Dolphin Sightings & Wildlife
While we cannot guarantee dolphin sightings, SHARK BOAT is specially designed to create a wake that naturally attracts dolphins. This makes encounters highly likely, and many guests see dolphins riding alongside us!
In addition to dolphins, you may also spot:
Manatees (seasonal)
Sea turtles
Ospreys, pelicans & bald eagles
Stingrays & fish beneath the surface
The tour lasts 60 minutes, taking you through the stunning Boca Ciega Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
We offer a mix of high-speed excitement and relaxing sightseeing. At times, SHARK BOAT reaches speeds that create the perfect wake for dolphins to play in!
Absolutely! SHARK BOAT is family-friendly, and kids love the shark-themed design and spotting dolphins up close!
