    Two-hour cruise aboard a 52-foot catamaran — sail the Intracoastal Waterway while watching for dolphins and coastal wildlife at sunset.

    Overall a positive experience. We saw a lot of dolphins, to the point where some passengers seemed to lose interest. The staff was attentive, and the drinks were quite affordable. However, the music could have been turned down a notch as it became quite bothersome towards the end of the tour.Lomunchi
