It was such a memorable sunset cruise . Captain Chris was great, music on point, gorgeous sunset! Dolphins were out in groups too.

Beautiful sunset & views of dolphins

Kristy_P, Apr 2024

We had a great time experiencing not only a beautiful sunset over the gulf but dolphins jumping behind the boat. Hands down the best experience we had on our trip! Brian, our captain, was top notch! Highly recommend!

Captain T was fantastic! Very knowledgeable of the area. Located some dolphins and they followed along behind us playing in the wake! So cool to see! He also took us to a perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful sunset and took great family photos for us. Perfect evening!

Wasn’t able to fit my family of 7, we didn’t go on the trip.. expecting full refund

Erick_J, Jan 2024

Operator came with wrong size boat; wasn’t able to fit my family if 7… we didn’t go on the trip and are expecting a full refund.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Erick Jeanty. How dare you leave a one-star review because you obviously cannot read a description. In several places we advertise parties of 6 and under, If the party is over 6 people we need to be contacted in advance due to USCG laws. You also only purchased 3 tickets!!! I assume you are intitled to break the law and receive 4 free tickets!! You will not receive a refund due to this slanderous review! All you had to do was contact us.

Worth It. Worth It. Worth It.

Tony_K, Dec 2023

Captain ‘T’ was great at his job. He even got a dolphin to chase the boat! Kids had a great time, and the sunset was perfect.

Enjoyable and informative small group tour

James_H, Dec 2023

I was mainly amazed by all the inland waterways. Until the cruise we had no idea of the vast expanse of water east of Madeira Beach. There was much to look at including numerous dolphins. Brian did an excellent job and explained the essentials clearly. The sunset was as promised

Relax on the water

M_S, Nov 2023

Thank you, Captain Brian for a wonderful boat ride! It was such a fun, chill experience and watching the dolphins 🐬 was so lovely

Sunset cruise

Patty_R, Nov 2023

Skipper Chris was a great tour guide. Our excursion took us a long beautiful scenery and we saw lots of dolphin. It was cloudy but we had an awesome time.

Bummer of a Captain

Elizabeth_W, Nov 2023

The boat was nice, the views were very pretty, dolphins were wonderful.... but the captain spent the entire time texting on his phone, didn't give any information about the area, left the sunset before it was complete... we arrived back 15 minutes before we should have. I tripped getting out of the boat, he had no concern - thankfully I caught myself.

Peaceful Sunset Boat Cruise

Callan_S, Oct 2023

Beautiful sights. Skilled Captain. Lovely boat. Easy arrival/departure instructions. Not part of a cattle call, intimate setting. Highly recommend!

Must do!!

Sylvia_L, Oct 2023

Incredibly peaceful sunset. My Captain was very nice and provided lots of history. Will definitely do this again!

Amazing

Latoya_Y, Oct 2023

Captain Brian was amazing. It was my boyfriend’s 40th bday and he had a great time. Highly recommend this sunset cruise.

Just Ok

Cynthia_A, Oct 2023

I thought I signed up for a different cruise which was my fault, however, the boat was old and worn. Our driver was great but not worth the price for a little boat ride in the bay. Not a unique or exciting experience.

Memorable

Sridhar_R, Oct 2023

Memorable experience. Watched dolphins and a beautiful sunset in the Gulf. The rooftop bar near the dock is also worth a visit
