An amazing cruise! From check in to debarkation, it was a very wonderful evening. The crew from first mate to bartender and chef and captain, was beyond outstanding. The menu was so delicious and the cocktails and wine the perfect accompaniment. We made new friends and just really had a perfect dinner outing. And a gorgeous sunset!

Matthew_D, Nov 2025
The sunset dinner cruise comes highly recommended from my wife and I. The crew was amazing and personable, the cocktails were delicious, and the food was absolutely incredible - the best we have had on the island so far! The captain took us to a beautiful part of the island to anchor out for dinner and everyone had an amazing time!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

What a joy to read you! We're thrilled you loved the sunset dinner cruise and that the food, cocktails, and crew all made it such a highlight. We'll be ready to welcome you back anytime! Warm island regards, The Pelican Adventures Team

Meh

Sara_B, Nov 2025
Was very impressed with the food, especially the red snapper ceviche which was outstanding! Nice night out, but I don't know that I would call it much of a cruise... we sailed for maybe 20 min and stayed docked maybe 200 yards from shore for the rest of the time before returning at the conclusion so that was disappointing. The crew / staff were all amazing, we had a good time and met some great people but if you are really looking to get out on the water and away from the shore this isn't the one. (people removed from the pics for privacy but there were several guests).

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Dear Sara, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, we’re delighted to know you enjoyed the evening, the crew, and especially our red snapper ceviche, one of our chef’s signature dishes! This experience is centered around the onboard culinary journey prepared by our private chef. The schooner anchors mid-cruise in a calm, scenic area so guests can enjoy their four-course dinner comfortably, without the movement of the boat. The anchoring spot is chosen intentionally to create the right setting for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience at sea. We truly appreciate your feedback and recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience soon. Warm island regards, The Pelican Adventures Team

Highly recommended trip

Steve_M, Nov 2025

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Chiquita_B, Jun 2025
I love tailored, customized experiences that are curated for small groups to enjoy fine dining, music, open bar, and engaging conversations with other couples. The entire Crew worked tirelessly to ensure the 4-course dining experience while docked was simply amazing. The Chef prepared a delicious meal that was flavorful, fresh, and filling.

It was July so it was hot! But once we started going it was much more enjoyable. Crew was great, food was good, scenery amazing and we were with great people.

Wonderful Dinner Experience

Shawna_P, Jul 2024
The entire experience was wonderful! All four dinner courses were excellent, the staff friendly, the singer talented, and the schooner a fun and different local for dinner. I drank champagne throughout. My husband and I really enjoyed this and would highly recommend.

The second time was just as wonderful as the first time!

Keith_B, Jun 2024
This is the second time we’ve done this sunset cruise, and we were not disappointed. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the food was delicious. There are no words to describe the sunsets that we’ve seen. Simply magnificent! On top of that we’ve made new friends both times. What else can you ask for other than memories and relationships?

We’ll Be Back for this one again!

Ken_M, Jun 2024
The entire atmosphere, food and music were exceptional. There were 3 couples in our group and everyone had a Great Time!!
