Overview

The Pensacola Dolphin Sightseeing Bay Cruise aboard the Frisky Mermaid lasts about one and a half to two hours. The cruise departs from Pensacola Beach and travels through the local bay waters, including areas near the Gulf Islands National Seashore, which is known for its bird populations. A USCG-licensed captain and crew provide information about dolphins and other marine and bird life while pointing out sites along the route. Passengers have opportunities to watch for dolphins and observe wildlife in the bay. The boat includes on-board restrooms. Food and drinks are available for purchase on board, but coolers and pets are not allowed. The cruise is offered in the early morning, when waters are calmer and wildlife is easier to spot, or at sunset to avoid crowds. Parking is not available at the dock but can be found at Casino Beach or across the street on the sound side. Every passenger aged one day and older must have a ticket. The tour is not recommended for travelers with mobility issues.
