Peaceful Sunset Sail

A relaxing and peaceful experience, perfect for enjoying a sunset sail. The crew was fun, and we were lucky enough to spot a manatee and several dolphins along the way. The sunset was stunning, with truly spectacular views. I especially appreciated the laid-back vibe and smaller group, which made it easy to connect with others and fully enjoy our time on the water. Highly recommend!

Dolphin Shelling Snorkeling Cruise in Tampa

Kelly_P, Apr 2026

Dolphins, Snorkeling and Shelling

It should be more clear that you board the boat right at Sculley's boardwalk. We found the right spot after walking around for awhile. Once on the boat it was awesome! We saw dolphins, went snorkeling and walked Shell Beach. Our captain, Kevin, was so nice and helpful. Highly recommend.

Fun in the sun!

It was a great day to be out on the water. We saw dolphins at play, a parasailor, and lots of other boats and water toys out there, but it was lovely when we got out away from the majority of others, with just the sounds of the water and the sails flapping. Captains Mike and Shane were informative, fun, and constantly aware of the shifting needs of the schooner, immediately adjusting sails and steering when necessary. Definitely recommend and would love to go out again if we're ever in this area again!

TRACY_M, Apr 2026

A great sea day

Troy was a fantastic captain! He is knowledgeable about local wildlife and we learned a lot and shell beach really lived up to its name it was basically made of shells. I didn’t get sea sick at all and are group had only 5 people on each of the three boats. We also saw d dolphins they they were so close to the boat that you could almost touch them!

The entire experience was...

The entire experience was top notch. The crew were very professional, friendly, and organized. They prepared us well for what to expect. The boat cruised to about half a mile off shore with great views of the short line. The flight was comfortable, gentle, and like flying. They took great pictures of us and our children, which were worth the nominal fee. Highly recommend to anyone.

Cruisetastic

We picked a night fog rolled in and our uber driver got us there a few minutes late, but captain was waiting for us and the staff was great! The fog disappeared during our cruise, and we had a family of dolphins follow alongside the boat too! Unlimited Cocktails, beautiful views, great music from the DJ and great variety of food. We loved it!

Sharkeys Glass Bottom Fish Feeding LED Night Tour St. Pete Beach

Nicholas_H, Sep 2025

Great night time Kayaking tour

Went with the family in this fun little trip out and back for night time kayaking. Clear bottom boat, the light in the water and then gave us fish food to attract and see tons of fish was great. The kids loved it a lot. Easy trip with light paddling, so it was great for our beginner family members who had no experience before. The tour guides were great, very friendly and fun. Would recommend this trip to everyone!
