This experience was... - This experience was mesmerizing for me, coming from Navajo Nation/New Mexico. Was a bit tricky locating the area when there was a fishing tournament happening. Other than that, great atmosphere and great vibes. Capitan was not only entertaining but generous to not only capture the greatest photo of my coworker and I, but he let me charge my phone. Gave out fun facts about dolphins, and we actually saw two dolphins, so it definitely did not disappoint. Two thumbs up to the crew. Ahéhee/Thank you for this amazing experience.

Dolphins and a sunset! - Captain Morgan (yes, really) and crew were fantastic from start to finish. Safety first was much appreciated. Great playlist. He pointed out where the dolphins often are and within 10 minutes we were spotting dolphins! The sunset was beautiful, the bay was calm, and the entire tour was terrific. On the way back in we were able to watch a storm far off over the gulf with a great lightning show. Would highly recommend.

Not crowded and peaceful - The trip was relaxing and enjoyable. We only saw a couple of dolphins but the music and staff were excellent. Considering the price and the fact that you can bring your own drinks, I would definitely come back. Nice sunset.

No sunset… no dolphins… no problem! - No sunset (too many clouds!). No dolphins (just couldn’t find them). However, this was the most fun we had our entire vacation! Hubby and I were traveling with four girls aged 15 down to 6! The three-member crew of the Sol y Luna were just great! They were fun, laid-back, and so personable! Our dashed hopes of dolphin sitings quickly morphed into a full-on deck dance party! Even our grumpy, hard-to-please teens jumped in to show off tik-tok skills! The girls had so much fun! Although the deck hands of this ship maintained all safety and professionalism necessary, they also joined in learning dances from our girls and showing off some mad skills on the “dance” floor! We highly recommend this ship and this crew! This 90 minute cruise was the highlight of our entire vacation!

Big boat, courteous crew, vibrant views make a memorable sunset, the sun ventures excursion - My wife and I decided to take this sunset cruise for a nice wind down to her birthday. When we arrived to the marina, the resort staff directed us exactly where to go, we were then greeted by the Sun ☀️ venture Cruz‘s staff, which were Captain Morgan, Deck hand/future, Capt. Khris and the talented Mr. Andy, who is also the secondary deck hand, not in any way meaning that he was less than the other, but in fact just as amazing. Captain Morgan and his crew insured that everyone including myself a blind person as well as two elderly individuals that had limited mobility were able to board the vessel safely, experience everything as though I could see and insured that everything that they could possibly do to help make it a memorable experience for everyone aboard was done. Positioning the boat for perfect pictures, taking the time upon arrival to the dock to allow us a waterfront view to the fireworks display, and absolutely wonderful experience with a wonderful crew that have a beautiful new boat that is just set up for anyone with small party or large party to enjoy. Definitely will do again next time I’m in the area.

Great Cruise! - Captain Morgan & crew were great! The boat was nice & clean, and the trip was very kid friendly - we had our 2.5 & 4 year old on board & they loved it too. We saw plenty of dolphins and the playlist was great :)

Never got to ride the Sol y Luna! Book at your own risk!! - Wasn't happy when SunVentures switched us from the Sandestin location to Destin due to low attendance. The whole point of booking was because it was closer to us in Miramar or else I would have done the Tiki or the Pirate Cruise. They offered a refund but only after I had to purchase parking for the Destin location. The boat was nothing fancy, hardly saw any dolphins, or sunset since it was heavily cloudy. The captain & his assistant were great & tried their best to locate dolphins, but had to stay within the bay due to choppy waters. It was OK for a cruise but that was about it. Next time we'll do a more fun cruise like the Tiki, Pirate or a fireworks cruise. Your guaranteed fireworks as oppose to dolphins.
