High Jumpers lit up the skyline tonight on BOTH of our cruises!
Short‑beaked common dolphins and a pod of bottlenose dolphins — and EVERYONE wanted to be airborne. So many acrobatics out there!

The shorties were popping off like popcorn kernels on a hot pan, exploding across the horizon. The bottlenose were more mellow at first, hanging at the bow… they just needed a little space. Once we got moving, they started launching out of our wake and getting super playful.

What a night on the water.
