Fabulous
Barbara_S, Nov 2023
Captain Justis was fabulous. He was very safe and responsible driving. We saw an unbelievable number of dolphins. I know he can't control sightings, but he knew where to look. The sunset was breath taking. We were freezing but enjoy the cruise so much that we didn't care. Thank you for a great time.
Great sunset sail

Fun Time with Family and Friends
Dave_P, Jun 2023
Was a great way to enjoy an evening with family and friends. We had 6 in our group so we had the boat to ourselves. Not many opportunities to see dolphins or manatees, but Capt. Justice did a great job of keeping us entertained. Very Nice Time! We would do it again!
Highly Recommend for a more personal experience
Christopher_S, Jun 2023
I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a more personal experience. Many other boats are larger and fit more people (some with standing room only) but I was looking for something a bit quieter. Captain Justice was awesome! He showed us all around, and told us stories about the Bay and its history. Captain Justice also went out of his way to find dolphins for us to see, which was not advertised but truly appreciated. We found some dolphins and it was cool. Sunset was also really great too.
Much more than beautiful sunsets
Kelly_F, May 2023
I decided to book a private sunset cruise as a surprise for my sisters 40th during her family’s visit to Tampa and am happy I did! The entire family had a blast. It was nice having the boat to ourselves with no other guests. Captain Justice rocks!!! He knows how to adjust to his audience (we had a 5 yo with us) and he kept her very engaged. We were fortunate to see manatees and dolphins in addition to a gorgeous sunset. The overall experience was simply incredible and we couldn’t have asked for a better Captain to keep us safe and entertained.

Capt Dalton is awesome. A St Pete native with the sea pulsing through his blood. Excellent driver, clean boat. Superb trip. My companion said...too much money , then he didn't want to get off the boat. We will be back soon.
