Three-generation dolphin family now in Islamorada; new Dolphin World feature highlights their journey, safe transport, and how visitors can meet them.
Swim with Dolphins Florida Keys is more meaningful when you know their story. Sandy, Capri & Soleil are a three-generation family starting fresh in Islamorada.”
ISLAMORADA, FL, UNITED STATES, December 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Dolphin World today announced the release of a new YouTube video and companion blog post from John “The Dolphin Expert” spotlighting the arrival of three Atlantic bottlenose dolphins—Sandy, Capri, and Soleil—now living at Theater of the Sea in Islamorada in the Florida Keys.— John “The Dolphin Expert” McNamara, Founder of Dolphin World
The feature focuses on a rare and heartwarming detail: Sandy, Capri, and Soleil are a three-generation dolphin family—grandmother, daughter, and granddaughter—now settling into their new home together in the Keys.
“This is the kind of dolphin story people love to hear,” said John “The Dolphin Expert.” “Sandy, Capri, and Soleil are family, and keeping them together matters. Theater of the Sea is a place with deep experience, a calmer Keys atmosphere, and a lagoon setting that’s ideal for dolphins—especially an older matriarch like Sandy.”
A highlight of the YouTube video is John’s on-camera interview with dolphin trainer Olivia, who has a unique connection to this dolphin family. Olivia previously worked with Sandy, Capri, and Soleil in Panama City Beach, later relocated to St. Augustine, and has now made the move to the Florida Keys—following the dolphins’ journey and continuing her work with them at Theater of the Sea. In the interview, Olivia shares why these dolphins are so special to her, what it means to see all three generations together, and her excitement about helping them settle into their new home in Islamorada. Olivia and the three dolphins are now making the Florida Keys their home together.
According to court-related reporting tied to The Dolphin Company bankruptcy proceedings, the dolphins were transferred to Theater of the Sea after being temporarily housed at Marineland in St. Augustine, allowing the trio to remain together as they transitioned to their new home in Islamorada.
In the new video and blog post, John breaks down the story in an easy-to-follow way for families planning a Florida Keys vacation and searching for “Swim with Dolphins Florida Keys” experiences in Islamorada, including:
• Who Sandy, Capri, and Soleil are—and why their three-generation bond is so unique
