Always a fantastic time. This is the fifth time I've done this and it never disappoints. Just beautiful scenery, great music and calming ocean breezes. We sipped on champagne and watched a phenomenal sunset.

Great sailboat ride. Captain Steve and 1st mate Christian were excellent! The music was great. There is a bathroom on the boat.

Captain Steve and Christian were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We sat in the stern area, it was very comfortable and the views were amazing. We brought a bottle of Cabernet, they had a corkscrew and cups. There is also a large cooler with water and 2 buckets full of ice to bring whatever beverage you’d like keep cold. We had dinner before embarking. Then the Sunset cruise….beautiful!!! Definitely best part of our stay near Clearwater! They deserved the gratuity we gave them and more!

Very relaxed. Professional crew. Saw lots of dolphins. Parking and finding the booth wasn’t difficult the end of December.

Beautiful sailing

Regina_H, Dec 2025
Not the economy route but it was sailing not bobbing around on a pontoon boat. Great for adults. Not for kids. Bring your own wine or Champagne and enjoy the dolphins and the sunset.
