Top St Petersburg Cruises & Sailing

If you park in the garage they validate and it’s $7.50 for the whole day. Also their restaurant on the pier is very good and reasonable and you get a discount showing your ticket stubs. The Dolphin Tour was very well run. Their boat is enjoyable as it’s covered with plenty of seating but open so you get a lot of shade but also fresh air. It can comfortably accommodate a lot of people and there are restrooms if you need them. Also they had restrooms on the dock and a nice covered waiting area pre-boarding. The two guys that Captain the boat are very nice and funny making it an enjoyable experience. Also I was very impressed that they sold packaged snacks and drinks at very reasonable prices. You could get a pack of chips for the kids for a dollar and $3 for a soda or an alcoholic beverage for three dollars. They tell you some interesting facts about Dolphins and the area while you are on the cruise. The Dolphins come right up near the boat. Very entertaining and enjoyable. I would do it again!

This was such an amazing experience! Our tour guide was very insightful about the surrounding area and marine life. We got to see some dolphins and go shelling. Overall, a great experience and would recommend anyone who comes to the St. Pete area to give it a try!

It was fun! You do need sunscreen and it’s hot before you get underway. Once you’re moving you’re fine. The dolphins were not interested and just feeding. The captain and first mate were really trying. And finally near the end of the trip they were jumping right by our boat and we got great videos and pictures! It was so cool!!

Great food, an excellent cruise on the intercoastal waterway. Only small disappoiinent was instead of the flat fee of $5 promised on the covered parking, the toll booth was unattended at 9:30pm and the card machine charged a full 3 hour fee of $15. It was a minor glitch in an otherwise great evening, but it still bothered me as I followed the instructions on the parking but could not get the flat rate fee of $5 as promised on the Calypso Breeze site. Poor instructions that negatively impacted the last part of the evening. Otherwise it is a great cruise!

Capt. David was fantastic—incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to make the entire experience special for us. The highlights of the trip were definitely the breathtaking sunset views and getting to see dolphins up close! If you're looking for a memorable time out on the water, I highly recommend Island Ferry. We will absolutely be booking with them again!

This was an awesome experience! I would not suggest it for small kids, but inexperienced canoe and kayak riders would love this! Its a bit of a work out but SOOOO worth it! You get to see many different sea animals; we saw shrimp, swimming crabs, sleeping pelicans, squawking Ingrids, and a few beautiful dolphins!! The most exciting part was posting up under the big bridge and feeding the swarm of catfish! It was so cool, they come out of nowhere, ready to hang and get free food!!! 🙌🐠🐟🐬 The two guides Jake and Andrew were awesome, understanding, and very kind! Great experience all around!

I had a decent time but it’s ultimately up to the people who book as well. The crew was nice and the sail was perfect but unfortunately the people i was with were very annoying and loud the entire time. Like overly loud screaming and such. Otherwise it would have been a perfect trip.

This was a really nice experience. The caption and his co pilot were so fun and knowledgeable about the dolphins. Complimentary beer and wine on board while you watch the dolphins and sail into the sunset. We saw an epic sunset while out on this cruise. Definitely recommend!
