Overview
Get out on the water in search of bottlenose dolphins on this cruise from Clearwater. Aboard a double-decker catamaran, listen to your captain's commentary as he points out luxe mansions along the coast. Cruise out into the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico to see the region's dolphins and learn about their biology and behavior. Pack light, as drinks and snacks are available for purchase on board.
Highlights
- Learn about bottlenose dolphins' biology and behavior from your captain
- Dolphin sightings guaranteed on this tour
- Gain a better understanding of the Gulf Coast's ecosystem
- Gaze at luxurious mansions on the coast
- Cruise Clearwater Bay and the Gulf of Mexico on a double-decker catamaran
What to Expect
Make your way to the tour's departure point near the Clearwater Memorial Causeway, where you are welcomed aboard a modern, double-decker catamaran.
After you pull out of the marina, your captain points out the luxe mansions on the shore, some belonging to celebrities. Listen to tunes on the sound system, or visit the snack bar for a bite or a drink.
Once you get out into the Gulf of Mexico, the commentary turns to the biology and behavior of your day's quarry, bottlenose dolphins. Keep your eyes peeled for jumps and dorsal fins, and learn about their role in the Gulf Coast's ecosystem. Dolphin sightings are guaranteed on this tour.

The tour was nice. You had to make reservation. We went to the 4pm Happy Hour tour. We had the Tampa Bay City Pass. We didn't see too many Dolphins but the boat ride and scenic tour was great. The staff were all very friendly.
