Such a great experience with Captain Mike! We wanted a chill day on the boat and had the right conditions to go find some dolphins! His knowledge of the waters and wildlife made the trip even better. He put out the word we were looking for some dolphins and took us right to the spot . There were so many dolphins in groups all around us ! Where they went we followed and usually found more. Cap mentioned they usually dont come up that close to the boat it really was amazing . Thank you again! My family loved it.
