From Keith Parker on 24-Nov-2011

 
  I called Dolphin two days before my arrival for a quickturn and a GPU. We called enroute to alert them to our arrival again. We arrived and everyone acted as though we showed up on their ramp unexpected. GPU was not ready, fuel truck was not standing by and only one line service guy to do the GPU and fueling of a Beechjet. About halfway through the fueling another line guy showed up, but at that point it's to late, he was already fueling the trunk. Inside there were three people hanging behind the front desk that could have been helping us out front. Felt like I was interrupting them when I gave them a card to pay for the fuel with. I tried the competition this week. All I can say is Dolphin has got to do a better job or they will be out of business.

  The people who work at Dolphin are great, however the equipment/facility is dismal. To start with, the GPU, I say GPU in the singular tense because there is only one. The one functioning GPU rarely works and it is in shoddy condition, the wires on the GPU are exposed to the elements. The line technician had to place a bucket underneath the fuel truck due to a fuel leak. He was embarrassed at the unsafe condition the truck was in. The facility could use an update, the furniture is raunchy. The flags are covered in dust, and my passengers were not pleased that I chose this FBO, particularly the one with asthma. I will be taking the CJ2 to a different FBO at SRQ.

  I emailed Dolphin twice the day prior to my arrival, inquiring about ramp fees, I received no response, which in itself should have given me a hint to their level of professionalism. Silly me, I thought I would take a chance and arrived today in a Citation Mustang, I did not need any fuel or services and was only going to be there 2 hours. I was told I had to pay a $150 ramp fee or purchase 100 Gallons of Jet A. Nothing regarding this is posted on their website. I was very disappointed, I can assure you next time I will try another FBO or Airport..

  While there was no red carpet rolled out for our RV7, after I picked a spot to tie down our plane, the people inside were friendly and serviced our needs well. $30 for a two night tiedown, which seems reasonable. Fuel is about average for the area. Nice facilities inside!
 
From Dan Bryant on 16-Jul-2010

 
  Efficient and accommodating staff both arrival and departure. Plane fueled and ready when requested. Fuel and tie down a little pricey but stored personal car without charge and saved me a lot of time and $$. Thanks, Dolphin!
 
From Wink McKinnon on 25-Mar-2009

 
  We arrived March 10th for an overnight in our Bonanza N85WM. Dolphin's very helpful and friendly staff arranged a last-minute rent-a-car as well as a hotel room at pilot rates, directions and recommendations - superb service, very pleased. Thank -you!

  First time at Dolphin after having tried Volo (Jones), and Rectrix. Nice facility, passengers liked it. Didn't quite get my fuel order right, but fixed it promptly without hassle. Busy ramp some days. Had the cheapest fuel (with AirBoss) and charged less than others for ramp space ($36/night twin turboprop, Volo wants $50, Rectrix $75, all more than I expect). All in all, fairly good experience will go there next time I am at SRQ.

  Nice FBO and competent personnel. We came in for dinner on 02/28/2009 and the facility was clean. The airplane was fueled properly, although a little over the tabs as requested. However the lineman advised me of this. It would be favorable for the linemen to be equipped with flashlights to accurately fill airplanes at night. The facility is clean and a courtesy car was readily available. We will be back here after some issues at Volo. N17386.
 
From Carlos Riquezes on 18-Feb-2009

 
  I was reading the comments in this site and I was very disappointed but I had the opportunity to use Dolphin yesterday for a day trip to Bolletieri Tennis Academy and the service was very good. The line guys were fast, and all that I asked was done in just minutes. Before I left the facility last night, my airplane was top off as a requested, and park where I told them. In general, very clean facility, very good prices, and very nice people. I will be back again.
