We did the 4:30 cruise. So much fun and informative about the history and the area. We saw many dolphins and had some very good adult beverages. Definitely recommend!

I just dawned on me that we’ve taken the sunset cruise several times, and I have yet to write a Google Map review, so here goes. Yes, summer’s are hot on the Texas Coast. Yes, there’s a chance it may rain anytime. Yes, the prices have increased slightly over the years. Yes, the dolphins are wild and swim when and where they want to, but the captain does his very best to sail where they normally have dolphin activity. There is a very good chance you will see some dolphins. The operation is very punctual and usually sails and returns within two to three minutes of the scheduled time. Check the forecast when you book your cruise because you cannot cancel inside of 48 hours, and canceling before that incurs a hefty fee. If an illness or something up pops up, they may offer you a gift certificate to use later, good for one year. You cannot take outside food and drink on board, but the company will gladly sell you some. Alcoholic drinks are also available for purchase. I’d like to think they would at least allow passengers to take a water bottle on board. Even when I purchased the bottle of water in their store ($1.50) I couldn’t take it onboard but they’d sell me a bottle ($2.00) once onboard. In addition to dolphin spotting, the first mate provides educational information about the dolphins and historical information about the surrounding area. They added a new fun twist to the cruise recently. You just may have to defend the Scarlet Lady, her crew, and passengers from the evil pirates aboard any passing pirate ships. Stay alert. Obviously we enjoy this activity or we wouldn’t have gone so many times. I give them 4 stars for a relaxing and enjoyable boat ride. If it’s hot, at least you’ll still feel the breeze when underway. For those who carry, be forewarned they are posted signs on the dock right before you board.

Booked the cruise while on vacation. Parked in the wrong parking lot due to bad directions from the wife and was met with plenty of attitude from the front desk clerk (In her defense, im sure if happens alot). Spoke to the owners of the parking lot and advised no issues would arrise. Tour went amazingly well, ice cold alcoholic beverages were provided on the boat. Saw a decent amount of dolphins and great scenery on the trip.

Scarlet Lady was excellent. I got the perfect dolphin shot as it was jumping out of the water. We saw plenty of dolphins, and the sunset was gorgeous. Definitely recommend doing this if you're out in Port A.

We went on the Scarlet lady Dolphin cruise yesterday and it was absolutely the best. The boat ride was awesome and I Iove boat rides so watching the dolphins was like a cherry on top. We got to watch so many dolphins yesterday even a mom and her calf. Some were as big as 5 in a group. I have tried my best to take videos of them but they are quick man. I really wanted to swim with them and play with them 🤪. We also saw the Lydia Ann Lighthouse and SanJose Island and learned a lot about it in this ride. The captain of our boat was Austin and he was so patient with my husbands questions. Chelsea was behind the bar and she was so kind and patient with everyone’s orders. I forgot the narrators name but I do remember that it was her first ride and for that she did an extremely amazing job.

Amazing experience! Captain Dan will make sure no one gets motion sickness and will also make sure you see dolphins. The guide and the bartender provide top notch customer service! They have a good variety of kid and adult drinks! The music Playlist was awesome!

What a fun experience! Would recommend if you’re wanting to see dolphins in their natural habitat. Our guide & captain we’re very knowledgeable and made the trip very enjoyable.

It was a rainy day but we still got to see lots of dolphins! I wish we could have seen the sunset but it was still a great experience. We brought our three daughters and they all loved it too, especially our five year old! A dolphin even came right up against our boat where we were sitting! Austin and Maddie were great. The ride was smooth and very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend, even on a rainy day!
