We saw dolphins - Captain John and his skipper are the best. There is no guarantee to find dolphins on this trip. But with our luck we found many dolphins. They were next to the boat, breeched the river and chased container ships. We also got to see egrets and bald eagles. That’s to them for pointing them out or else we would have missed it. They also ask where would we wanted to see the sunset and they delivered it. They were skilled pilots as the commanded the boat around waves to make less of the wave impact. I DIDNT GET MOTION SICKNESS. I would love to take this trip again as I can see there will always be something different. Caption John was attentive and had great stories. Plus plus

Fantastic tour! - We had a fantastic time on our sunset dolphin tour with captain Birdie and Jenna. Since we had the entire tour to ourselves we had exceptional and personalized service. Everything was great from the cleanliness of the restroom to the music selection. But the interaction with Birdie and Jenna was exceptional. Our 4 year old was allowed to drive the boat and blow the horn which she absolutely loved and took to Jenna, as she made sure she was having a good time. The information learned on the tour was fantastic as well and we saw dolphins and bird wildlife. Cannot recommend enough!

Dolphin party boat! - Captain Bertie love what she does and it shows. My niece and had such a great time. Between sharing her knowledge of the river and salt marshes and spotting dolphins, Bertie curates a playlist that keeps the while boat singing. What a great way to end a great day in Savannah.

Wonderful ride - We enjoyed getting out on the water. Excellent narration with history of the port. It was a little rough the day we chose and we still had a great time lots of pelicans and other birds. Though no dolphin sightings our captain went all over looking so I think we even saw more of the port. As we came in the sun was setting over the city so pretty!
