- Navigate2120700 contributionsWonderfulIncredible, we saw so many lovely creatures. The captain was very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely take a ride on this boatWritten October 2, 2024
- 434ruthannp0 contributionsNice relaxing eveningA nice 3 hr cruise. Good snacks and the beer , wine and soda flowed throughout the journey. The only thing I would have liked better was a little more sailing and less cruising. Beautiful boat and the scenery was great. You might consider taking a little bug repellant. The no seeums we’re bad at one point but not usually a problem.Written October 15, 2021

Was the most fun thing we did while in Daytona Beach Shores! Captain Randy and his First Mate were awesome.
I was very impressed and appreciated the safety precautions (due to Covid) as they only allowed 6 people on our sailing tour (there were 3 of us and another family with 3).
When the tour was over, we simply walked up the dock into the outdoor seating area of the restaurant and had a drink to wrap up our fun afternoon.
It was a beautiful, enjoyable time for us, and we felt the cost was very reasonable.
A must-do activity if you enjoy being on the water!

Capt. Randy sent us a text with a photo of where to meet on the day of our trip…it made things so easy. He was friendly and full of interesting information about the area. This was a nice, relaxing trip around the harbor. The boat was clean and well maintained. We saw a few dolphins, pelicans, and many friendly boaters. If you’re planning a trip to Daytona Beach I would highly recommend this trip. When you get off the boat, there is a fun restaurant, Caribbean Jack’s, that serves American cuisine. If you sit outside they have rocking tables. Note: There are restrooms at the dock and there is a restroom on the boat.

Capt Randy was very communicative and prompt. Kids were excited and had a great time. An hour and half is enough time to enjoy yourself especially with kiddos who bore easily. They provide life jackets and nonalcoholic drinks! No dolphins were out but no worries. I recommend also for some couple time also-take some bubbly. Went back to eat at carribean jacks. Great food. Also would recommend stopping at Rosies Italian bakery/grill prior to your boating excursion if it’s open. Yum!!

This is billed as a "Sailing" adventure, when, in fact, it is a boat ride, albeit a pleasant one. The jib was raised but the whole ride was under motor power. The direction was north when the more interesting part of the river is south. We had to ask for the overly loud country music blaring from the radio to be changed and volume lowered so conversation could be heard. We were varied family members, varied ages. For a similar price, I would recommend doing the Fun Cat Sailing in Ponce Inlet, where you get 3 hours and see the best of the Halifax river as well as actually sail in the open ocean.

I guess if you just have a lot of money to burn and just want to ride up the river One Direction and then turn around and come back and maybe if you’re lucky see a dolphin for a couple of seconds this boat tour is for you. Don’t get me wrong the people were extremely polite and the music was good. However I noticed that he got us back to the dock a good 15 minutes early which if you divide that by how much we paid for the trip he should’ve reimbursed us $50. Now my daughter thought she heard him say something about the weather but he never once mentioned that to us being a reason for turning around or offered a discount for the trip being shorter. It was kind of boring. I enjoyed sitting on the beach and saw a dolphin at North shore park in Ormond Beach and I did on this boat tour. Again if you got the money to blow that’s one thing but $300 for an hour and 15 minutes to just ride up the river and back is pricey.

The tour guides were great and the trip was very relaxing. We ran into scattered rain throughout the trip and the crew reacted so fast to accommodate us from not getting soaking wet. Highly recommend as a quick getaway or an alternative to the beach.

We booked for a more personalised experience, and we were not disappointed, the boat, Howling Owl, was a beautiful catermrang, only ourselves and one other guest, weather perfect, not enough wind to have all the sails up, but still a totally relaxing trip. Our hosts were realy nice. Would recommend this trip to anyone in Daytona whether as a couple like us or singles or group all are catered for.

We had a great time. Very intimate and peaceful. They had non alcoholic beverages, the ability to bring your own beverages and cups. Very nice hosts along with a great ride on the water. Highly reccomended. Host mentioned it is the slow season, so it was only me and the spouse. He has Bluetooth to hook up too on the boat and the vibe was chill. Again, highly reccomended for a chill ride on the water. 😎

Had a great time on the Halifax! I brought a friend for Wisconsin for a relaxing sail and we enjoyed our time - the boat is clean and beautiful, the skipper/owner was friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the weather was such that the sail had to be supplemented by motor. Otherwise, it was wonderful.

First time sailing and we had a great time. It was just our family of 4 (boat carries 6 passengers) so it was private and relaxing. Saw dolphins and they really were able to get us up close to them. We know not every time you see them but even if we didn't we enjoyed the trip. Loved being able to lay out on the front nets. There was not a lot of wind so they did have to use the engines but still was a great time.

Greetings
We are six adults and a 6 year old. Can you accommodate us on 8/19
Written July 13, 2021
Hello thanks for the question but the tour dose not belong to me, we did the tour my husband and I, and we loved it. The day was a bit cloudy but we still had a wonderful time. And I am pretty sure they will be more then happy to accommodate you and your family. Hope this helps!!!! enjoy

In May we are taking our first vacation since COVID hit and will have our entire family together (5 adults and 2 kids, ages 5 and 3). Is it possible to do a cruise with all of us together? We’d like to do a 2 hour dolphin or sunset cruise.

Is there any way to rent this for longer than an hour and a half ? Also, does this boat go out in the ocean ?
Written September 19, 2020
You can contact the owner about a longer rental. He does private parties. The regular trip does not go into the Atlantic. It stays in the inter coastal river.
