How can you do your part to help us protect the dolphins and the ecosystem?
We try to do what is best for the wild dolphins and to help preserve them and their natural environment. You can help us with this when scheduling your trip. We will run a trip with as few as 2 people, however, if 2 people want to go on Wednesday and 2 on Thursday we can decrease our impact 100% by combining those trips. With one 4 person trip instead of two 2 person trips we burn half the fossil fuel and the dolphins are impacted by one fewer boat. So when you can, we appreciate your cooperation in allowing us to combine trips. We sometimes can take this premise even further by working with our friends who are in the same business and run similar trips. For example, if I have 2 people booked and no other date to switch to that will work, and another boat has the same situation, we will take turns booking our people on the other boat.

Afternoon trips are, by far, more popular than morning trips. This could be because the nightlife in Key West is always hopping and not many people want to get up early. Plus we wind up getting quite a few folks who take a chance and wait till the very last minute to try to book a trip (horrors!). Many times this does not work for them and they lose out. But many other times we still have room available and they get to go. So far, it has never worked out for anyone calling early enough in the morning to make the morning trip on the same day unless there was already a trip started by someone else who booked that day ahead of time and there happened to be still room. Thus, unless you are booking a private charter or have at least 4 people in your party, we start booking per person trips in the afternoon first. If the afternoon trip fills up, then we will start a per person trip in the morning of that day.

I'm frequently asked, "How far in advance do I need to book?" Now where did I leave my crystal ball?!

If your schedule is very tight & you will arrive in town with very few options it's probably a good idea to book as soon as your plans are firm. If you will be here several days & there will be several times that will work with your other plans, you are fairly safe waiting until closer to the time. Keep in mind however, that we can only take 6 people per trip (12 each day) so if you are here at a busy time you could lose out by not booking in advance. Unfortunately, it's impossible for me to be any more specific than that. Also, the further in advance that you book, the more time we have to work on combining trips to lessen the impact on the beautiful wild dolphins.

You might note that in the reservations form, in addition to the date you want I ask for any alternate dates you might have. This helps combining trips but is also useful to help pick the better weather days. Let's say that you are here for a week. It would be better to schedule a day on the first part of that time window as opposed to the latter part. That way, if the weather was not very good on the first part of your vacation at least there is the possibility of putting it off to later in the week should the weather report look better for then. Obviously, you cannot do it the other way around.
