HERE'S WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY!
EXCELLENT Based on 21 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor billy lVerified Great time and lots of fun Excellent experience with Florida Bowfishing Adventures. Even though we went at a less-than-optimal time for bowfishing, we were still able to shoot fish, including hardheads, mullet, rays, and gar. Also had shot opportunities at ladyfish and jacks, but couldn't make it happen. Seeing the manatees up close was an added bonus. We had to dodge weather, so didn't get to see the dolphins, but that was understandable. Justin was an excellent guide, very personable, and went out of his way to make sure we were on fish. Great trip and highly recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor Ivan OVerified Best experience ever. We just had one of the best experiences ever bowfishing with Captain Justin! Captain Justin is absolutely amazing. He was incredibly careful and patient with the kids, making sure they were safe and having fun. He worked hard the entire time to make sure we got on the fish and got lots of action. The We just had one of the best experiences ever bowfishing with Captain Justin!

Could hardly believe it was real An overall amazing experience that we will surely repeat. Highly recommend booking this charter! 🎣 An overall amazing experience that we will surely repeat. Highly recommend booking this charter! 🎣Posted on Tripadvisor Cindy BVerified The best possible dolphin experience! We recently spent a remarkable evening with Captain Justin Dymond and his dolphin friends In our travels, we’ve been lucky to have some amazing experiences involving wildlife (safaris in South Africa and Botswana, gray whales off the coast of Baja). The trip with Captain Justin is right up there with those examples. We were lucky to have perfect conditions: the water was clear and calm. We saw all sorts of fish, a loon, a redhead duck, many herons and egrets, small sharks, stingrays, sea turtles and manatees. The stars of the evening were, of course, the seven dolphins who demonstrated their grace a and fishing skills, always close to the boat. The grand finale came as we sped back toward the marina and the dolphins followed, jumping in the wake. Wow! What is most important to know is that everything we witnessed is natural behavior. Justin clearly loves and respects our environment and all its inhabitants. Take his trip with him and you will be richer for it.Posted on Tripadvisor Christine DVerified Great time !! We had an awesome time. Best experience ever. We are definitely booking with Justin again. Saw so many different fish. . He definitely knows his stuff.Posted on Tripadvisor Rachel OVerified A must do dolphin tour! A once in a lifetime experience. Justin has an extremely unique relationship with the dolphins, and is very knowledgeable. We drove 2 1/2 hours for this tour and we would do it again in a heartbeat. The dolphins were so close and we got to watch them hunt the whole night. This tour is an absolute must.Posted on Tripadvisor A JVerified SO happy I found this dolphin tour The Dolphin tour is a MUST! Did both swimming with the manatees and this dolphin trip and I'd do this one again and again. Both were great but this was outstanding. The thrill of seeing the first fin in the water, then another and another. Captain Justin is wonderful, the friendliest person I've met here by far and his pride and love for "his dolphins" just shines through. Phenomenal. So happy I booked this. Thank you Justin!!Posted on Tripadvisor Dallas AVerified Don’t pass this opportunity! It’s one for the books! I booked our trip for a surprise birthday gift for my fiancé and it was more than amazing! Our guide Justin is top notch. He made every effort to make the trip perfect. When your out in the gulf at night you have the whole ocean to yourself. Don’t short yourself in life. If your reading this then you need to book this trip. It’s one for the bucket list for sure! We will definitely be going back soon!Posted on Tripadvisor Steven LVerified So much fun, best captain around Captain Justin is the best captain in the area. I have been with a few other captains and he is by far the best. Very helpful and even willing to go above and beyond to figure out a way for my wife to bowfish since she only has 1 hand. Highly, highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.Posted on Tripadvisor Aaron PVerified Great time bow fishing I always wanted to learn to bow fish, finally got the opportunity and it was amazing. The guide was super knowledgeable. I caught 3 stingrays and a mullet. While cruising around, some dolphins swam right up to the boat. What a way to top off a great experience.Posted on Tripadvisor AnonymousNutellaVerified Definitely worth doing! Great adventure, absolute must-do, Justin is amazing. My wife, 12-year-old son, and I went on a late-night trip. Justin taught us everything we needed to know as if we’d been friends forever. He’s a guy who loves what he does and loves sharing it with people. He said we saw fewer fish than normal, but for us it was amazing. We came back with enough catches for us plus got to see all sorts of water wildlife. Trying something new is always a little scary but Justin made us feel 100% safe and made sure we had a great time.
