Gemini Galaxsea's large foredeck, especially the bow area, provides excellent photographic and video opportunities of dolphins. Anywhere from 10 to 200 or more comon dolphins often gather about Gemini Galaxsea as she slowly moves with the pod. Bottlenose dolphins in pods from 10 to 30 or more are attracted to Gemini Galaxsea as well.

Big adults, juveniles, even tiny new born babies will accompany their mothers in for a close look while the main body of the pod simply goes about whatever business it has. A typical encounter with common dolphins will last more than an hour. Bottlenose dolphins will stay with the boat for the same period of time, all the while pod members will break off their activity and come to play with passengers. Often we will have more than one pod during any day.
