“Captain Paul and his crew member Chase were amazing! I booked this experienxe for my boyfriend’s birthday and it did not disappoint! The boat ride was so relaxing and stopping at Sand Dollar Island(?) was an added bonus - we were able to see the sunset there and hop off the boat if we wanted to. Seeing the lights under the bridge was phenomenal. Best experience we could have had! Thank you, Captain Paul and Chase for a great time!”

A practical review of Madeira Beach’s 90-minute Dolphin Quest cruise, with dolphin sightings, waterfront homes, guides, pricing, and booking tips.
“A great and relaxing cruise for Dolphins watch in St Pete Bay. We saw a lot of dolphins. The tour guide lady and the captain are very nice. A negative side is too cold during the cruising due to the particular chilly weather on the day of 12/30/2025. Also one-hour earlier arriving at the dock seems unnecessary.”
