I think they call it the Sea Screamer and yes you do get to see dolphins. They actually guarantee it and if you dont you get a return ride. We did it about 4 years ago and its well worth it. The boat goes out several times a day.

Here's the link to the Sea Screamer http://www.seascreamer.com/boat_rides_clearwater1.htm
We've done it a couple of times now. Try to get to the very back of the boat because that's where you get the best view of the dolphins if they play in the boats wake. We've got some wonderful pictures of just that!! Have fun[msnsmile2]

Was going to do that in August but the cancelled the trip we wanted to do so we went on Thriller http://www.thrillerboatrides.com/. This is not specifically a Dolphin spotting trip but we did stop 3 times when they were spotted, they swam in the wake of the boat. Everybody had teh opportunity to drive this converted F1 off-shore powerboat.

The Sea Screamer is excellent - we've done it several times.

Probably best to take a video camera rather than take still photos - the first time we went we had loads of snaps of the sea as every timne the dolphins jumped out of the water we weren't quick enough!

Oh - and another tip - sit at the back of the boat for the best view!

Well worth it. When we went it was very quiet and only a few of us on the boat. Watch out for the seagulls though - make sure you throw the bread a good distance.

Dolphins love speedboats and manatees hate them. Luckily mantees wont be found in the gulf area where the Screamer goes but more in the shallower back waters. Dolphins love to play around the waves of the boat and you will see just how fast they swim. It is a wonderful sight.
