Dolphin Jet Boat Tours
Our Boats
Get Closer
Eye-to-Eye with Whales
Our boats are 30 passenger jet boats, but they are unlike any jet boats you may have seen! The jet propulsion technology allows our boats to be fast and maneuverable, allowing you to get a better tour in less time. But don’t worry, the flat bottom design helps keep motion sickness at bay, with more of an up and down motion, instead of the typical side to side “seasickness” movement.
The easy maneuverability allows our captains to turn the boat so one side or the other is facing the whales, giving ample viewing room for as many people as possible. And once the boat is stopped for viewing, you are able to get up and move around, allowing you to utilize both viewing decks and every window to get a glimpse of that tail.
Hear The Whales
The Soundtrack to Your Whale Watching Adventure
Our boats are equipped with hydrophones that we lower into the water. These devices allow you to hear the whales communicate with each other. Scientists have studied these intricate songs and determined that different pods have certain dialects and complex communicative nuances to their songs. To hear these bewitching symphonies as a part of your whale watching adventure is a rare treat.

Exceptional Views
Whale- and Passenger-Friendly Boats
Our five boats seat 18, 30, or 36 people, ideal numbers for whale watching enjoyment in a group. With outside decks, you’ll have plenty of room to take pictures of our favorite mammals (including your people!). Inside the boat, you’ll find a marine head (“restroom” to landlubbers) and a 300-degree view of the water through large windows that open wide for those sunny days. All seats face forward instead of inward so that your view will be of the water and sea life instead of the other passengers. After all, you’re here to watch whales; and often, the whales themselves appear to be here to watch you, because they trust our boats.
Protecting Alaskan Wildlife
A Mutual Respect
It is important to us that we protect the whales as much as we enjoy them. That’s why we have boats that pose no threat to them. Each boat is designed with water jet drives to ensure quiet underwater operation without dangerous propellers that may frighten or harm the animals. Many outboard tour boats can scar whales and scare them off. Since the whales feel safe around our boats, you receive the benefit of being able to witness their endearing social nature up close. In fact, they may appear to be just as interested in you as you are in them. So don’t be surprised if they sing you a song and then leap out of the water to greet you!
