This was the highlight of our trip to Gulf Shores! Captain Len and crew were wonderful. They were all hilarious, knowledgeable, and so great with our kids. Our 2 year old and 6 year old both had a blast. We saw 6 dolphins and sat right in the middle of them playing for about 20 minutes. I highly recommend!

I’ve been on several Sunset cruises and what impressed me most about this one was the assigned seats. There was a group of 10 of us and it was nice to sit together. The crew was amazing and very helpful. I truly enjoyed this Sunset cruise.

We had a great excursion with Capt. Lynn, Mark and Carrie. So fun. Great hospitality, informative and an overall fun filled time.

the captain was very knowledgeable and funny. every everything went well I will book again

Needed more time to make the most of the pass I only had 1 day
