    Best dog friendly activity!

    My husband and I planned a dog friendly weekend in Savannah and this was by far our favorite activity! Doctor J and Gator kept us entertained and we saw so many dolphins. Everyone was so welcoming to our two dogs. Plus, our dog got to see dolphins and she was mesmerized!

    Wonderful Time

    My husband and I along with our dog Whiskey had a wonderful time on our sunset cruise. Whiskey was very welcomed from the moment we checked in. We saw soooo many dolphin and even joined up with one of their other boats so we could watch the dolphin play in the wake. Whiskey made a bunch of friends. Very highly recommend this company.

    Dolphins & Doggies

    Our 50 lb mixed breed pup was welcomed by the staff with such sweetness, including some dog treats ready for her when we checked in. We saw way more dolphins than I expected, and I appreciated that we could BYOWine & food to enjoy while we learned about the ecosystem & island history. Would highly recommend!

    Sunset cruise with the family & pup

    Went out for the Sunset cruise. Staff was amazing, all greeted our puppy before we boarded and talked to her periodically on the trip. Tons of dolphin sightings and the clouds broke just in time to give us a fantastic sunset. Highly recommend.

    Captain Derek's Dolphin Adventure - A Fun, Dog Friendly Tour!

    This was actually our third time taking our pups on Captain Derek's Dolphin Adventure tour. We have experienced both the daytime and the sunset cruise and have a great time each time we go! Our pups were scared at first because the boat is loud at times, but then enjoyed the breeze and people watching. We have seen dolphins every time but they have a policy in which they will give you another tour if don't see dolphins. Small dogs can be held on your lap or bench with you, and there is room for bigger pups, too, as they make sure not to overpack boats. Although the back of the boats are shaded, bring some water for your dog because it does get warm when your side of the boat is in the sun. And be sure to bring yourself some libations as well! It's fun to toast the beautiful sunsets on the Sunset Cruise.

    Fantastic Dolphin Tour

    We did a private tour with my family and our dog and had an amazing time! We saw tons of dolphins and they came up very close to the boat. We also saw Pulaski Fort from the coast to and learned a lot about the history. The first mate (Connor) did a wonderful job of both entertaining and educating and keeping everyone engaged. My teenage sons loved this tour. It was our dog's first boat ride and he got so much love and attention that he quickly settled down and enjoyed the ride. I think the extra cost was well worth it for the private tour and having the whole boat to ourselves.
