Captain Cory (and occasionally Elliott) consistently delivers what sounds like an exceptional private boating experience in the Destin area. Families rave about the fully customizable trips where you get to decide the itinerary based on what you want to see and do. The flexibility stands out – whether that means spending extra time following dolphins, adjusting for weather, or skipping crowded spots in favor of more private locations. Multiple reviewers mention seeing dolphins up close, sometimes swimming right alongside the boat, plus sea turtles, rays, and other marine life. What really sets this operation apart is the relaxed, unhurried vibe. Unlike big group tours that rush you from spot to spot, you can linger as long as you want at each location. Cory comes across as genuinely knowledgeable about local history and wildlife, great with kids, and thoughtful about little touches like providing fresh pineapple, floats, snorkeling gear, and having a bathroom onboard. Parents particularly appreciate feeling their children are safe during open water activities. The communication before trips is reportedly excellent, and captains seem skilled at navigating weather challenges to keep the adventure on track.
We had the most amazing time! Captain Elliott was great & more than accommodating when Mother Nature decided to throw off our plans. We got to see the sunset during our time and it was absolutely breathtaking. Pictures don’t do it justice! We got to see lot of dolphins! They were playful and came right up to the boat. Great company to make family memories with & plan to do it all over again next year!
