This your far exceeded expectations. David made sure all 6 of us had complete safety instructions. He Captained this very comfortable vessel through the passes and into the Gulf of Mexico for a beautiful sunset. He was very familiar with the sites, surroundings and atmosphere of this waterfront community. A must do and see experience!

Very nice leisurely cruise to watch the sunset and then back to Tierra Verde. Are Captain Noel was very knowledgeable and safety was primary concern in addition to interesting information on our cruise around to watch the sunset

Overview

Although it’s shared, the passenger count is kept low to create a semi-intimate experience as you cruise through residential canals to view local mansions. As you pass by Tierra Verde, you might see dolphins swimming near your boat. Bottled water is provided, as well as blankets in the cooler months.
  • Spend a leisurely evening with a fellow sailing lovers
  • Watch the sunset over the water while looking for dolphins swimming nearby
  • Explore residential canals that border lavish homes
  • Sip bottled water and curl up under a blanket during colder cruises

As you navigate through residential canals, the tour offers you a glimpse of local luxury homes along the water. While cruising near Tierra Verde, keep an eye out for dolphins.
To enhance your comfort, bottled water is provided, along with blankets during cooler weather, so you can travel light.

The highlight of the trip is the chance to see a stunning sunset over the water, coupled with the chance to spot dolphins in their natural habitat. Concluding the cruise, you'll return to the start point, where you can continue your onward adventures.

Jared_T, Mar 2026
Noel was very knowledgeable and led a great tour. We got a little lost and we didn’t realize we were late for check in and they took the time to call us and made sure they didn’t leave without us. There were only four of us on the boat and it felt like a friend taking us on a little tour.

Michelle_R, Jan 2026
This was a wonderful evening tour - fun and knowledgeable captains in an intimate setting. They found lots of dolphins for us and took us through all the little interests in the bay. Topped it off with a beautiful spot for the sunset. Terrific experience.

Great sunset cruise

Molly_D, Oct 2025
We had a great time on the sunset cruise. Captain Noel was great & we learned so much. We saw several dolphins & tons of pelicans. We've done other cruises on larger boats in the area, we really enjoyed this cruise with a much smaller group. The sunset was incredible. We will definitely book this cruise again when we are back in the St Pete area.

Amazing Sunset Tour with Captain Dave

Three of us went on this tour with Dave, our Captain and Tour Guide. It was an exceptionally beautiful evening with dolphins swimming around our boat.

Cruising in comfort

Maureen_E, Apr 2025
My teen daughter and I had a wonderful time cruising the canals, seeing the beautiful land and seascapes, all while chatting with our knowledgeable captain and the couple who booked the same experience. Everyone was extremely friendly and engaged. We had a wonderful time. We even saw dolphins 🐬 and the sunset was magnificent!

Relaxing boat ride with experienced captain

Heather_P, Mar 2025
This is a lovely, almost private boat ride. There are no more than 6 people and it makes it relaxed and very easy to enjoy the time. Captains are experienced and don’t put on a “show” for the group. They live here and love the area and it shows.

Great experience

Caroline_K, Mar 2025
Very nice and relaxing. Saw dolphins, mansions and a beautiful sunset. The captain was very thoughtful.

Great Sunset Tour

HEIDI_C, Mar 2025
Noel was a great tour guide, the experience and knowledge he shared was great. It was a beautiful night and a beautiful sunset.

5 Star Experience 🌟

Andrew_C, Feb 2025
Capt Dave made us feel invited and welcome from the very beginning to end of our sunset cruise experience. I thought it was the perfect way to celebrate a night out with my wife on our honeymoon vacation. Being by the water, taking in a sunset, and watching the wildlife of the area was very romantic. Capt Dave added to the experience with his knowledge of the area, skill as a skipper, and his willingness to go above and beyond even taking photos of my wife and I with the setting sun in the background. I would highly recommend this experience for any couple that's looking for a truly one of a kind romantic experience. Definitely ask for Capt Dave!

Great Captain! Great time!

Josh_D, Jan 2025
Noel was a very good captain and we got to see dolphins and all kinds of birds! He showed us the historic homes and where the hurricanes hit the hardest. Great ride!

Sunset fun!

Dave_M, Jan 2025
Great eve! Private and personal. Will be back! Thank you so much to our kind and accommodating captain, Noel! Great memories and photos!

Scenic and interesting

Tammy_S, Dec 2024
Captain Noel friendly and courteous, informative. Unfortunately didn’t see dolphins, but understand not always the case. Well worth the price.

Perfect

Deb_D, Oct 2024
Peaceful. Great small comfortable boat. Knowledgeable captain. Very kind crew. All in all a perfect night. Will definitely return.

Boating w Bri

Jeffrey_R, Aug 2024
Bri (Brianna) was very sweet with our young kids and we felt safe boating with our 2 kids under two. They had appropriate life jackets, good tunes, and we didn’t feel rushed or anything just relaxing with the sea.
