Hurricane Helene destroyed a significant part of Florida’s west coast, and hit Manatee County especially hard. Over 90% of homes on Anna Maria Island were flooded with 3 feet of water including the home of AMI Dolphin Tours’ owner.

We’re very fortunate that our boats and business were largely undamaged. We’re open for business and ready to give tours to those on the island. Keep in mind that there is currently a Manatee County restriction allowing only residents and essential workers onto the island for the next 1–3 months.

If you can’t make it onto the island, we invite you to support us by purchasing a gift card. Here’s why it matters:

• Immediate Support: Your purchase helps us cover essential costs during this time, ensuring we can serve you when it’s safe for everyone to return.
• Community Resilience: Every gift card bought is a vote of confidence in our community’s recovery. You’re not just supporting a business; you’re supporting your neighbors, friends, and local families.
• Anticipation: You’ll be set to enjoy our offerings as soon as we can accept visitors to the island. Think of it as a promise to treat yourself or a loved one to something special soon!

We appreciate your support as we rebuild our homes and livelihoods. We can’t wait to welcome visitors back soon
