Dolphins are numerous in our area and are one of the friendliest mammals of the sea. They are familiar with our boat and frequently ride in the Double Sunshine’s wake, much to our travelers delight!  Most recently, we’ve been fortunate to spot three baby dolphin, or calf, and their mothers in Naples Bay. The calves stays close to their mother but is known for their playful personality and is seen quite frequently.

Peak calving times for dolphins occur between April and August. Female dolphins usually give birth every 3 years so this is a sight you don’t want to miss!
