Very friendly staff. We got to see some dolphins along the way. The clouds did not get out of the way for us to see the sunset. It was a very enjoyable ride and it's on our list of things to do when we come back to this area.

It was a great bargain and just what I needed to see an unobstructed view of a fabulous sunset. Crew were helpful and knowledgable.

Loved our sunset cruise, I recommend that you take a jacket and or blanket. The wind was really blowing so I was freezing. Over all we had a great time. I would definitely recommend them.

The crew was great. We enjoyed seeing dolphins and the sunset was beautiful. Take a jacket even if the temps are high. Sometimes the breeze picks up when you on the water.

Our captains were amazing. We saw dolphins at a really nice Cruise, the crew was very friendly and professional. Definitely will do it again.

I thought I booked something called a “ sunset sail” and imagined a large sail boat . I’d seen them on the water around sunset. However this was a repurposed scuba diving boat . Sat on a bench. No back to the seat . Saw sunset but over 45 minutes before we got back which dragged . Not what I expected.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Catherine, You obviously booked a different excursion then what you read. We are not a sail boat. Never have been a sail boat. We do NOT advertise sailing anywhere. If you could please take your review down we would appreciate that. To give us 3 stars because you booked something different then you meant to book is not very fair to us.

Take a jacket it’s colder out there. Captain Tracy and Seth were awesome. She even waited about 15 minutes for the last 2 to arrive. But, they didn’t come.
Donna_G, Mar 2026
It’s fun & family friendly.
One of the best activities we had while in Clearwater for a Wedding.
We saw the Dolphins thanks to Tracy’s expertise in moving the boat around.
Seth was great at pointing out the Dolphins & delivering great beverages for a great price. We all had a Great time 🎉

It was an amazing experience! Met & made new friends along the cruise. The Captain and her staff fantastic. The views were stunning.
Steve_M, Jan 2026
The cruise was cancelled. I was in formed that the captain cancelled the cruise because of foul weather approaching. This was a terrible experience for my family! It was a sunny warm day!
I want my credit card charge refunded to my card please. We are very disappointed as a family. So upset it was canceled at the last minute.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We are always sad when we have to cancel a trip. We have learned over the years that running when the forecast shows approaching bad weather leads to very bad experiences. Just because it's sunny in the afternoon doesn't mean it's going to be nice and sunny hours later. Your review should have thanked us for potentially not putting you and your family at risk chasing the all mighty dollar. Everyone's credit card is always refunded when we have to cancel. You are welcome for looking after yours and your family's safety.

I was disappointed that the crew was not at all focused on safety. The boat ride would have been more enjoyable for me if the upper deck had not been overcrowded with more people up there than were technically allowed per the signs prominently posted. It just felt like a free for all and I blame the crew for not managing that better.

Our family spent our last evening in Clearwater with a laid back sunset cruise around the Gulf. Captain Tracy and crew were wonderful, experienced hosts and ensured everyone on board were safe and taken cared of. The boat (which doubles as a dive boat) was spacious and accommodated quite a number of people to my surprise. The cruise treated us to a beautiful golden sunset as well as a pod of dolphins in the wild. The boat can get a bit rocky so if you're sensitive to that you might want to reconsider or take motion sickness medication.
Pro tip: it can get quite chilly on the boat so a wearing layers like a light jacket or a sweatshirt and long pants is highly recommended.
Linda_H, Dec 2025
I gets pretty cool as the sun begins to to set. We saw dolphins, Captain Tracy was very pleasant explaining aspects of the boat how the cruise would go. I'd recommend this was fun.
Sandra_D, Dec 2025
Very nice trip we really enjoyed it so much my kids was able to see dolphins and we get some nice pictures
Roxanne_S, Dec 2025
Captain Tracy and Captain TJ were fantastic—welcoming, personable, and clearly experienced at spotting dolphins. The views were beautiful, and the sunset made it an especially memorable Christmas Eve. A wonderful experience we’d highly recommend.
Robert_P, Nov 2025
Great experience, got to see plenty of dolphins and the captain and crew were amazing. Would definitely recommend.
Rick_Y, Nov 2025
The crew was caring and fun. The boat very comfortable. The view was great. Try to sit upstairs! Look for dolphins
Annette_R, Oct 2025
This was the perfect experience for my sister and I on our last night in Tampa. The staff were friendly, the boat was spacious and we were very lucky to see dolphins in the beautiful sunset!
My only concern is the area - it was dark at the end of the tour and so I strongly recommend ordering an Uber / arranging a lift to avoid feeling uncomfortable in unknown surroundings.
Christopher_F, Oct 2025
It was a great boat ride, there were several boat rides that day and after my research I'm glad I went with them and it was everything we expected and more I surprised my wife with a date night and she loved it, we seen several dolphins very close to us one came up next to boat, they showed us a beautiful sunset and different things it was breathe taking I will take this trip again
Amy_D, Oct 2025
Relaxing safe and family freindly! Lots of fun and saw a ton of dolphins. Captain is awesome and deck crew very attentive.
Barbara_G, Oct 2025
It was great! The hospitality was wonderful. The dolphins showed up.
I am glad my friend played her music, because it brought life to the
atmosphere.
Terry_R, Oct 2025
Came for a sunset cruise and see some possible dolphins on 10/17. It was our last excursion before heading back to Iowa. So glad we did it.
We had an incredible sunset and saw a lot of dolphins, some less than 15 feet off the side! Cold drinks, champagne and a great crew (thanks Ladies!)
John_B, Oct 2025
The girls did a great job! Never saw a dolphin but it still was a nice trip. Very knowledgeable and friendly guides. If it wasn’t for the guy who yapped on his phone for two straight hours it would have been even better. We’ll do it again and pray he’s not on the boat again.
