3.00It was OK a little overpriced. All we did was really look at the rich houses. I was expecting more history.

5.00We have done the Shell Island tour with Island Ferry of St. Pete several times and it has always been great! This was the first time using this company for the sunset cruise and it will not disappoint. Our Captain, Troy did a great job, and we were lucky enough to have a perfect night, calm water and a beautiful sunset.
Really nice sunset cruise!

Fantastic Sunset Cruise

5.00We had a fantastic time on our sunset cruise! Our captain, Noel, was an outstanding guide- he was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and did a great job mixing in exposure to natural beauty, wildlife, and architecture along our route. The pontoon boat was very comfortable and it does have some covered areas to provide shade if members of your party would want that. I would highly recommend this experience, and again my hat off to Noel who made it that much more enjoyable!
