    Destin Family Friendly Dolphin Watching Adventure

    Powered by Viator

    Destin, FL

    We stand out from the other dolphin cruise boats because we also do fishing charters. The dolphins know which boats are fishing boats and they usually follow us around hoping we throw a fish back in the water or hook a fish so they can steal it off our hooks. Every boat has a particular sound and ours sound like the dinner bell to the dolphins. We have a great family friendly crew that have tons of knowledge about the area and Destin’s fishing history. We hope to see you and your families aboard.
