We had a great time on this tour. We got to see some dolphins and lots of birds. It was cool that our guides pointed out some sunken and stranded ships. We got to stop at a small island to pick up some shells. They gave us bags for the shells and offered to take family pictures with the lighthouse in the background. Grace and Tom were the ones that showed us around.

Grace and Captain Dan were amazing! We saw two sea turtles by the dock after we got done with the boat ride. Saw a pod of dolphins twice (beginning and end) and saw the shadow of manatees but they didn't come up to the surface. Got lots of shells and saw plenty of crabs when we stopped. So cool!!! Our tour guides were funny and overall fantastic! Thank you so much Grace and Dan for making our family vacation even better!!!!

Captain Lee and Miss Grace were amazing!!! This was our first charter and my 8 year old daughter and 5 year old son were well taken care of the whole trip. Grace showed them how to bait their hooks and even do some casting. Captain Lee had some great spots for catching fish and was very knowledgeable about the wildlife. We saw dolphins and amazing birds as well.

Today we went on the boat tour and it was fantastic . The staff we're friendly , very knowledgeable , and helpful . We learned about the area . Saw many bird species, and learned about Rattle Snake Island . We didn't see the dolphins, they must have been elsewhere. It's a huge ocean . Lol. But it was a great time . Thank you so much . It's a great family outing . Take care .

Praise they say is an appreciation for more. If I fail to accept you it would show how ungrateful I am. I could not be less grateful to the person God has used to bless me and my family in general. I was introduced to Mrs Olivia Carlos a few months ago, right now I know how proud I can be of my financial state. Mrs Olivia Carlos helped me to manage the small capital I invested on FOREX TRADING and I made so much profit for myself and my family. Thank you very much Mrs Olivia Carlos God bless you Ma'am, If you are still finding it difficult to trade for your self contact Mrs Olivia Carlos now and thank me later

Capt Lee and First Mate Grace were wonderful. My elderly grandmother wanted to join but ended up getting sick on the boat. Grace jumped in to help while Capt Lee got us to the Coast Guard station. They were so understanding and helpful. Once my grandmother was taken care of the cruise went on just like normal. I will gladly tell anyone that this is the boat to go on!!!

We had such a lovely family boat trip today with Captain Lee and First Mate Gina, we saw cute manatees and a family of dolphins. Tina kept us entertained with information and dry jokes 🤣 we felt really included and welcomed by this pair! They are true professionals and we would definitely return! We aren’t the type to ask for people to take photos on our behalf but Tina offered to take photos of us all together which we really appreciated 😍 Thankyou x

Did the Dolphin cruise with First Mate Gina and Capt. Tom. Had a wonderful time. Funny jokes, wildlife galore, and stopping to get seashells. Perfect way to get out out in the water! Relaxing fun cruise!

22:16 13 Aug 22

We booked a 2pm dolphin tour on 8/13/22. Our Captain was Tom & our tour guide was also a different wonderful gentleman named Tom. Both Tom’s were truly outstanding for the entire trip. I would recommend booking & doing all waivers online ahead of time to save time doing paperwork while checking in. Parking is easy & free for boat guests, it’s a close walk to the dock with clean bathrooms to use before boarding. Captain Tom manned the wheel & was super accommodating to the children on board & even offered / allowed each young child to steer the boat / watch the waterways with binoculars from the helm. Tour guide (younger / curly haired Tom) was SUPER knowledgeable about the history of the area, trends, tides & especially all the species of birds, mammals etc that we saw on our 90 minute boat tour. He also had a handful of corny / dad jokes that had everyone laughing & entertained for the entirety of the trip. The boat itself was no frills, but perfectly fine and we greatly appreciated the overhead coverage to protect us from the sun / heat. Bring food / drinks / cold water because we all know how hot it can get in FL! We saw several dolphins & many ocean loving birds on our tour. Loved that they made it a point to slow down & scoop up ocean litter with a net along our boat tour. We stopped for 10 minutes on the way back to the dock where everyone was given the option to de-board at a cute little sand barge / beach area. There Tom caught a few crabs & made it a point to share his knowledge with the guests about the species he caught. Encouraged guests to sea h for shells / sand dollars. These guys are friendly, knowledgeable & made the trip so much fun for all ages. They respect the ocean, the guests & are truly there to make sure everyone has a good, safe time. Make sure to bring some cash to tip these well deserving men for their hard work. Will definitely recommend & return in the future!! Well worth the $31/ person for the adventure.

Waiting for the tour we saw a sea turtle who was hanging out in the boat area & some pelicans.It was too bad we didn’t see anything on our tour though. We were in high tide, so I guess dolphins don’t come out to play during these times. Tried to spot manatees but no luck on those either.Stopping at the island, I was expecting a little more. We weren’t able to swim like I thought we could, just about Wade in to your shins and once you hit the drop off area, you had to stop because you weren’t allowed to go past it.It was nice of them though to let my son borrow a life jacket though from the boat. Much appreciated that.There was another passenger on the boat that found a crab on the island and showed my sons. That was cool!The first mate, Lindsey was very kind and funny. She does great at her job.

Andrea Schlatter L.

We were headed to the dock for a dolphin tour on Saturday when we were in a rear end collision. We were stopped for pedestrians and the person behind us was on their phone and smacked right into us. After realizing everyone was ok, we quickly realized we would not be making the boat. I called to let them know. Without hesitation the person on the phone (Jiffy) asked us if we would like to be rebooked or if we would like a refund. I was very surprised as most places would have said "sorry no refunds"... We made our trip today and it was so great! It was nice that the kids who had questions were acknowledged and answered and we saw a ton of wildlife. The cruise was not rushed and it was very well done. Thank you for making what was a very had experience with the accident a little better!

I went with my family last week and Lee and Gina were awesome! Gina was SO informative and we learned a lot! She was so sweet too. We saw dolphins, birds, and pelicans (one that was friends with a photographer too). I didn’t find any shells though which was a bummer but I did get to steer the boat!! Thanks again Lee and Gina, you guys are awesome!!

02:26 18 Jul 22

Our fishing trip this morning was so great! We have a son with Down Syndrome and 2 sons on the Autism Spectrum. They were wonderful with them..and our daughter. They helped all of us to bait our hooks and cast our lines. My husband actually got a chance to fish for a change...he always gets stuck non-stop helping kids at home. We were in Orlando/Kissimmee area for vacation. So glad we made the trip out to go fishing with Ponce Inlet watersports. My youngest gets motion sick and had no problems while out on the boat. (I admit I did give him zofran about 6:30 am for the drive out. And fishing went until about 1 pm.)

Justine H.

19:44 14 Jul 22

Captain Lee and Gina were great!!! Such a fun dolphin cruise! The kids enjoyed seeing all the dolphins and being able to get shells!

James Ashlyn C.

11:53 13 Jul 22

Fishing experience was so fun! Be sure to bring drinks (of choice 😉) and snacks. The boat had full shade, so we never really got hot. Everyone on board caught something and some caught lots! We did wish for a speaker so we could have music, but Captain Doc was very informative and down to earth. Great company!!

CodyCelena R.

15:46 07 Jul 22

We had a wonderful experience, they were very informative, nice and let’s not forget FUNNY!! 😉 it is definitely worth the money which was actually not a bad price at all!! We will definitely do this again but this time take the whole family!! Thank you for the great memories!

Shylyn E.

15:43 07 Jul 22

Super awesome experience! The guide and captain were both so nice and informative! We all got to see some awesome views and see some beautiful creatures! 10/10 would recommend

Hilary C.

01:52 06 Jul 22

I had never been on a fishing trip before and Doc and Lindsey made it so fun! They patiently showed me several times how to cast my line until it stuck! They even put the bait on many times. We went to a variety of places on the river to fish. They both told great stories and shared great information about the area in terms of nature and the development. Thank you both!

Daniel L.

16:03 22 Jun 22

Captain Lee and Lindsey are amazing tour guides, we got to learn so much about an area we had been to countless times. Lindsey is unbelievably intelligent about marine life and the area. Great group of folks and would highly recommend if you've got a couple hours to burn.

Michelle Petit H.

01:39 21 Jun 22

We did the eco tour with Gina & Danielle. They were great! We saw a manatee & sea turtles before we left the dock. And some birds & dolphins on the trip. So much fun!

Best Trip Out of Ponce Inlet we've ever taken for families! We ve been out on a couple other's -

What a great time. I was really impressed with the crew my granddaughter is autistic and the extra help and attention was so appreciated. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone. So friendly and knowledgeable of our beautiful Florida ecosystem. I would rate this trip at 10 stars if I could.

22:03 26 May 22

While waiting for our tour to start we got to see a pelican and turtle, both locals to the area. It was pretty awesome to see them both up close in their natural habitat and not in a zoo. Out in the water we saw one or two other pelicans but no other turtles.As far as the ride itself we got to see a couple pods of dolphins. Moms with their babies. Again super awesome that it wasn’t in a zoo.It’s wildlife so we weren’t expecting up close and personal. As close as they did come was amazing. Good enough to get some good videos. They were swimming… not like you can ask them to hold still for a picture.We got to see various birds in the mangroves including one of the tallest.We didn’t get to see any manatees. I was hoping to see them. However, I understand it’s wildlife. Nothing the tour can do about that. They take you to the areas. The wildlife is either there or not. Today was a not.The boat stopped on a sandbar for us to find shells. It was nice to get off for fifteen minutes and have a look around. Within reason, take what we wanted as souvenirs. Again you’re at the mercy of what nature gives you. This isn’t a staged boat ride.The captain and his mate were both friendly and knowledgeable about the area. There was plenty of light hearted banter and knowledge about the area to keep you engaged.Drinks were offered. All that was asked was that you pay what you could as thanks. You weren’t limited to their selection- you were able to bring your own snacks and drinks.Over all money well spent for a couple hours. When in the area I’d do it again.

Amber M.

21:50 21 May 22

We have to say this was the best trip we have taken with Ponce Inlet Watersports. I can’t wait for Gina to be a Captain because she definitely out did her brother who we had as a captain before! Thanks River women Gina for making our trip the best!

Katty M.

17:40 18 May 22

We absolutely LOVED our tour with Captain Lee and Gina! We got to see a whole pod of dolphins, Shell Island was beautiful, and Gina was absolutely amazing with my son Joseph!

She let him hang out right beside her, and seeing how much joy it brought him made it that much better for us!

The ride is 5 stars, the endless information Gina shares is 5 stars (she really knows her stuff!), and the jokes are easily 10 stars if I could give that!

It's fun, relaxing, inexpensive, and every minute is enjoyable with beautiful sights, calm water, and a friendly crew.

We will be back! First time for us, but definitely will not be the last! Thank you all for giving us a wonderful tour!

Kelley Soles C.

Wanted to let the Ponce team(specifically Jiffy) know how much we appreciated their kindness! On Monday this week my wife and I were supposed to go on the dolphin and manatee excursion however, we weren't feeling 100%. Jiffy called me 5 minutes before the tour was to begin and he was so cool enough to offer another day once we were feeling better. I was just thinking we would forfeit our trip but so happy he reached out!!! Companies don't typically do these types of things. We are excited for excursion tomorrow. Will follow up and let you know how awesome it was!!!!

20:16 07 May 22

Highly recommend! First 15 mins into the trip our 1 year old was getting a little antsy & whiny.. low and behold here came Captain Danielle to save the day! She scooped her up and took her back to drive the boat & keep her entertained. She rocked it! Skylar immediately took over & highly enjoyed the rest of the trip which overall helped us & everyone else enjoy the ride as well. Captain & first mate were both awesome, very informative & extremely pleasant! They handed over some really cool shells to Skylar & Captain Danielle even had Skylar up front waving to everyone as we were leaving the boat. What we thought was going to be a very long 90 min trip there, turned out to be an awesome experience we thoroughly enjoyed & get to smile back on. Not too mention all the cool dolphins we got to see up close. Great experience! Thank you again! 💛

Being from upstate New York I was looking forward to seeing dolphins. Tom and Lindsey did not disappoint!!! We saw lots of dolphins. Found a sand dollar making our tour unforgettable!!!! Would recommend!!!!

Anne W.

00:30 02 Apr 22

Safe, friendly and knowledgeable. You can end your search here in my opinion. Captain and Lindsay were great. Both knew where we could see birds and lots of dolphins. Unfortunately, the water temperature was still too cool for manatees. The stop at the beach was the best we found shells, sand crabs and a hermit crab. Highly recommend adding this adventure to your to your vacation.

David B.

19:11 31 Mar 22

My family and I went on the echo dolphin tour then the next morning we went on the back Waters fishing charter. Captain Doc and Gina were the best, they were outstanding. We saw a lot of dolphins and different wildlife during the dolphin tour and caught a bunch of fish during the fishing charter. I highly recommend to anyone looking into the dolphin tour or charter.Gina is amazing and so much fun.The price for both the dolphin tour and fishing charter are well worth the money.Thank you Captain Doc and Gina for an amazing time and we are definitely coming back again very soon

David B.

15:32 31 Mar 22

I would like to thank Gina and Captain Doc for an amazing 4 hour back Waters fishing trip. They were beyond amazing and so much fun.
I strongly recommend going out with these guys. we did the eco tour then the next morning did the fishing trip. both trips were amazing and well worth the money. we are planning another fishing trip in the near future.
Thanks so much Captain Doc and Gina, keep up the good work

Bob G.

Me, my wife and son did the dolphin manatee cruise. It was spectacular! It was way more than what we expected. The captain was awesome, and the guide was very knowledgeable. Way worth the money!

Kelly Q.

00:52 29 Mar 22

Rented two single kayaks. Was a self guided tour and while we were anxious to go on our own it was amazing. Staff was professional knowledgeable and fun! Did the three hour tour and could not have asked for a more perfect day. Will definitely be back for other adventures.

Elaine B.

23:54 14 Mar 22

We enjoyed the Dolphin and Manatee Cruise. Our captain and her assistant were very friendly and informative. We were excited to see dolphins. Some came close to the boat. We sat at the front of the boat and got some spray. Also, at times it was difficult to hear the captain. Perhaps a microphone would help. Over all, we would recommend this excursion.

Amanda S.

23:37 26 Feb 22

We took the dolphin & manatee tour with my sister Gina as our tour guide she’s funny and that’s the perfect job for her lol! And the super nice and funny Captain Tom! Very professional. We went to Sand Dollar Island and enjoyed their ice cream place right after. Took us through shark alley and under the drawbridge. Also the Coast Guard Station was so cool to see up close. We saw tons of dolphins it’s very neat to see them in the wild🐬 can’t wait to do some of their other tours. Highly recommend!⚓️

My husband and I booked have done two private charter boat hires with our two kids (11 and 8). We always book with Ponce Inlet Watershots as they are simply the best!! Lur first trip waa with Captain Danielle who was a fountain of knowledge. Danielle gave us loads of interesting information about the wildlife, eco system and fish. She took us to several different fishing spots and my husband caught a huge bonnet nose shark. As you can see from the photo, we are all very excited about this catch!
We then had Captain Josh for our second charter and he was equally amazing. My son loves fishing and Captain Josh took us put on the ocean where he helped him catch a huge ray! We caught loads of fish and Captain Josh was kind enough to filet several of them which we later had for dinner.
Thank you Captain Danielle and Josh for a brilliant day and thank you Ponce Inlet Watersports for always providing excellent customer service and a professional fun experience.

What an amazing experience from start to finish! Easy online reservation and accommodating service. We were running late for our reservation (there were 10 of us) and called to let them know. They said they would wait. Then as things happen on our vacations we blew a tire! We called again and they let us move our reservation to a later time. When we checked in, the service was friendly and on a 1st name basis. The 1st mate was awesome and had a lot of information to share about the local wildlife. This was the 1st Florida vacation for 3 of my grandkids. I promised my granddaughter that we would see manatee, sea turtles and dolphins. Today we marked the last 2 off our list. Thank you for the memorable day for this grandma. Myself, 3 of my kids and their significant others plus 5 grandkids all had a fabulous experience!

We had such a great time. This was the first time I've taken my family on the tour but my 3rd time. I learned something new every tour. I'll be back again for sure and I'll be telling anyone who asks that they should go too.

Went for the 90 minute Dolphin tour with Tom & Gina. Absolutely fantastic! We saw plenty of wildlife ( dolphins, pelicans, jellyfish, crabs ) but, even if we hadn’t, it would have been well worth the money!! Gina and Tom made the trip really enjoyable and informative. Anyway, stop reading this review and go book yourself on!!

Fabulous boat tour with very knowledgeable and friendly captain and crew. We saw a dolphin maternity pod before even leaving the inlet, and then, a little later on, dolphins feeding. So incredible to watch them hunt, tossing the fish in the air and playing.

Amazing boat trip today with the Ponce Inlet Watersports today!! The captain and first mate made the trip super exciting and informative although not much dolphin or manatee sitings!! Well worth the trip and reasonably priced!! Thank you!! Will continue to bring out of state guests to your services in the future!!!

Update: I forgot to mention how accommodating and attentive the whole boat staff where to my little ones who asked questions upon questions and then spoke about the new Luca movie (under the sea creatures) and with out a beat didn't ruin the imagination of a little boy but encouraged it!!

Jen S.

With our time schedule, Jiffy said he would take care of everything...AND he did !
Josh knew exactly when to help us and when to step back. His professionalism made our trip most memorable. Not only that, he's quite a character !! ...
For sure, we strongly and highly recommend this company AND Captain Josh .

Captain and first mate very friendly and educational about Dolphins and manatees. Child friendly . Allowed them to sit at steering wheel of boat . Both of my nephews got too . One was 8 the other 11 (looks older ) but the captain allowed him to do when going faster on boat . This truly meant a lot to me and I know it effected Isaac. Thank you again . The best money spent on our trip from Kentucky . First time to Daytona area for me and first time ocean experience for my nephews . Highly recommend ! Also the first mate helped me on and off boat , which I truly appreciated .

I have lived in Florida for several years and love the water. My Granddaughter came to visit and we went on the dolphin tour. It was a fantastic time!

The Captain and Mate were very knowledgeable. I would recommend this company and trip.

Nancy Bulla Burke L.

21:43 16 May 21

19:17 30 Mar 21

We were questioning if we made the right decision to take two, two and under on the boat tour!! It was worth it (with plenty of snacks). The tour guides make the experience so worth it and the stop at the end to explore was the perfect ending! Thank you 😊

Amanda D.

12:16 30 Mar 21

Had a great day! Captain Josh was super accommodating and knowledge about the area. Even though it was a chilly day we had a great time!

Brittany L.

20:23 29 Mar 21

Our experience was pretty amazing! Not everyone caught a fish but the experience made up for it! We learned that you are able to hold these type of jelly fish and we even seen dolphins while on our fishing trip. It was a little chilly and our tour guide offered his jacket to my daughter. I would highly recommend for a family outing while visiting!

Cassi L.

Jen N.

14:01 20 Mar 21

My Daughter and I took the Dolphin Manatee 90 minute boat tour and really enjoyed it! Right from the parking lot to the boat, the staff was amazing, helpful, and kind. Our boat tour started a bit late due to a large group running behind, but the crew was fantastic. The cruise itself was beautiful, on a hot sunny day, no manatees, but a handful of dolphins, birds, and jelly fish. A quick stop at a little beach was nice and the crew really cares about the environment and the animals which is really nice. Highly recommend and we will be back!

Nicole R.

00:42 18 Mar 21

Super knowledgeable and friendly staff! These guys truly care about the animals/environment! 💗

Roseddy Balaban M.

03:00 17 Mar 21

An hour and a half on the water on a beautiful Florida afternoon. Informative skipper and first mate. Sea turtles, dolphins, pelicans and the Coast Guard. What’s not to like? 🌞🐬

Jamie H.

20:50 14 Mar 21

We were in for bike week and took a 90 minute dolphin Manatee tour which we were talked into by one of the employees. I couldn’t believe the quality of the trip for the price.

We saw many dolphins in the wild and although we didn’t see any manatees, We got a very thorough education about The channels, inlets, and safety while navigating them, as well as a front row seat to the wildlife preservation efforts of the staff. It is clear that everyone on the boat had a heart toward preserving the animals. The animals seem the priority for the crew and that was very touching to see. We learned about all of the wildlife that we did spot along the shoreline. We learned about mangroves and oyster beds. (Ouch!) we had a great stop at Shell Island as well. I mean the island was just OK but my smoking friends were really happy for the break. It doesn’t hurt that an ice cream boat showed up “conveniently“ upon our arrival and one of my biker friends decided to treat the boat. If you are a smoker I highly recommend this move so that the tour keeps the stop at Shell Island. I mean there really isn’t a lot of shelling to be done there... do you know what I mean?LOL.

Captain Daniel and first mate Amber treated everybody with dignity and respect no matter how they were dressed. In fact,every staff member from the parking attendant to the trainees It was an excellent, customer-first focused individual. Terrific outing. highly recommend.

Shannon C.

22:56 13 Mar 21

Our captain and crew were great! Very informative and we had a great time. Got to see plenty of dolphins and we even stopped so they could help a sea turtle. Definitely recommend!!

Kim H.

Toni Rae J.

21:32 21 Jan 21

Terrific experience!! Captain Danielle and First Mate Ashley made the experience so fun. Saw dolphins, mom and baby along with others. Water so very clear. Loved the island stop. What made it the best was the stories and the knowledge about the wildlife and the area. You could feel their passion for the water and the area. Do it! Felt a freedom on the water.

Ashley N.

20:01 21 Jan 21

For sure recommend this company and the dolphin tour. The people who work for this business is so sweet! The two women who lead our tour for super knowledgeable and interacted a lot with us. Only thing I wish was that the stop at the island was longer. It was so beautiful!

22:05 06 Sep 20

I cannot thank Doc and Ashley enough for my first time fishing experience. Very customer oriented, taught me to bate a hook, cast and fish and I brought in four fish, a nice red, a black drum, and two jacks. Great trip, would absolutely fish with them again.
Doc knew exactly where to go to hit the fishing holes. Doc filleted all the fish for us and then we headed to “Off the Hook” up the street from the marina and they cooked all our fish for us. Delicious! Thank you again Doc and Ashley!!!

4 Hour Private Boat Tour was awesome! The whole family enjoyed the ecotour, island/sandbar hopping and tubing! Captain John is cool, informative, fun and safety minded. This is the best way to enjoy the water without bringing your own boat. Well worth it and plan to come back to fish with Capt John next time.

Our family had a spectacular experience with Captain John. He was extremely knowledgeable, very personable and was excellent with our children. He made their desires and expectations a priority and they had a blast tubing. I would strongly recommend Ponce Inlet Watersports.

Kevin Van G.

10:07 22 Jun 20

Fantastic job!
The entire crew was very well informed made it fun for all the kids aboard.

Rebecca V.

02:45 29 May 20

Today, May 28, 2020, we went on the 2 pm Eco tour. We were greeted with a warm welcome and an easy check in at the office to begin. Shortly after check in we boarded the boat with Danielle and Captain Rob. We learned so much about the history and wildlife around us, all while enjoying a nice breeze on the boat. Both informative and fun!!

A stop to a sandbar/island area to collect shells was a delight. Capt. Rob even took his flip flops off and went in knee deep water to grab a she'll my husband spotted from shore. Danielle helped identify and gather shells too. It was so nice to chat and share the excitement of our finds with them.

We will definitely be making regular trips out with them and bringing our out of town visitors too.

Thanks to the staff and crew! 👏👍🛥️🐚🐬

Joe M.

18:21 23 Mar 20

We took a private fishing trip with Capt. John and had a great time. Fishing was a little slow to start, but Capt. John kept working and put us on some fish towards the end of our trip. We had great conversation and were able to catch 6 or 7 different species of fish, and took 2 red fish, a black drum and a blue fish home. We will definitely come back if we get the chance....thank you!!

Tami Hammack H.

21:46 18 Mar 20

We’ve been fishing with Water Sports for 10 years. Every Ormond vacation we come fishing. Use to fish with Capt. John and been with Captain Doc and Kristie the past two years. Very knowledgeable, help you with everything, and get a eco trip along with the fishing. You won’t find a better place on the Atlantic. Top notch! We tell everyone!

Hailey L.

16:30 18 Mar 20

Looking for something to do during all this social distancing! Come on a boat tour in one of our wide open aired boats and explore our little town of ponce inlet!

03:40 06 Mar 20

Monica Ann C.

21:56 04 Mar 20

I highly recommend them.

Jennifer Y.

18:47 07 Nov 19

We had a wonderful Captain and first mate!! They were very attentive and knowledgeable about the area. I don't know how to fish and neither do my 8 and 7 year olds, but we all ended up catching fish and had a great time. You can't go wrong with the price either. I would highly recommend!! Thanks for a great experience and if I'm ever in the Daytona area again, I would definitely do the fishing charter everytime!

My family decided to do the dolphin and manatee eco tour. It's a 90 minute boat ride down the the intracoastal waterway. Our tour guides were fun and...

Erik T.

12:53 03 Nov 19

$25 for 90 minutes, Worth every penny.Saw 5-6 dolphins in a pod and they were playing and jumping out of the water. No manatees now that the water is...

Samantha Koluch R.

19:54 02 Nov 19

Cameron S.

17:58 26 Sep 19

Had an awesome time with family that came down to visit us from Indiana. Captain Dave, and I believe his name was Nick, and the photographer were all great! Definitely recommend checking this place out if you get the chance. I went parasailing in Key West and bought the photographers SD card with the pictures and videos and they were so terrible. The pictures and videos that Ponce Inlet Water Sports take are so crystal clear!

Leah Killian D.

14:54 20 Sep 19

Our 8 and 5 year old sons have been wanting to fish in the ocean like on the show Catching Monsters but also wanted to see wild life and find some seashells. I contacted Ponce inlet water sports and they recommended chartering a boat with Captain John. Our 4 hour fishing, dolphin and seashell finding boat ride was nothing short of fantastic. Captain John was great with our kids (and our 17 month old!!) and we all had so much fun. We caught several different type of fish and some were keepers that we took home and ate for dinner. I highly recommend them. We will be back next year!

Andy W.

01:03 12 Sep 19

Did the dolphin and manatee tour on Tuesday and went backwater fishing on Wednesday. Had a great time on both.
We found them last year during our visit and couldn’t wait to return again this year. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

Essie B.

19:51 27 Aug 19

Friendly staff .... We enjoyed the manatee/dolphins eco tour 8/26 and parasailing 8/27 . Thank you guys .

Michelle Farler E.

20:14 15 Aug 19

I highly recommend the back water fishing with captain John!!! He is an amazing guide and a genuinely nice person! We had so much fun, he told us a little about the area and got us set up quickly. We caught 8 fish in a little over an hour (4 different species) and then on our way back he stopped so we could look for shells. We then got a surprise and saw a storm rolling in. He got us back fast and safe before it started raining! We appreciate the friendliness and the professionalism of the entire crew! Thank you all so much for a great time!!

Cody W.

23:36 08 Aug 19

It was a great experience and opportunity! I was glad to be apart of it. Very thankful for the guide who put us on different species of fish

Em B.

16:38 02 Aug 19

We did my best friends bachelorette party through them. We did a 4 hr boat ride with Danielle and Captain John and had the best time! We went island hopping and they brought us anywhere we wanted to go. We even ran out of alcohol and they brought us to the local store on the water for refills of beers! Great company and a great time!

Donavon T.

02:48 01 Aug 19

Amazing dolphin tour!! Highly recommend! Manatees, dolphins, crabs and a variety of birds. Captain and first mate were awesome and knowledgeable!! Definitely take the tour.

Marcy M.

13:49 25 Jul 19

We had a great time. The staff was accommodating and friendly. The tour was different than other boat tours I have taken in the fact that they took you to a nice beach and let you get off and pick up shells and explore a little. I would definitely take this tour again.

Teresa Branch T.

02:50 25 Jul 19

Recommend this tour for kids to adults. Great ride. Great staff. Will go again when I come back. Had a blast

Anna M.

19:43 20 Jul 19

loved every minute of it! great captain and tour guide!

Went on a dolphin tour today in Virginia Beach. I was very disappointed. Wasn’t even close to the experience I had here. Wished we would’ve went back to daytona!

Tessa J. Hendrix M.

11:45 20 Jul 19

Had an amazing time on the dolphin and manatee tour. They were very knowledgeable and fun!! Definitely recommend!

Christina A.

14:24 18 Jul 19

We went on the dolphin and manatee tour. We thought we was guaranteed to see them but it turns out you are not guaranteed. We didn’t see anything other than birds. They said they didn’t see anything the tour in front of us either. Our kids was disappointed as well as the adults. We had 9 people in our group. We felt like it was a waste of money. The crew was nice.

Jeffrey T.

02:23 17 Jul 19

Captain Doc and Captain Kristy were the best. Kept all of us entertained with facts and interesting tidbits of information regarding the estuarian habitat and inhabitants in addition to some of the history of the area. Everyone caught fish and special attention was given to the kids who were having as much fun as anyone on the boat, without taking away anything from any adults on board. Would definitely recommend the trip for a fun day and fishing as well. Very educational for Arizona people... enjoyed all of it!!!

Anne LaBonte D.

17:58 06 Jul 19

went to the disappearing Island was real cool. Great instructor Brian. Made it across the waterway in 6 minutes with waves jump over my board. Brian kept us calm and chilled great times. going back soon.

Christine C.

22:11 29 Jun 19

Had the best time yesterday on our tour! Captain Rob, Daniel & Anna made us feel like family from jump. The girls warmed right up to them and were comfortable quickly so when we did come upon 3 dolphins they were able to enjoy watching the dolphins play. And also enjoyed finding their own pretty shells! 💕

Maegan H.

12:44 29 Jun 19

Nancy B.

21:00 27 Jun 19

We had such a great paddle board tour with Brian today! He is super funny and knowledgeable about the islands and their inhabitant. We will definitely do that again and again

Lisa P.

17:18 26 Jun 19

We have had the best experience with this company. This is my first time in Daytona Beach and we have spent 3 days of our week long vacation with Ponce Inlet Water Sports. Their staff is top notch which sets them above others in the area. Jiffy who works inside is not only knowledge about everything you’d possibly want to do on the water but patient and cares about your experience. He’s first class! Haley, Captain Rob and Captain John where also so knowledgeable and quite funny as we took the Dolphin & Manatee Tour. This was such a relaxing experience. These three were so funny and made our experience so much fun!

If you’re in this part of Florida, please make sure you put this on your list of “must do’s!” You won’t regret it!

Shana M.

05:17 25 Jun 19

Wow I highly recommend this Eco tour for anyone who wants to have a fun experience and the staff they are awesome at what they do and you can tell they love their job I mean what's not to love though. My family and I have never been on a boat before ever and we all enjoyed ourselves and we will be coming back next year when we come on vacation.

Amanda Davis R.

22:43 20 Jun 19

Around awesome trip. Definitely will be back next time we are on vacation!

Michele LeClair C.

00:47 05 Apr 19

I chose this activity because of all the great reviews and it surpassed my expectations. Capt. Jack and his mate/guide Kristy were amazing. We saw dolphins several times as well as other local wildlife and learned so much about the ecosystem. The guide even caught a jellyfish to bring aboard to show us and let the children hold and touch. When we stopped to look for shells at a small island Kristy was immediately available to take great pics of people with the lighthouse in the background. I highly recommend the 90 minute eco tour, it’s fun for all ages!

Katie S.

13:03 04 Apr 19

Thank you Captain John for a wonderful day of fishing. We all had a great day and loved being out on the water. Until next time!

Greatest backwater trip Ive ever had. Cpt. John was hands down the coolest captain I’ve ever met. He always made sure we were busy catching fish, laughing and enjoying our time. I 10/10 would recommend this to anyone. I can’t wait for next year!

I had an amazing trip. John is an amazing captain, he made the trip very enjoyable and laid back. He took us to a bunch of different places to get the most variety of fish. All in all this place is a 10/10!

It was an amazing experience. Great people, great fishing, and our captain was amazing. Within minutes we were talking talking him like we had known him for years. He was very helpful in every way possible. I can't wait to go back to florida just fish with them.

We had a wonderful time. First time I had seen dolphins in the wild. I got some nice shells. Glad we took the tour!
