Hubbards Marina Dolphin Watching Tour — Local services in Madeira Beach

Went on the dolphin watching boat tour on May 23rd at 11:00am. First thing of note was the price - 1 and1/2 hours for 29.00 dollars is a steal! Well worth the price and then some. Second thing of note is that I have a mobility issue and walk with a cane. I was worried about getting on and off the boat safely. The guys loading the boat were all about getting me on board and off. They were fabulous and a great help. I appreciate that. Third thing of note is that I am deathly afraid of boats due to a capsize incident and being stranded in the middle of Chesapeake Bay for nearly 30 minutes before being rescued. The crew made me feel safe and comfortable and 5 minutes in I was fine. The boat tour was as promised. We saw many dolphins, a manatee, sting rays, pelicans and too many sea birds to mention. The gentleman narrating was both funny and informative. I highly recommend this company for any of their tours. You won’t be...

Well they did come through on the one thing they said which is seeing dolphins. All we saw was a few though. The rest of the ride was the boat captain driving around and telling you who lives in what houses along with his infatuation with a random boat that someone owns.

I was bored to the point of falling asleep. The only thing that was keeping me awake was the horrendously uncomfortable seats on the boat. After sitting for 20 minutes I was hurting and wanted the boat ride to be over. Save your money and go to a different dolphin watching boat. I talked to some other people and they said that one of the other dolphin cruises does a fantastic job and the drinks are free. They were not impressed with this dolphin cruise either.

Moral of the story is if you want to do a dolphin cruise DO NOT go here. Find a...

Hubbards Marina is a 10 Star Place! We went down to the pier just to walk around and my wife suggested a sunset cruise. It's more for the 21+ crowd since it has free wine and beers. Anyway, we get there and they only had 2 seats left. We had two adults and two kids. By rule of the US Coast Guard, the cannot have more people on board then allowed. Meaning 60 people max is 60 people, doesn't matter if it's a 1 year old or 100 year old, one person is one person. They were at 58! They asked us to wait to see if anyone doesn't show... I thought this was kinda pointless since there where 5 other people trying to buy tickets behind us. But we stepped aside, we waited, two people dropped off, and instead of selling our seats to people ($40+ bucks a seat) they made sure all four of us got on the boat. ...
