Overview

Come aboard The Oasis and leave your worries on land! Bring your favorite drinks (cans only) and experience Charlotte Harbor’s most relaxing way to meet the locals—our playful bottlenose dolphins. We keep drinks ice-cold in a jumbo cooler and provide cups, plates, napkins, and a private electric-flush restroom. Lounge under the tiki roof or stretch out on plush seating while island tunes roll.

This isn’t just a boat ride—it’s a naturalist-led eco tour. Learn how dolphins hunt and raise calves as we slow for respectful viewing (sightings common, never guaranteed). Watch for seasonal manatees, ospreys, pelicans, rays, snook, and the mangrove nurseries that power this estuary.

Kids (and curious adults) love our discovery bucket—conch shells, captain’s spyglasses, fossils, and skeleton models bring the ecosystem to life. You’ll leave with new facts, great photos, and that vacation feeling.
