Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
4.7 stars across 24 reviews, an A on the inspection — a rare case where both halves agree. Where value for money comes up, the rating that follows averages 5.0, so it reads as a strength.
More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 20 of 24. 21 of 24 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 0 are two or lower.
The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (96/100) with 4 basic violations. That result dates from June 5, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is downward over the records we hold. Ranked against Volusia County, it is safer than 73% of the restaurants we score. What the inspector actually wrote up: food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized and single-service and single-use items.
Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

Had a lovely time celebrating a bachelorette on a boat! 🛥️ The food was absolutely delicious, a real highlight of the day. 😋 I did notice a few areas that could use some attention, however. Improving the overall cleanliness and addressing the faint smell would make a big difference. It also felt a little crowded at times, which is something to consider for future outings. Despite these minor points, the experience was memorable.

Very well organized we had a great evening!

Dinner and a Cruise one of the best part of my Daytona trip. The food is very good.
-
Such a interesting story of history. The food was amazing and the boat ride was beautiful
-
Best thing my husband did for me. So romantic and good food for your money. I loved the tour and scenery. Highly recommend to all.
-
Very well set up and the food was very good!!!
-
A great, laid back dinner and cruise on the Halifax River. The Kansas City Ribs were great. The ride was smooth, informative and entertaining. The Key Lime Pie was good, not too tart.
-
Great time.
-
It was ok, very cramped, with no space to enjoy outside. They are constantly giving orders on how to do things on the boat, I get people don’t listen, but it wasn’t the most relaxing; also having to get through crowds to get chow and line up to get drinks on a short cruise. I would pay more for a personal, more service focused, less crowded option in the future.

Very relaxing and great food.
-
Awesome food awesome time just all around must experience owners are amazing
-
Excellent place to dine with your loved ones. Where else can you have a chance to see dolphins, choose your meal out of shrimp, ham, turkey, prime rib, spaghetti and meat balls, dessert. Unlimited refills on drinks, excluding the bar. Great chance to take a photo with the Captain and photos from the observation deck. Bring your whole family, sit back and enjoy.

Great value. Dinner and a cruise on the Halifax River in Daytona. Food was very good we had turkey, ribs, shrimp scampi. Drinks are reasonable priced for beer and liquor.
-
Great cruise and decent food . Free raffles and soft drinks .
-
Loved the dinner and the cruise. Large portions and delicious food, nice variety something for everyone! Inexpensive cocktails on board with great upbeat music! Also enjoyed the free raffle prizes. All around great cruise while learning about the Daytona area. Recommend! Tickets are so affordable! Lady Dolphin ship delivered!
-
What an amazing experience! My kids absolutely loved it—getting to meet the captain was a huge highlight for them. We saw so many dolphins throughout the trip, and the weather was absolutely perfect with a great breeze while the boat was moving. Honestly, the food exceeded my expectations; everything was really good, and the dessert was delicious too. Pro tip: Definitely arrive an hour in advance to secure a good seat—the top deck is by far the best spot! Highly recommend this cruise!

I love it the history you learn and the beautiful scenery great hospitality great food love it it's my fourth time doing it and I will do it again
-
Great way to see the area from the water. We sat on the open top deck in the front which was the last section to be called for food but our dishes were still warm and delicious. My husband was able to double his shrimp scampi main course for an additional $5 and my Prime Rib was not truly a medium rare as advertised it was tender enough to be cut with the plastic knife. Beers and house wine were only $5 as well with specialty mixed drinks double that. The captain shared fun facts about the area and its racing history. The key lime was tasty while the brownie was dry. All in all a great attraction 🌟
-
Kind of expected more for what you pay.
-
My girlfriend and I loved it. I had the Prime Rib and she had the Turkey and Dressing. The meals were delicious. They had 5 raffles and soda free on the boat and in the office. All for $26 per person!
-
An amazing adventure did was good, they had raffels, gave us history of the area, just made it a fun night
-
The food was excellent
-
We went and experienced a very beautiful sunset view. The food wasn’t the best overall, coming from my personal preference but the experience of the cruise was fun!
