Great time,good food ,beautiful scenic views,just to b on the water is a great feeling in itself..highly recommend.

Worth the money for free...

Jackie_G, Apr 2025
Worth the money for free alcohol and a little boat trip on the water! Got to see dolphins! Was about 2 hours from start to finish!

Calypso Breeze Fun

Karen_C, Mar 2025
My husband and I were interested in an activity that ran from John's Pass. We picked the Calypso Breeze lunch tour. So happy we did! Had a great lunch buffet and tour of the waterways. After we ate, we took our rum punch to the top level to enjoy the scenery. Saw many dolphins playing in the water. I would recommend this tour!

Lunch cruise

Catherine_K, Feb 2025
Good experience overall! Easy to find and access boat. Parking is short distance from entry to boat. Very nice workers! Food and drinks were tasty!

Great lunch outing

Marcus_B, Sep 2024

Disappointed with Calypso Breeze Daytime Tropical Buffet

pat_g, Sep 2024
We drove 3 hours from the FL east coast and check in at their ticket office about 2 minutes prior to the 12:30 departure time. The Calypso Rep. took my name and told me the tour had been cancelled because there were not enough customers. He did offer to book me on the evening cruise, which I declined due to our other commitments. He said he would give me a refund but could not do it right then or provide any kind of receipt. I feel a phone call or at least a text letting me know it had been cancelled should have happened. I have requested a refund through the Viator web site and received an auto reply acknowledging my request and said it could take 2 weeks.

No title

JenniferDayana_O, Aug 2024
Very bad experience even they called we tell the office we're on our way they left us and loose our money my kids cried I will never be late again at least they supposed to give back Half of the money

We loved it!

Bonnie_C, Jun 2024
We're 4 little old ladies who decided to go on a "Staycation" to the beach. The Calypso Breeze was a nice way to have a little lunch on the water. We stayed on the Intercoastal Waterway which gave us a wonderful view of all the rich people's houses! The food was good, the drinks were free and we totally enjoyed the trip

Did the cruise once...

Mashunda_W, Jun 2024
Did the cruise once before and it was a great experience but it was not so much this time. The cruise should have the same experience throughout the day for every cruise as there’s no real experience before the dinner cruise

Worth it!

Lee_F, Jun 2024
The scenery was great and the food was better than I expected. The server, Steve, did a great job. I always had a beer in my hand.

Great experience

Marcelino_B, May 2024
Food, vibe, and great customer service....definitely something we will do again but with more family and friends

Chill vibes

Parbattia_P, May 2024
The view was great and the drinks. Wish it was a bit more scenery instead of houses and it was fun to explore.

Disappointing

Dennis_D, May 2024
The food was good. The boat not good since it never left the dock due to steering issues. Although they issued a half refund, the meal itself was not worth almost $50 for 2 buffets along with time wasted.

Beautiful location. Water...

Lori_F, Apr 2024
Beautiful location. Water was incredible. We had wonderful weather. Wasn’t too hot because of the wind.

Fabulous

Ron_F, Apr 2024
The Buffett and drinks. Staff was amazing. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Can’t wait for our next visit.

Scenery and meal were...

Dale_C, Apr 2024
Scenery and meal were excellent! Very courteous staff and a very pleasurable experience. Exceptional value for dining cruise.

Great experience

Stephanie_C, Mar 2024
We enjoyed all of it! Food was good, crew was friendly. We got to see some awesome views and beautiful homes on the water. Also got to see several dolphins.

Love This Florida Life

Michael_B, Mar 2024
The food was pretty good, nice people and the great Florida Scenery. I enjoyed the time I was able to spend with lady

Scenery galore, good food and drinks

Robert_L, Mar 2024
So relaxing and fun. Even the dolphins enjoyed swimming alongside the boat. I was amazed at how good the buffet food was. Honestly I expected something bland because the tickets were cheap but it was delicious! They play nice music, the guy comes on every now and then for some fun facts and you'll do a circle around the interior of the bay so you will see all the big houses, parks, crazy kids on their jet skis, the drunk boaters waving at you like crazy people, etc., all while you're relaxing with a glass of wine and a full belly. It's really quite a value. The interior is air conditioned and there are large private bathrooms. Please tip the staff. I saw so many people stiffing them on a tip. I felt bad for them.

Don’t think, just do!

Kanisha_W, Feb 2024
Food was delicious. Staff was attentive. Love the unlimited rum punch and fountain drinks. The vibe on the upper deck was great. I recommend this experience.

Fun time good value

Debbie_G, Jan 2024
Nice tour with good food and drinks - I would do this again - wish they had later tours - sunset time

Highly recommended

Apurva_T, Dec 2023
Fantastic experience with amazing views, warm and friendly staff, delicious food and a beautiful boat made our trip worthwhile. Thank you and keep up the great work.

Relaxing afternoon

Rodney_U, Sep 2023
It was very Interesting about some of the famous people. Plus got to see some dolphins while eating as well. Very enjoyable

Not what I expected

Sindy_P, Jul 2023
The dining buffet area was too hot during lunch cruise, didn't see any dolphins so don't take lunch cruise if expecting to see dolphins. Food was ok.

Nothing like we expected.

Loretta_W, Jul 2023
Nothing like the quality pre-Covid at Clearwater Calypso. Cold food- mediocre choices. However, beverage service was good. Could not hear narrative. Nothing impressive along route. Cost $229.55 for 5 adults. 3 of which were young teens. Wasn’t worth even half that. Won’t go again.

Food cold loud speaker not working only good thing we’re the waitresses

William_B, Jul 2023
None it stunk worst trip ever. Not worth 10 dollars lousey trrrible boring nothing good to say about it except waitresses

Relaxing on the water.

Sarah_E, Jun 2023

Very nice

Alisa_D, May 2023
Friendly attentive staff and nice ride we all enjoyed ourselves. Family with kids. Food was good, we saw dolphins

Food was excellent. ...

Hattie_G, May 2023
Food was excellent. Server was awesome. She was an extremely hard worker, very knowledgeable, pleasant and attentive. Best wishes for motherhood. Captain was excellent. Funny and engaged nicely with passengers. Sound system should be updated. More island like music would be great.

Nice
