Q&A

Q: Is there a weight limit for the dolphin cruise? Asking for a big group of friends.

A: There isn’t a strict weight limit, but the boat can comfortably seat about 30 people. It's always good to check with Olin Marler before you go just to ensure everyone fits well. They can give you the best advice based on your group size! Also, the boat is pretty stable, so if you have friends concerned about seasickness, they usually do just fine.

Q: What’s the best time for a sunset cruise? Do you see dolphins then?

A: The sunset cruises are usually around 6 PM, depending on the time of year. It’s a beautiful experience, and yes, you can still see dolphins during that time! They tend to be more active as the sun sets, so you might be lucky enough to see them jumping out of the water. Just remember to bring a light jacket; it can get cooler on the water as the sun goes down.

Q: Can kids go on this cruise? What age is recommended?

A: Absolutely, kids can join! It’s great for all ages, and they often love seeing the dolphins. Just keep in mind that everyone needs to wear a life preserver while on the boat, which they provide. You might want to bring snacks for them too since the concessions are pretty limited. Always a good idea to check with the provider about any specific age-related rules though!

Just did the dolphin cruise in Destin and it was amazing!

I went on the sunset dolphin cruise with Olin Marler last week and wow, what a view! We saw so many dolphins playing in the water, and the sunset over the Gulf was truly breathtaking. The crew was super friendly and shared some cool facts about the dolphins. I definitely recommend bringing a light jacket for after the sun goes down. Anyone else been on this cruise? What did you think?

Thinking about gifting the dolphin cruise for my parents' anniversary!

My parents love the beach and dolphins, so the dolphin cruise in Destin seems perfect for their anniversary! I saw it’s about an hour long, and I think they’d enjoy the scenic views. I’m just wondering what the boarding process is like and if I should book ahead? Thanks for any tips!
