The Dolphin Explorer

The Dolphin Explorer is a 30 foot catamaran powered by two 225 HP outboards capable of carrying up to 28 passengers. Because of its design, it is perfect for both navigating the water of the Gulf and the backwater estuaries of the area. An excellent platform for survey work, its unsurpassed in "getting up close and personal" to observe marine life and photography. The Dolphin Explorer's design and power attracts dolphin to its wake for fabulous photographs.

The vessel provides a choice of sun or shade for those with childern, a "head", complimentary beverages and shelling bags. Be sure to bring sunglasses, your camera, sunscreen and any snacks you and the family might enjoy.

The Dolphin Explorer is professionally crewed by a USCG Master Captain and Mate who is a Master Naturalist and Wildlife Photgrapher.

There are two survey trips daily, one in the morning departing at 9:00am, the second departs in the afternoon at 1:00pm.
