It was a beautiful experience traveling on a boat and watching the sunset. The crew was incredibly kind and made the experience so memorable. We had a beautiful sunset and got to see dolphins. The complimentary champagne toast was a nice plus. I will be recommending to everyone who travels to Clearwater

Was a great trip and even saw dolphins. We also saw Osprey which I will never likely see in the wild again. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. The crew was kind and funny. Very knowledgeable of the area and history.

Itinerary

There are few things more enjoyable than a leisurely sunset cruise. Whether it’s a romantic evening out, a celebration with friends and family, or a relaxing time for reflection, the sunsets off Florida’s western coast are famous for providing some of the best views in the world.

This catamaran leaves from Clearwater Bay and heads into the Gulf of Mexico. Listen and learn as the captain shares interesting facts about the Gulf Coast region.

Admire the sunset sky, which can oftentimes look like a painting with its brilliant streaks of color. Watch closely as dusk arrives and the sun begins to fade and gently lower into the horizon. The boat is perfectly positioned, so bring a camera to capture this incredible view. Be sure to watch for the green flash, an optical phenomenon that sometimes occurs right after sunset. When the conditions are right, a green spot is visible just above the upper rim of the sun.

A Champagne toast is included on this sunset cruise. Beer, wine, and soft drinks can be purchased on board. Return to port after almost two hours on the water.

What a great cruise! The weather was perfect and the crew was attentive and knowledgeable. They made sure to remind us of safety precautions many times, which was helpful. The first mate, Zack was humorous and entertaining. The trip was as advertised as it lasted just a bit over 90 minutes. The sunset was incredible and the whole experience created many memories for us! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a budget friendly activity!

Lucretia_L, Jun 2026
Get there EARLY. Traffic is so crazy and so is parking. The address is not actually where the boat is. Just look for tropical Boat tour and check in

Fun crew and they make sure you are well taken care of! Two layers to pick from. We like being outside where you can see. We have always seen dolphins every time we’ve ridden.

Great way to get on the water for a fair price! Announcer was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable of Clearwater. Gorgeous views of the sunset.

Parking nightmare

Dee_P, May 2026
Horrible experience. Parking lot is a disaster, caused me to miss my boat entirely. No help, no refund, just terrible customer service. Do not trust them with your vacation.

Response from Host, May 2026

While we do apologize for the inconvenience traffic and parking can cause, we specifically call out the limited parking in our booking confirmation - see small excerpt of this below.... Getting to Us & Parking: The marina is undergoing construction so onsite parking is extremely limited. The information goes on to give alternate parking options as well as public transportation information. We do allow rescheduling and I am sure this was offered to you already but if you are interested in doing so, please email us at setsail@thetropicsboattours.com

Sunset Views

Thomas_B, May 2026
Nice trip around St. Pete Beach area, plenty of pretty views and a few pods of dolphins going by the boat. View of sunset not much different then on the beach, but a worthwhile experience nonetheless.

Great sunset tour, several dolphin sightings

Al_F, May 2026
Tour departs just a stones throw from Saltwater Crackers restaurant, be sure to check in at the tour desk before heading over to the boat itself. Super friendly staff, and a great sunset tour bargain as well.. 5 stars 😍

Best way to enjoy the Sunsets of Clearwater

Enjoyed beautiful views of Clearwater & the amazing sunset. The captain was very informative & talked about the different landscapes we passed by. Also had the pleasure of watching dolphins swim right alongside of our boat. Be sure to sit on the top deck to enjoy the full skyline views!
