Additional Information

Dogs are not allowed on the cruise due to insurance restrictions.

Guests can bring their own snorkel gear, but snorkel masks and snorkels are available on board, sanitized after each use. Life vests are also provided upon request.

There is a high likelihood of seeing dolphins, as well as rays, manatees, turtles, sharks, fish, crabs, and birds during the snorkeling adventure.

The catamaran is U.S. Coast Guard approved for up to 47 guests, with ample deck space. Reservations may be limited for social distancing. Shade is available on half of the boat, and seating is comfortable.

Motion sickness is rare, but Motion Eaze is recommended if needed. Swimming with dolphins in the wild is prohibited by federal law, as they are endangered and susceptible to human illnesses.

Non-swimmers can request a life vest and assistance in the waist-deep water at the swim site.

The boat offers hula hoops, water soakers, music, and even disco laser lights for entertainment. Shells can be kept if empty, but those containing marine life should be released to preserve the ecosystem.

Cancellation policy

If you cancel less than If a party decides that they do not want to go on the trip, we must have cancellation at least 48 hours prior to your trip.

Know before you go

On cruises with swimming activities, come prepared with your swimsuit and sunscreen worn under your clothes. Bring lotion-type sunscreen for re-application instead of spray or squirt sunscreens to avoid slippery and dangerous decks.

For Fort Walton Beach snorkeling or leisure cruises, consider bringing a cooler with drinks and snacks. Alcohol is allowed, but avoid glass drinking glasses. Pack a bag with essentials like a hat, camera, sunglasses, towels, and lotion-type sunscreen. Remember to bring extra money for a gratuity for the mate. Avoid using spray or squirt sunscreen.

In case of rain, we prioritize guest safety and will cancel trips during hazardous weather conditions like lightning or thunder. However, light rain or drizzle won't deter us from swimming, as tropical areas often experience brief rain events called cloud bursts. We may delay cruise departures by up to 30 minutes if the weather seems likely to improve.

If a cruise returns to the dock before completing half of the trip due to unsafe weather, each party will receive a raincheck valid for up to one year to be used on a future cruise. No compensation is provided if more than half of the cruise has been completed.
The Captain has full responsibility for the safety of the boat and passengers, and their decision determines whether a trip proceeds or not.

The customary gratuity for most excursion boats is 18%-20% of the total ticket price. For parties of 8 or more, an 18% gratuity will be automatically charged. Note that tipping via card only allows increments of $5.
