Is there a cover on the boat?

Are strollers allowed?
Strollers are not allowed to be open on the boat. We will ask you to fold the stroller down before you board and we can store it on the boat for you.
Where is the best place to sit?
Captain Larry will tell you that every seat is a window seat! Once the boat leaves the dock, you can stand up and walk around. The captain will do their best to be sure both sides of the boat are able to get a good look at the dolphins.
Seating on the boat is first come first serve!! If there is a specific place you’d like to sit, please be sure to check in and get in line to board EARLY!
Can I smoke on the boat?
Smoking is allowed on the back of the boat while it is motion. This means while the boat is sitting idle looking at dolphins, you are not allowed to smoke.
Marijuana is not allowed on the Sea Blaster.
Will I get seasick?
It is very rare that guests get seasick because of the size of the boat. We do our best to keep you in the calmest water possible. If it is too rough in the Gulf, the captain will take you to the Choctawhatchee Bay where it is calmer. If you are prone to sea sickness, we recommend taking something like Dramamine in advance! Better safe than sorry!
