The company's flagship vessel, the M/V Dolphin Queen, is a flat-deck catamaran inspected annually by the United States Coast Guard and certified to accommodate up to 49 guests — a distinction the company notes makes it the only vessel in downtown St. Petersburg to hold that certification. The Dolphin Queen is available for private charters for events including office parties, weddings, birthday celebrations, holiday gatherings, and themed cruises. The vessel features shaded canopy seating, comfortable flat-deck areas, and onboard restroom facilities. Its low-speed cruising — designed to keep pace with marine life rather than race past it — has made it a recognizable presence in the bay, with the company noting that dolphins have come to recognize the boat's engine and swim alongside it. Private charter guests cruise through Tampa Bay's Coffee Pot Bayou, past Bird Island, and along a coastline lined with historic mansions and recently constructed waterfront estates. Blankets are available onboard, and the vessel operates through light-to-moderate weather conditions.
