Summary:
Great trip! We did the 2 hour sunset cruise! Captain Matt knows the waters! He was so fun and answered all of our questions! He went straight to the dolphins! He knows how to get them jumping and playing! I took my parents and 12 year old boy and a friend and everyone had a ball! We will definitely be back again!
