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.

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.

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!

Our trip with Bill was the absolute highlight of our trip. It exceeded all our expectations. The boat was amazing! Bill truly wanted to make the trip special for all of us and made it a point to find dolphins and wildlife to share with us. He was so kind and genuinely nice. We would do the trip again tomorrow if he had any availability. We’d highly recommend for anyone!!
