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.

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.
 
From Paul Marx on 08-Aug-2008
Nice building. Open flt planning room is noisy. Abysmal "service". Dolphin acknowledged being called for top off, as I was to be flying to Va. And wanted to be well past any afternoon storms. On arrival, I was told that fuel would be a few minutes. 40 mins. Later, I ask the status. "We'll get right on it". 30 mins later, I go out to preflight no top off. I ask what happened to my fuel and got a lot of blank looks. I tell them to forget it, but a problem with the MFD on start up needed fixing so I ask again to be topped off. "They're busy,” I'm told as a Citation had just taxied in. 1/2 hour later, I'm finally fueled but they don't have the paperwork. I finally leave 1 1/2 hours later than planned just in time for the afternoon t-storms to roll in to Georgia when I get there. I end up diverting when I should have been well ahead of the weather. This was the worst service I've received. Maybe it was just my day to be invisible. Either way, if I ever return to SRQ it won't be here.

Brought my C-172 into Dolphin for one night. Staff was friendly and took me to the main terminal to pick up a rental car. Also provided a crew car for returning the rental the next day. No complaints.
 
From Don Marshall on 07-Jan-2008
Very disappointed with Dolphins new pricing. Not only is it the highest in the area for fuel but now their tie-down rates have just doubled. The new charge for my Bonanza is 24.00 a day for tie-down, double of what it was in November. I had been going to the area once a month but Jones Aviation or Venice will be my choice in the future. At those prices, you don't get a smile included either. I really don't think they want general aviation business, just the corporate jets.
 
From Jason Crandall on 05-Nov-2007
Stopped in for a few hours to grab lunch. I had no problems with this FBO except they all looked at me like I just stepped off a UFO when I walked in. I filled up with gas. Paid my bill and left. Not much interaction.
 
From Ron Jeffries on 30-Dec-2006
Landed Christmas Day for a quick fuel/weather stop. Their phone lines were down because of a prior thunderstorm. They told me that they could not process credit card until phone service was restored and would have to have a fax number to send receipt. I asked why they couldn't use cell phone and she responded that they don't reimburse us for using our cell phones. When I offered her my cell phone, she refused but mumbled that she guessed she could swipe my credit card on the old style machine. A very unpleasant stop for such expensive fuel.

Response from James Perkins, Dolphin Aviation
On Dec. 25th we did have a thunderstorm that took out the phone lines in our area. This being Christmas Day service for phone repair was a bit slower for Verizon. As everyone knows the credit card machines are used via a working registered telephone phone line. Unfortunately there is no way of hooking up a credit card processing machine through a cell phone. The CSR at the desk made an imprint of the Ron Jeffries credit card to be charged at the first available opportunity.
