About Aquatic Charters
Pensacola Beach's Premier Dolphin Cruise
Aquatic Charters is the premier tour company on Pensacola Beach. We offer dolphin cruises, Blue Angel cruises, and private party trips on Pensacola Bay and the surrounding waters. Our fleet includes two USCG inspected vessels: the original Chase-N-Fins, a 50-ft twin diesel Navy Launch boat certified for 47 passengers, and Island Queen, a 34-ft Catamaran certified for 30 passengers. Both boats provide ample open-deck space, allowing passengers to move freely for optimal views or to enjoy shaded areas.
Our experienced crew possesses extensive knowledge of dolphins, local marine life, as well as regional and historical landmarks. Observe playful dolphins in their natural habitat, and create lasting memories with your family on one of our cruises. In addition, we offer private charters for reunions, weddings, school groups, and other special events. Plan your next adventure with Aquatic Charters.
Attention: Chase-N-Fins is currently undergoing a major over-haul and refit, until further notice all trips will be run on our second vessel Island Queen.
Pensacola Beach Dolphin Video
The most common dolphins found in the waters of Pensacola, Florida, are the bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). These dolphins are well known for their playful nature and high intelligence. They inhabit coastal and inshore waters and are often seen riding the bow waves of boats, making them a favorite among locals and tourists alike.
What Our Customers Say About Us
What a great excursion! Cruising in Pensacola Bay with Captain Alex and Cody was truly a fantastic experience. Both guides were knowledgeable about aquatic life and the Blue Angels show was just "icing on the cake!"

We had a great experience today! Saw so many dolphins and also got to watch the blue angels. The guides were very kind and personable and offered us their towels and jackets when the wind blew some spray aboard as we headed south. Definitely recommend! Bonus cute stickers :)

Called last minute to see if there was room left on the 1pm tour and spoke with misty who said there was a she would be there soon. She was very professional and said we would have a great time and she and the captain did not disappoint. They delivered on the dolphins that we wanted to see and made sure we all had fun. Would definitely recommend to anyone who ask .

We booked with Chase N Fins as an experience while my sister and nieces were in town. I tend to shy away from “tourist” stuff as it’s usually overpriced and a let down. This was 100% opposite of that. We had an AMAZING time with them. The boat was clean and comfortable and you had a view from any seat.

Booked this cruise for viewing of the Blue Angels practice - it was AWESOME! Didn't see a lot of dolphin activity up close, but again, we booked for the Blues!
