Could you write this in an essay and it be O.K.?

“The old man sits on the boat admiring all the creatures of the ocean: the birds, the dolphins, and the flying fish.”

Is it legit to put a colon there? I’m kinda stupid when it comes to this stuff.

I would say yah, it’s grammatically correct. The colon lets us know that what comes next is the list of what you are talking about.
