DOLPHIN TOURS
Experience the chance to see the local dolphins on a private or public tour!
Anna Maria Island Dolphin Tours
Depart from Waterline Marina in Holmes Beach for a 2-hour cruise around Anna Maria Island, with options for both private family charters and public group tours. Glide through the calm back bay and out toward the Gulf Coast, where pods of bottlenose dolphins regularly surface alongside the boat.
Watch for grazing manatees on the shallow grass flats during the warmer months, plus sea turtles, eagles, and osprey along the way. Your captain knows where the wildlife gathers, so every cruise ends with the kind of close encounters and photos that keep guests coming back year after year.

What to bring
- Bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses — you’ll be on the water in open sun for the full 2 hours. Apply before boarding.
- A light layer or windbreaker is recommended — even on warm days the breeze on the water can be cooler than expected.
- Bring a camera or make sure your phone is charged — dolphin sightings, seasonal manatees, sea turtles, eagles, and osprey are all possible and you’ll want to be ready.
- We will pre-assign your party to the correct vessel. If you plan to add more people to your party we need a 48-hour notice. Failure to request to add additional people may result in a trip cancellation or a re-booking. Please do not assume you can add as many people as you’d like without speaking to an associate. Thank you 🙂
