It's a perfect activity for families with kids who want to experience marine life without getting wet.

What is the best time for glass bottom boat rides?

The best time for glass bottom boat rides is during daylight hours when sunlight penetrates the water, providing the best visibility.

The capacity varies by boat type. Basic glass bottom boats typically accommodate 8-12 passengers. The semi-submarine can hold about 100 people, while the dolphin glass boat takes about 15-20 passengers. For private experiences, smaller groups can be accommodated.
