A perfect afternoon trip! We booked the dolphin/shrimping tour! I had two pre teen boys and my adult daughter, her husband, myself and my husband. My boys enjoyed the shrimping so much! My daughter was really wanting to see dolphins and Capt. John and Capt. Brian searched and helped locate dolphins. The boys enjoyed getting to see all the sea life pulled up and both Captains explained what type of fish were in the live well. It was my first charter and I wasn't sure what to expect, but it exceeded my expectations. The Duke is a great boat and having the cover over the boat kept the heat of the sun at bay! No sunburns! I just can't say enough about the Marina and the Captains. You have got to go do this! Thanks for the fun afternoon, answering all the boys questions and making it a memorable experience! You have to do this while in Dauphin Island!

We enjoyed our Baywatch and watched the shrimpers all through the bay catching their shrimp on their trawlers. Very peaceful and so close to the Gulf of Mexico.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Wharf. We spent quite a while shopping, eating, and relaxing here. Some of our favorites were: Shades store, the Southern Grind coffee, zip lining at Hummingbird zip lines, and eating and enjoying the beautiful dock views at Ginny Lane’s. There’s so much to see here, and if you love shopping then you definitely should check it out!
