Blue Angels Practice Show - My husband and I booked this cruise for the Blue Angels Practice Show on 8/20/2025. I believe our guides name was Alex and I’m not sure of the captain’s name. This cruise was awesome! They took us out to the Pensacola lighthouse and we stayed in the area for the show. It was the perfect place! They played music from Top Gun while the show was going on which made it even more awesome! And the captain kept the boat slowly rotating around so there was no such thing as a bad seat as far as view was concerned. It particularly helped me and my husband since our seats weren’t covered so the sun was beating down on us at times. The slow rotation gave us some shade/reprieve at times. Our only regret is getting there a little late. We arrived probably 7 minutes before the cruise was scheduled to take off. Due to our late arrival we got the two seats in the middle of the boat at the back (where you enter the boat). Like I previously mentioned there’s not a bad seat for view however our seat was not enjoyable for the ride back from the show. We were constantly sprayed with water. Obviously this was our own fault and not the cruise line. I only mention it for advice when choosing your seat. Arrive early and don’t sit in that seat. And maybe bring a beach towel, just in case. I would definitely recommend this cruise line to anyone looking for a Blue Angels cruise or a dolphin cruise!

Lifetime Local Goes on First "Blues Cruise" and She is Hooked! - As a lifelong Pensacola resident I can say that I have never done the dophin cruise until yesterday. But I did not go for the dolphins , I went on the "Blues Cruise." After what has been a rough few years I recently created a local "bucket list" for myself and one of these cruises is just what I needed. I have seen the Blues a million times but being on a boat right outside the base was THE BEST show ever! And being on a boat with folks from all over was even better. The captain and the main guy did a great job and the commentary was priceless! I could not recommend this boat more, you will be so glad you went!! Don't worry if you get sea sick, the boat only goes out to the pass and it does not get into any choppy gulf waters!
