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.

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.

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.

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.

I was there that day as well, when the line guy said "throw it over the fence." To be fair, the situation was that couriers could no longer drive their uninsured vehicles onto the ramp. I heard about the policy change when I arrived. They now have to hand the mailbags over the fence. It was a matter of airport security and no passengers, or their bags, were involved.

I will be moving to the new FBO on future visits when it opens as well. $50 hook up fee for contract fuel...Crazy ramp fees...High retail fuel prices. I was not happy with the way they treated another customer who wanted help with his baggage. "Throw it over the fence" was one of the line guys’ response to someone who wanted access through the gate. Refused assistance with a cart. All while I was paying for my fuel at the counter. Time to move on.

Dolphin now has a "Landing Fee" for turbine powered aircraft of $125.00 - no fee for piston aircraft. The fee is waived with a fuel purchase (50 gallons in our case.) However Jet A is expensive. $0.96 cents more than our next stop and $1.32 more than the stop after that. I'll be trying the new FBO across the field as soon as it opens...

Flew in for an overnight in a Cessna 172. No one out to show me where to park or greet me, yet I was charged their $12 fee for an overnight. I'd like a little service to accompany the price next time I visit. Clean and new FBO, but every question I asked the girl at the desk was answered with a blank stare.

Flew in 10/06/06 for a business lunch. Just so happened that V.P. Cheney was coming to town. Made it just prior to the TFR. Huge delay as a result. However, when he left and the TFR was lifted, it took over an hour to fill my little C-150. Should have only taken 5 or 6 gallons, fuel guy claims it took 13.5. Was also charged 5.29 per gallon!!! MOST EXPENSIVE FUEL I HAVE EVER PAID. Considering that everywhere else locally it is between $3.29 and $4.60! Counter help stood there watching me wait while they ate doughnuts, and other staff was very standoffish. Not a good experience. Will not be back to this FBO. Seemed like all they wanted was the "big iron", cared less about the "little guy".

Flew in 8pm, left 9am. Plane was right at the front door and topped off with fuel. I fly a small Piper and they treated me just like any big rig pilot. Lobby was large and comfortable with two weather computers readily available and clean restrooms. Fuel price was consistent with advertised rate on this web site and the comped me an overnight tie down fee. Will return to this facility.

Very nice people. Let us use the Crew car, which is always a pleasure. Big airport, enjoyable experience. Anyone who can, should park @ Dolphin.

Flew in twice on two seperate occasions at different times. I found the service on both occasions outstanding. Friendly staff and nice facilities. Treated well even a single engine aircraft. Found all the negative comments to be false

We flew in for Sun-N-Fun. We were there for a week. We made day trips, meaning we bought fuel during the week. We were told that buying fuel they would not charge us for overnight... We were surprise when we left to get $75 charge on top of our fuel bill.

Flew Mooney into SRQ 4/1/06 and stayed through 4/8. Was charged $60 ramp fee for the week, which I think is pretty reasonable for the middle of spring break with Sun 'N' Fun going on nearby as well. Very friendly staff, nice facility, 100LL price is up there with other FL west coast FBOs. Very helpful both on arrival departure. Will go to Dolphin again.

I've been to Dolphin several times in the past year in my Cessna 182. I am amazed at the great service I get even with all the jet traffic. Maybe gas is a little higher but it must take alot of overhead for the amount of service given. Thanks.

The line guys outside were really nice and helpful. Very good. The young gal at the counter was disconnected. I had to repeat the N number 3 times when I called for a pull-up Monday. She still got it wrong. When we arrived, there was another Bonanza on the ramp. Turns out, it had been at the back of a bulk hanger. She gave the ramp guys the wrong number, leading them to empty the wrong hanger in order to extract that airplane. Our plane meanwhile was outside and down the ramp easily in sight. Had she given them the right number, a lot of work could have been avoided. She did not seem to care. Otherwise, a nice place.
