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 🎉

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.

Sunset Cruise with Dolphins

Karen_Z, Mar 2026
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.

Beautiful Sunset

Upset With Cruise Cancellation

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...

Mairead_O, Jan 2026
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.

Fun and relaxing sunset cruise

David_L, Dec 2025
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.

Fun at sea

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.

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

A beautiful evening trip - a must!

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.

A must do

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

Relaxing safe and family...

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.

Incredible Sunset Cruise

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.

Amazing Views and Fun Dolphins

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!)

Nice job!

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.

Sunset fun

Not just your typical boat ride to go see dolphins,. And , yes we did see dolphins and a beautiful sunset. There were sites pointed out and given a background/history given on each. Captain and crew were very friendly and went above and beyond. Would do this excursion again and again.

Captain Good and Tiffany were very welcoming and assured that everyone had an amazing experience. Captain found the perfect sunset, a pod of dolphins, while Tiffany kept us hydrated 😊

Thank you!!!

Kelly_A, Aug 2025
We had such a wonderful time on our sunset cruise last night! Tiffany was an amazing host friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone felt welcome. The views were absolutely unreal, with the sunset painting the sky in the most breathtaking colors. It was the perfect combination of relaxation and beauty, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!
