Guy Levian, manager of the central area in the marine unit at the Nature and Parks Authority, explained: "We were surprised to see dolphins jumping at the bow in the middle of the sailing without a single boat in sight. There was also one cub who kept his distance and some of them came to the boat and played at the bow."

The Nature and Parks Authority says that the common bottlenose dolphin is the most common marine mammal in Israel. Its body structure is full and bulky and its color is gray to brown, with a light belly. Its snout is short and thick, and it is separated by a prominent fold from the front of the vertex. Its length is 2.5-3.5 meters. An average herd has five-six individuals and consists of females and cubs and young males.
