Never Disappointed - We have booked this tour on three different occasions. Each time we brought a different group of friends with us. We have never had a bad trip. On the second trip we didn’t see a LOT of dolphin but we always see a great number of wildlife. This most recent trip we saw more dolphin and manatee than you can count. Captain Jim and his crew were so nice. While they can never guarantee seeing dolphin. Captain Jim said he’s never been shut out completely. And today was a grand slam!

Great experience - The captain was very knowledgeable Very nice cruise. Saw some dolphins & manatees, but the manatees were from a distance, so couldn’t see their full body. Overall it was a great trip.

Mosquito Lagoon private boat tour - On 2025 Memorial Day weekend Saturday, our group of friends which consisted of 17 people booked a private tour on this boat. Two of our friends who has a holiday home very close to this boat tour start location have been on it but none of the others. We were met first by Kevin and then by Jessie and a second female companion from Dallas that I didn’t catch the name. The tour was great and since we arrived way earlier than the scheduled start, they started the tour much earlier. Jessie who piloted the boat also gave a running commentary on the wild life and important features on land with Kevin pitching in. We managed to see a pod of dolphins that seem to move with us a little bit and even started following us for a short period when Jessie gunned the engine. We had several bird sightings including gray blue herons, white herons, one osprey and several manatee sightings. Everyone on the tour group thoroughly enjoyed the tour and only good things to say about it. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to go around mosquito lagoon in New Smyrna Beach in a boat accompanied by a guided tour with Jessie and Kevin. They were highly professional, knowledgeable, very friendly and readily answered any questions we had right away.

10/10 - We took the two hour tour in hopes of seeing manatees and dolphins -it didn’t disappont and we saw several of each. We even ‘rode with the dolphins’ The guides knew right where the animals would be hanging out. Jesse and Kevin were knowledgeable and great guides . (Thank goodness the fictitious Susie and Fred were no where to be seen :))
