Boat Tours
Boat Tours including Dolphin Tours and Sunset Cruises are sailing from the Bradenton Beach Marina on our flagship, 40 foot, 49-passenger, custom built (2017) Anna Maria Explorer!
Dolphin Tours here in the bays of Anna Maria Island and Sarasota Bay are unlike any other in the world! Why? These Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins are non-migratory. That means they stay here year round and for life! Learn more about our very special dolphins when you board our flagship boat, the Anna Maria Explorer. You will see awesome bay views of beautiful blue/green quartz waters, learn about our special island and the historic Cortez Fishing village, the unique wildlife of the area and have a great time!
Any size party from 1 to 49 is available to book a dolphin tour, so come on board and enjoy! Private Parties available!
Payment and Cancellation Policy: Our policy is to contact customers 24 hours before your reservation to confirm your excursion and to collect payment. Once payment is collected, all reservations are final. No refunds will be issued after a reservation is finalized.
