Today was Wesley’s last tour & . Purchasing this business 4 years ago has just proven the impact & legacy it provided. I give thanks to family, patrons, friends involved, musicians and fans, our state of Florida being open for business in 2020, the successes, and challenges all leading up to this moment. It makes it all worth it. Very proud of his decision to serve our great U.S.A in the Coast Guard. He ships off in 15 days. This will be a big adjustment for us, however, I am excited for him to begin his life’s journey. Love you buddy! ._.o

I spy a Dolphin Queen with my brown eye! The vessel, which came to The Pier in 2002 is still running dolphin and sightseeing tours 7 days a week. Since 1992 Pier Dolphin Cruises has been the main staple and longest tenured tour boat company. Check us out the next time you are in town. If you are a local, come aboard, relax, and enjoy your city.

July 6th, many moons ago, Capt Christian was blessed with surviving a collision at 40(ish) miles an hour with a piling on a hydro slide in Coffee Pot Harbor. Shattering his femur and requiring major surgery and years of physical therapy to regain normalcy. Ironically, who is in the picture on the dock, and was in the boat pulling Capt Christian that fateful day, showed up today for a dolphin tour. ‘I go by that dock every day now and it’s a deep reminder how important family, close friends, and humility are to life. As well as a good joke.’ Many blessing to all.
