledgeable about all things Dolphins and Pensacola history. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Captain Roger knew exactly where to find at least 20 Dolphins while Bosun Matt must have studied Marine Biology because he was so knowledgeable about Dolphins. Lastly, a big thank you to Ms. Cindy who kept us updated with schedule and reporting to the dock etc. We absolutely loved it and can wholeheartedly recommend Jolly Sailing! You won't be disappointed.
