    Things to know

    Coolers are allowed but no glass. Passengers must be able to climb stairs to board and disembark; the boat is not wheelchair accessible. Crew gratuity is not included (industry standard is 15–20%).

    Cancellation Policy

    Weather cancellation decisions are made at the marina at boarding time. More than 2 weeks prior: full refund. 2 weeks to 1 week: 50% forfeited. 1 week or less: full amount forfeited.

    FAQs

    Arrive early—the boat leaves on time. If you miss the boat due to a late arrival or no-show, you won’t receive a refund.

    There is no parking on the premises. Use free public parking across the street (sound side) and use the pedestrian crosswalk. Do not park at Shaggy’s; you may be towed at your own expense.

    On private events, you may bring a cooler, but no glass is allowed. Non-alcoholic drinks and snacks are available for purchase onboard.

    Review summary

    5.0
    Excellent
    3K reviews•Google Maps

    With a perfect track record across thousands of reviews, this Pensacola operation consistently delivers memorable experiences on the water. Guests rave about frequent dolphin sightings, including playful pods that swim alongside the boat and occasionally adorable babies showing off. The Blue Angels viewing cruises are particularly popular, offering spectacular vantage points with the bonus of hearing actual radio transmissions between pilots during practice runs. The crew stands out as a major highlight. Captains like Steve, Ally, and MJ receive repeated praise for their knowledge, navigation skills, and entertaining commentary. Several reviewers specifically mention MJ's corny humor adding genuine fun to the journey, while others appreciate how the staff makes everyone feel comfortable from boarding through docking. The smooth rides, relaxed atmosphere, and stunning coastal views round out what many describe as one of their best vacation activities. Groups of all sizes seem to have equally great experiences, with many vowing to return on future trips to the area.

    Mary was the best hostess, our captain was excellent. Saw dolphins within minutes of leaving dock! Beautiful cruise out to different feeding waters where again we saw lots of dolphins. They answered all questions and the kids in the cruise had lots of fun!
