The crew of the Hannah Marie was very friendly. The captain of this boat was determined that everyone on the boat got to see a dolphin before the trip was over. While there were several boats out on a dolphin cruise at the same time as us, our captain was the only one that really pursued the dolphins (after they... More

We made a reservation for a dolphin cruise about a week in advance. We had 6 extremely excited children who had been looking forward to seeing dolphins for months. We live 50 minutes from Olin Marler, so we had to get an early start as our cruise was scheduled for 9 am. We were told to arrive at 8:30. At... More

I bought tickets for the Olin Marler dolphin cruise on Groupon and then planned a trip to Ft. Walton Beach around it. My family (mom, dad, son-14,daughter-4) all enjoyed this cruise. The staff/crew is very friendly and genuinely seem to both love their jobs and want you to have a wonderful experience. We had a lot of fun feeding the... More

This was our first dolphin cruise and we absolutely loved it. The dolphins swam right next to the boat many times during the cruise. The crew were so genuinely nice and enthusiastic. I will definitely take another tour with Olin Marler in the future.

My wife really wanted to try a fishing boat trip...I was pleasantly impressed. The crew was so helpful. Left at 6:30am for a 8 hr trip, which turned out to be 9 hrs. There were 22 people on the boat, several repeaters and several first timers like ourselves. Fished 5 different locations about 2 hrs off shore. Each location people... More

We went on a dolphin tour in early May. Despite the fact that it was a little chilly and windy, we very much enjoyed our tour. The crew worked hard to keep everyone safe, entertained, and satisfied. Though the dolphin were not plentiful, the crew kept a watchful eye until they were successful in locating some. The captain circled the... More

This was a first for all of us! The weather was nice. We saw plenty of dolphins and my daughter loved it! We did go to the bottom of the boat to look at the glass bottom and that was neat too however, I did get a little sea sick from being down there and immediately had to go back... More

They clean fish, take them off of line, you bait your hook, but bait is provided. Things to remember: bring cash to tip boatmen, a towel to clean hands and a cooler with snacks and drinks.

My husband & I went on the dolphin cruise and thoroughly enjoyed it. The weather was extremely cold and rainy so our tour was delayed but it all worked out for the best. We were able to see the dolphins off the boat but due to the stormy weather, the sea bottom was murky so the glass bottom part of... More
