My husband and I had a great time on the Sunset Cruise with Captain Andrew and Diane. We learned about the area and wildlife in the area and took some beautiful photos. I would definitely recommend it. Diane and Andrew were lots of fun. If we are ever back in Cocoa Beach, we will be booking another trip.

Unfortunately our excursion was delayed for 30 minutes due to a couple of visible storms coming from the west. I would have preferred that the trip be canceled but it wasn’t and for much of the trip it rained on us, and of course the sunset was not visible. The crew provided some ponchos which helped, but it didn’t appear that there were enough for everyone and my husband and I had to share one. That said, the captain and guide were knowledgeable about the area and they did bring us home safely. I certainly understand that the crew could not be blamed for the weather, but it did seem like they were just trying to avoid a full cancelation. My main complaint about the excursion was the inclusion of music played through the speakers. I was expecting a quiet peaceful excursion through the mangroves with a nice sunset and the potential to see some wildlife. I felt that the music distracted from the peacefulness, and in fact encouraged some of the guests to behave as if they were at a party or in a club. I know they were just having a good time, but this was not advertised as a “party cruise” and if I had been I would not have chosen it. Again, the crew and captain were polite and knowledgable, but the “vibe” of the excursion was not what I expected. If you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful sunset/nature excursion - this one is not for you.

My wife and I had a wonderful time on the sunset tour—it was truly a delightful experience from start to finish. The length of the tour felt just right, giving us plenty of time to relax and take in the beautiful views without feeling rushed. The highlight of the experience was definitely Pat and Steve. They worked seamlessly as a team and made the tour both enjoyable and engaging. Their professionalism and friendly personalities really stood out and added to the overall experience. If I had one small critique, it would be the seating, which wasn’t the most comfortable for the duration of the tour. However, it didn’t take away too much from what was otherwise a fantastic outing. Overall, we would absolutely recommend this sunset tour to others looking for a memorable and enjoyable experience.

We wanted a casual family sunset cruise with dolphin sitings and we weren’t disappointed! Loved it!

Karen was very informative and fun as well as our captain - with his dad jokes! We went on the sunset cruise. Unfortunately we did not see dolphins, but did see manatees! Learned a lot about the land.
