Overview

  • Experience Pensacola Beach's most reviewed dolphin cruise aboard the 52-foot Frisky Mermaid — 3,000+ five-star reviews and a crew called the Disney of the Beach. Cruise 1.5 to 2 hours through the Santa Rosa Sound and Pensacola Bay searching for bottlenose dolphins and Gulf Coast wildlife.

    Our USCG-licensed captain and Mermaid Crew know exactly where to find them and share FINtastic facts about dolphin behaviour, local marine life, and Gulf Coast history throughout the cruise. High deck vantage points make dolphin spotting easier for everyone aboard.
    Morning departures offer calmer waters and easier spotting. Sunset departures let you watch the sky shift from blue to gold while dolphins cruise alongside the boat.

    All ages welcome — every passenger from 1 day to 100 years old requires a ticket per USCG requirements.

Activity itinerary

Depart from behind Shaggy's at 701 Pensacola Beach Blvd and cruise out through the Santa Rosa Sound and Pensacola Bay searching for Pensacola Beach's resident bottlenose dolphin pods. Your USCG-licensed captain and Mermaid Crew provide dolphin behaviour narration, Gulf Coast history, and local points of interest throughout the cruise. High deck vantage points on the 52-foot Frisky Mermaid make dolphin spotting easier for the whole group.
