5.00Seth and Tiffany were great! Awesome experience for the cost. They gave a complimentary sunset champagne toast. Got to see lots of sea life and a beautiful sunset! Smaller intimate crowd with plenty of room on the boat to get a 360° view all the time. Would definitely go with them again.

1.00The cruise was cancelled. I was in formed that the captain cancelled the cruise because of foul weather approaching. This was a terrible experience for my family! It was a sunny warm day! I want my credit card charge refunded to my card please. We are very disappointed as a family. So upset it was canceled at the last minute.
I was disappointed that...

2.00I was disappointed that the crew was not at all focused on safety. The boat ride would have been more enjoyable for me if the upper deck had not been overcrowded with more people up there than were technically allowed per the signs prominently posted. It just felt like a free for all and I blame the crew for not managing that better.

5.00We did this evening cruise at sunset. It was a full boat. It was overbooked by a booking app but the company handled it well. The trip was nice and seeing dolphins at sunset was nice.
Enjoyable experience!

5.00The female captain and our “bartender” were great! Prior to our tour, we read that drinks were not available. However, water, soda, and select alcoholic drinks were available for purchase on the boat. They also offered a complimentary champagne at sunset. Seeing dolphins along the way was an incredible, unexpected bonus! Our captain was amazing in how she handled the unexpected fog that rolled in on our way back to the dock. The only concern we had was the small cord on the back of the boat. It was just a small cord to designate how far people could go, but there was no secure way to hold people in that area and the other people on our tour tended to congregate back there. We were certain someone would go off the back of the boat.
Fun and relaxing sunset cruise

5.00Our family spent our last evening in Clearwater with a laid back sunset cruise around the Gulf. Captain Tracy and crew were wonderful, experienced hosts and ensured everyone on board were safe and taken cared of. The boat (which doubles as a dive boat) was spacious and accommodated quite a number of people to my surprise. The cruise treated us to a beautiful golden sunset as well as a pod of dolphins in the wild. The boat can get a bit rocky so if you're sensitive to that you might want to reconsider or take motion sickness medication. Pro tip: it can get quite chilly on the boat so a wearing layers like a light jacket or a sweatshirt and long pants is highly recommended.
10/10 sunset cruise, would do it again!

5.00We had a wonderful sunset cruise on December 27; 2 grandparents, 3 Gen Xers and my Gen Z kids. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather, our excellent Captain and First Mate, and the other passengers. We had a drink/soft drink while on board, saw several pods of dolphins, and of course a stunning sunset.
