Dolphin Watching Cruise Atlantic City: Guaranteed Sightings

Children 4 and under cruise free, and the boat is wheelchair accessible.
The experience
Cruisn 1 departs daily from Atlantic City and heads into open ocean where you watch for dolphins with a marine naturalist onboard providing live commentary. The boat has been featured in The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Atlantic City Press for its track record with marine sightings. You'll never know exactly how many dolphins you'll see (that unpredictability is part of what makes the trip an adventure), but the operator guarantees sightings or gives you a free return ticket if none appear.
The cruise lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours, long enough to reach productive waters without eating up your whole day. Bring a camera to capture the leaping and frolicking you might see. The boat has a full cash bar with frozen drinks, specialty cocktails, beer, wine, seltzers, champagne and snacks, though you'll need to bring cash. There's no ATM or card reader onboard. Infants ride free and sit on an adult's lap. Children 4 and under don't pay. The boat accommodates wheelchairs and strollers, and service animals are welcome.
