Combine two of our most popular activities! On this cruise, we will have time to explore the waters of Pensacola Bay in search of dolphins and other wildlife and stop for snorkeling. Soaking up the sun and beachcombing the sugar-white sands of Pensacola Beach are perfect ways to relax and enjoy your vacation.

We sail in the protected waters of Santa Rosa Sound and Pensacola Bay, where conditions are quite favorable for boating. Seasickness is highly unlikely to occur while sailing, as it is generally a much smoother ride than on a powerboat. The sails stabilize the boat and keep it from rolling and pitching.

Freddy and Mike had so much applicable knowledge to share-not only of the ocean life and local area but specifically about dolphins and the history behind the gulf coast and its military forts. Freddy is very accommodating towards every single customer, whether there’s 10 or 20. We were guaranteed dolphin spotting and weren’t let down! We saw a dolphin within 30 seconds of setting off! Definitely recommend.

Freddy and Mike were great! It was a slightly overcast morning, so it ended up being a perfect temperature, with a light breeze.
The Blue Angels were back at base this week and out practicing! They made sure to head towards their maneuvers so we could have a front row seat to part of their practice!
Oh! And we saw plenty of dolphins as well.

We saw ten dolphins! Went to a preserve, heard silky jokes, danced to music, learned fun facts, laughed and snuggled on the way home. 2year old and 6 year old made it no problem. So fun. Worth every penny. Bring a tip. These people are awesome.

We enjoyed our sunset dolphin cruise. We were able to locate two different sets of dolphin and were able to see them up close. We were completely satisfied after finding the first set of five dolphins but he took us further out and found another set of five. So fun! The boat was comfortable with cushioned seats and it was completely covered. The captain was professional as was the assistant. We felt safe, comfortable and saw lots of dolphins.

We had the best time with Andrea & captain on our Dolphin Cruise. The cruise was clean, they offered us drinks & even took our families picture. They were fun & were interactive with us guests & made sure we were always in the right spot to see the dolphins responding! I 100% recommended Jolly’s sailing! You won’t be disappointed! It definitely was a highlight of our trip to Pensacola!!

Spent the afternoon cruising and snorkeling, everyone had a good time. Two were first timers on the water and on snorkel, and all enjoyed it. Paul did a great job of seeking out things to see, found a few sharks, several rays, and a couple of dolphin pods.
We've been out with Jolly Sailing a few times over the years and will definitely be back again.

We were a group of total 16 members, including kids. We booked for Dolphin and sunset cruise (~5 PM ish) We really had a great time, watching Dolphins. The Captain was funny and his assistant was very humble. They both were quite professional.
