Left on time, very organized, good sound system could be heard clearly. Information was interesting and relevant. Wild life plentiful dolphins, manatees and other boats! Well worth the cost.

The staff was very friendly and informative. They covered each and every detail while cruising. Excellent.

Short in distance, very entertaining tour

Andreja_G, May 2026
The tour was very entertaining, i loved to listen to the stories about the houses along the way, since it took a long time to get to the open sea/Gulf it was nicely filled. Trip out in the open water is very short. We did see the dolphins. Great seats upstairs, in the shade.

Wonderful

Jeremy_K, May 2026
This is a boat tour that goes past the mansions. We saw dolphins swimming along the boat and a bunch of stingrays when we went out into the gulf. It was informational and the captain had dad jokes.

Fun boat trip

Nancy_M, May 2026
Fun, scenic boat cruise! We saw lots of dolphins! There was shade and a nice breeze on the boat! The staff were very friendly and shared a lot of interesting information.

Lovely staff, really enjoyable experience.

Chris_S, May 2026
Five Stars! I would recommend this to anyone who is traveling in the area. This needs to be 100 characters and I have nothing else to say.

Pre honey moon trip

Genelle_W, May 2026
I had friends from a different state join me on the trip ,so they were wowed at everything ,all the captains were great ,offering to take our pics and making sure we were all good and comfortable .

Recommend boat ride to see big mansions and natural wildlife.

Mario_S, Apr 2026
Is nice and safe; the crew very professional. Seen the dolphins is not a guarantee, depends on these gracious creatures to show off. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the trip and the narrative by the boat captain.

Double Sunshine Naples Cruise - DON'T DO IT!!

Vicki_N, Apr 2026
We have taken this cruise MANY times and it's always been great. Today was a very different experience. For the beginning part of the cruise no information was given on the way out to Port Royal, once getting to Port Royal we did not go in the chanel. The Captain just pointed from a far the Big Dog boat and then we circled around and he pointed out some other homes then went into the Gulf. His tone was very monotone the entire time and there was no enthusiasm in his voice whatsoever. The worst cruise we have ever gone on with Pure Florida and we bring all our guests on this cruise. We will not be doing this any longer. When getting off the boat, the captain was there and my husband was saying how terrible this cruise was and how the captain did such a horrible job with it all and the captain yells to him, "Thank you and NEVER COME BACK." Then tells my husband, "GO MAKE SOMEONE ELSES LIFE MISERABLE". How very unprofessional of the captain and uncomfortable for his staff also!! This cruise is not worth the money spent and we would NOT recommend it anymore. It has definitely changed and not worth a dime.

Not very kid friendly...

Chelsea_B, Apr 2026
Not very kid friendly kinda boring for them more for seeing history about the land vs dolphins and sea life !

Very relaxing and informative ride. There are snacks and drinks available for purchase. We all had a great time!

Big Changes have been made

Jon_S, Feb 2026
I have been taking this tour for over a decade but will not do it again. The staff was terrific and this is not a reflection on them: Josh, Renee, Zach knowledgeable and pleasurable. The problem is we use to go in the inlets and see many more homes and get A Lot more information. Now we are no longer permitted to go in the inlets because of new Ownership of the Double Sunshine. So the new owner is limiting the tour but Raised the Price! Seems counterintuitive to me. It pains me to say this but that was probably my last tour unless things change back!

I thought the cruise was good. I myself think if the winds are bad and it’s cold they shouldn’t go out.

pambalcer, Feb 2026
I would buy the tickets the day of. If it’s cold, rainy and windy. They still go out. Which wasn’t good.

We really enjoyed being...
