Rocket Launch Tour

Rocket launches do not always take place during our regular daytime tour hours. Some are scheduled very early in the morning or late in the evening, and launch times can change with little notice. That is why you may not always see a launch tour in our calendar – we add one only when the timing is confirmed and works with our schedule.

Our regular Dolphin & Manatee Wildlife Tours explore the same waterways throughout the day. If a daytime launch overlaps with your tour, the captain will always head toward the best available viewing position.

Please book your tour in advance through this website. Any questions? Call us at (321)978-5479

Please note: a launch appearing on the general schedule does not automatically mean a boat tour is available. Our launch tours appear in the booking calendar only when the confirmed timing works with our operating schedule.

• One of the Closest Public Launch Views – Viewing from the Banana River brings guests about as close to the launch area as the public can legally get.
• Open-Water Perspective – Enjoy a wide, unobstructed view without buildings or crowded waterfront parks in front of you.
• Stories That Bring the Space Coast to Life – Along the way, our captains share engaging stories about the region’s history, lagoon wildlife, and the growth of America’s space industry. This thoughtfully researched commentary is one of the parts of the experience our guests value most.
• Small Group of Up to Six Guests – Our flexible small boats create a more personal experience, with plenty of opportunities to talk with the captain, ask questions and see more wildlife.
• Space Coast Wildlife Along the Way – Look for wild dolphins, manatees, coastal birds, and other lagoon wildlife during your two-hour trip.
• Selected Confirmed Launch Dates – Tours are added to the calendar when launch timing is confirmed and works with our operating schedule.

We completely understand that launch schedules can feel uncertain. If seeing one specific launch is your main priority and you would rather not book a tour around a schedule that may change, you may prefer to watch independently from land.

Because we run small boats and reserve your time specifically for your group, tickets are non-refundable.

You may reschedule up to 24 hours before your tour at no additional charge, subject to availability.

If something truly unexpected happens, please reach out. We’ll always do our best to help.

Rocket launch dates and times are controlled by the launch providers and may change at any time because of weather, technical issues, or mission requirements.

Your booking reserves a two-hour boat tour at the scheduled departure time. If the launch is delayed, rescheduled, or scrubbed, the tour will continue as a regular Dolphin & Manatee Wildlife Tour, and we will refund the difference between the launch-tour price and our regular tour price.

A change to the rocket launch schedule does not qualify for an additional refund, credit, or rescheduling. Our standard cancellation policy still applies.

If we cancel the boat tour because of unsafe boating conditions, mechanical issues, or captain availability, you may choose a full refund or a rescheduled date.

Please note that conditions may be safe for boating even when a rocket launch is postponed or canceled. In that situation, the boat tour will still operate as scheduled.
