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.

I hate to leave a 1 star review, but our trip was canceled due to “weather”. There was no rain in the forecast and it ended up being the most beautiful night. We were just really disappointed and I wish I could give a better review, but it felt like it was canceled due to not having max capacity for the boat and that it “wasn’t worth it” for them to go through with our visit.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Wow those are some ridiculous assumptions. A Saturday night... you really think our boats weren't full? Do you realize how painful it was for a small business to cancel for weather and issue hundreds of dollars of refunds. For you to leave us this ungrateful review?
There were lightning storms all around, and the other passengers on that tour were already apprehensive and questioning the risk of going out. Safety is our priority, as is the comfort of our passengers. Yes the weather cleared at the last minute. Give the weather service the one-star review. We're a small business trying to survive in an adverse economy. Next book with another company that wont care about your safety.
By the way.... we'll give *you* a 1-star review for being a terrible customer.
Troy was a wonderful captain. We witnessed dozens of dolphins, and had spectacular views. Very peaceful trip, I would absolutely do it again.
Relax and enjoy the experience! Bring your camera! Captain very knowledgeable. Just sit back and take it all in
Capt. David was fantastic—incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to make the entire experience special for us. The highlights of the trip were definitely the breathtaking sunset views and getting to see dolphins up close!
If you're looking for a memorable time out on the water, I highly recommend Island Ferry. We will absolutely be booking with them again!
It was OK a little overpriced. All we did was really look at the rich houses. I was expecting more history.
Nice sunset cruise! It was a small group, only 2 other couples aboard. Captain Dave was great! Def recommend it to others!
Troy was a great captain and did an awesome job as our guide. Was a great experience. The sunset was incredible! Small group which was so nice.
Very nice and relaxing sunset boat ride! Noel was a great captain and provided lots of interesting info.
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
Captain Troy provided amazing insights the gulf had to offer .
He took pride in making sure the passengers were safe and experienced the maximum opportunity for the journey
I liked the fact that there were only 6 passengers on this boat. I was able to freely ask Captain Troy several questions and I learned so much from him.
Directions were perfect, felt very safe. Troy did a great job, was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and the area. Gave great restaurant recommendations as well!
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.
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!
Take this cruise. It was fab
We toured under St Pete’s bridges and saw dolphins and pelicans galore.
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.

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. Dave skillfully maneuvered to give us the best views of these beautiful creatures with the sunset as an amazing finale. We highly recommend this tour and will take it again with future visitors.
Beautiful trip on the water. Bonus..we saw dolphins and beautiful sunset. Captain was great and knowledgeably.
My wife and I had an amazing time. The sunset was absolutely stunning. Nole, our captain, was very insightful and endearing.
Easy to book and the boat captains were very kind, insightful, and professional. Will totally do it again
Relax and enjoy it a great relaxing trip with friends or family. We had a good time. Will do it again
This was a perfect end to a beautiful vacation. Incredible sunset, incredible people, beautiful water and boat. Meg was absolutely perfect as our captain and I cannot recommend her or this tour enough! Thank you for the beautiful time!
Great evening. Captain Chris was grungy, entertaining and provided a smooth sail- and even graced us with a green flash sunset!
Captain of the boat was the nicest guy, friendly, entertaining and fun. Would definitely do it again. We saw dolphins, views were breathtaking
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!
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.
Very nice and relaxing. Saw dolphins, mansions and a beautiful sunset. The captain was very thoughtful.
Noel was a great tour guide, the experience and knowledge he shared was great. It was a beautiful night and a beautiful sunset.
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!
