It was a beautiful day for a lovely sail from Treasure Island into the Gulf. The boat was spacious & comfortable. The crew was friendly, professional & able to answer all of our sailing queries. We even met another couple that we’ll see again!

We had a great time. The crew was very engaging and informative. The sailboat experience was very safe. We got quite away out into the Gulf of Mexico.

Like heaven

Teri_L, Apr 2024

Beautiful experience with a great Captain and mate. Lots of interesting sights from the water. We did a combo of motoring and sailing. Visitors often forget the importance of an experienced and knowledgeable Captain. We will be back

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you so much for joining us! We enjoy every minute we get to spend on the water exposing our Guests to the magic of sailing-Richie

It was a beautiful day for sailing! The guys were great and made the experience fantastic!! This will be a yearly happening for us. Next year the sunset sail!!

Spring winds around here are superb for sure. Thank you for making us a yearly tradition!-Richie

Pleasant and enjoyable

SANDRA_P, Mar 2024

Richie the captain was more than happy to tell us about the area and about sailing the waters of Tampa Bay. The sail was very pleasant and enjoyable!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

And there are TONS of stories I probably left out; the screaming peacocks, Gordon the Goat (that lived on a boat)... and many more! Thank you so much for coming out and spending some time on the water with us! I look forward to having you back out again soon!-Richie

Sunny calm day on the golf. Relaxing time!

Pfpiekut, Mar 2024

The wind in the bay! The crew were fun to talk with. Learned a lot about the area and Where good sailboat water and docks were.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

It was great wind in the bay!...too bad the Gulf wasn't the same (sigh). If we could only control the wind!?Thank you so much for joining us for a great day on the water!-Richie

Sleepy sailing

Nancy_S, Jan 2024

Sleepy sailing experience. Very little explanation on sights and didn’t feel much wake. There are probably better sailing cruises in Tampa Bay.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hey Nancy! Thank you for your review. All of our Captains and Crew have an infectious passion about the waters we sail and call home and we love to share that with our Guests when appropriate as to not interrupt your conversations with your party. As we explained at boarding, conditions in the Gulf of Mexico were pretty treacherous so we did stay in the much calmer waters of Boca Ciega Bay for your safety and the safety of the others aboard. Unfortunately, as I explained during your trip and over the phone, it takes about 4 hours each way to transit to Tampa Bay proper from our location in Treasure Island. My apologies for missing the mark with you and your group. We would love to have you aboard again in the future!-Richie

Sailing cruise

The crew was very informative and entertaining. Highly skilled and would recommend to anyone. Very enjoyable.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Anthony! Thank you so much for coming out. The skills of our captains and crew are second to none and we love sharing the crazy local stories that makes this area so special to us. Let's do it again real soon!--Richie

Serenity at sea

Deb_V, Dec 2023

Awesome sail! We totally enjoyed this beautiful sailboat. . We enjoyed our sail with 2 other people, who shared their Prosecco and charcuterie. The crew made us feel so welcome and shared many stories and important facts about the are area. A family of dolphins scampered around the boat several times. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone. It’s a small sailboat, seats about 20 people, which makes for a cozy atmosphere. Excellent views! Can’t wait to come back.

Sail away

Tracy_C, Sep 2023

A beautiful night to go for a sail with a great crew. Thank you Dave and Shawn. May see you again soon 😊⛵️

A Beautiful Day

Maureen_A, Jul 2023

A beautiful day on the Bay! The crew was very knowledgable and great company. It was a perfect day for saling.

Would recommend !!

PEGGY_M, May 2023

The whole experience. We were a small group and the crew were very friendly and answered most of our questions.

Great for when you have company in town who want to be on the water!

Andrea_L, May 2023

The captain and his wife are so personable. Such a good thing to do if you have friends in town who want to go on the water. It was a beautiful day and they made the experience so much fun.

Response from Host, May 2023

They ARE tons of fun and always ready to share a story or 10. Thanks so much for coming out and we would love to have you out again soon!-Richie

Great Time on the Gulf

Robin_B, May 2023

It was a great experience. I have lived in Pinellas county since 1975 and in Crystal Beach for past 25 years yet from the water got to see sights I rarely do. Love the Dolphins. Our captain and his first mate were wonderful.

Response from Host, May 2023

You had me at Crystal Beach :-) That is one of my favorite areas in all of Pinellas. Sailing is a great experience for tourists and locals alike for sure. You are just up the road so come on back down for another little escape!-Richie

Lazy spring day in FL

Susan_W, Apr 2023

Lovely afternoon...good crew! Easy to make reservations. Free and very convenient parking was a real bonus

Response from Host, Apr 2023

We absolutely love our location; smack dab in the middle of Treasure Island yet just away from the hustle and bustle of John's Pass. Come on back out some time soon!-Richie

Perfect trip!

Rosemary_A, Mar 2023

Exactly what we wanted. Relaxing day on the sailboat and beautiful waters. Informative, friendly, & accommodating crew! Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for spending an afternoon with us! There is no better way to "reset" than to slip away on a sailboat for a bit. We look forward to having you out again soon!-Richie

Grateful Sailing

Susan_P, Mar 2023

Venturing out into the Gulf and going under the bridge. Great and interesting conversation with Captain David and delightful wife (and First Mate), Wendy. Very grateful!

Perfect for R&R on the sea.

Marcus_C, Aug 2022

Long time boater first sailing trip ever. The Captain and crew were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The experience was better than expected by providing much needed sense of peace out on the sea. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

There is nothing quite like leaving the worries of land life behind at least for a little bit. Thank you so much for joining us and we look forward to having you out again in the future! - Richie

Fantastic trip

Jenny_H, Jun 2022
