Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for kids on this dolphin encounter tour?

A: No specific age limit! Kids can join in on the fun, but I'd recommend it for ages 4 and up. Captain Doug is great with kids, and they'll love spotting dolphins. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need a little extra supervision.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather's not cooperating, Sarasota Fishing Tours will reach out to you to reschedule. They prioritize safety and comfort, so if it's too rough, they'll let you know. Just keep an eye on the forecast before your trip!

Q: What should we wear and bring on the boat trip?

A: Dress comfy! I'd suggest layering since it can get windy on the water. Definitely wear sunscreen and a hat. Bring your camera for those dolphin pics too! And make sure you have a light jacket just in case it gets chilly.
