5.00We wanted to show our out-of-town guests some of the things we love about living in St Pete - the water and our beautiful sunsets. This evening did not disappoint! Captain Joe provided a memorable, relaxing tour. In addition to the beautiful sunset, we saw a manatee, dolphins, the beautifully lit bridges, and a gorgeous full moon. I highly recommend this tour if you're looking for an intimate, friendly, relaxing tour.

Incredible Sunset and Marine Wildlife Experience

5.00This was an exceptional experience on the water at sunset. Our Captain and his First Mate were lovely and excellent hosts and historians. We were able to see dolphins and other marine wildlife. Captain Joe also provided a list of local recommendations to our party — which was incredibly helpful since this was our first time in this area. The sunset was gorgeous! He took photos for us, too! We chose this experience, while staying at the Don CeSar, and were dropped off, after the experience, near our hotel. Highly, highly recommend.

5.00Went to Tampa for a 4 day vacation and decided to end it Thursday May 29 with the evening sunset/dolphin cruise. We had a very enjoyable time on board. Along with seeing dolphins and some great scenery, Captain Joe was terrific as our tour guide. He explained in detail what we were going to see and do. Very personable and even offered to take pictures and air drop them to our phones. I would highly recommend Captsin Joe and his cruise package!
