Come aboard The Dolphin Boat! A fun 90 minute excursion!
Book this boat! Had a total blast checking out the dolphins around the Marina and LA coastline. Joey is a professional captain and was very knowledgeable about the best spots to view dolphins. He also showed us the cute sea lions around the marina and breakwater wall. The boat was set up very well for viewing with comfortable cushioned seating across four rows. There are towels and blankets aboard but make sure to wear clothes that can get a splash or two on them - that’s part of the fun. This is a great excursion for friends or family or kids. Didnt need to bring food or drinks as it’s only a couple of hours and they have water bottles on board. Highly recommend. There is nothing like this around for this quality and price! Great value.

Huge Bow Cushion! Bar Deck, Stabilizers - 50ft Motor Yacht in Marina del Rey
Our experience was nothing less than amazing. The Captain & crew were so helpful and hospitable. They did an incredible job loading & unloading us. And had everything we needed stocked & ready for use. The boat is exactly how it looks & is described. Thank you for a wonderful day on the water.

Come aboard The Dolphin Boat! A fun 90 minute excursion!
This was the best thing I’ve done in LA. I had an incredible experience on this boat tour. The crew was very professional and informative and also very fun and engaging. Being so close to dolphins in the wild as they joyfully played in the wake is a memory I’ll never forget. I will definitely be back! Thanks for the great time!

Private Crab Island and Boat Tours: 4 hour, 6 hour, 8 hour trips available
Our trip to Crab Island with Shelly was perfect. So much so, that when I plan our next trip to Destin, I’ll first make sure she has availability, if she’s booked, I’ll plan it for when we can go out with her again. Thank you for such a wonderful day with my girls.
