The two-hour St. Pete sunset sail was such a beautiful and relaxing experience. The views were stunning, especially as the sun set over the water. I was definitely glad I brought a sweater—the breeze out on the sea gets a little chilly. The staff provided a nice, engaging narrative throughout the ride, which added to the experience. Snacks were available for purchase, though not really the highlight. Overall, it was a peaceful and enjoyable evening that I’d recommend to anyone looking for a scenic outing.

So romantic! Loved the views, but make sure you bring a sweater! Everyone was kind and really made sure we were comfortable the entire trip.

Sunset Heaven

Jaime_A, May 2026
It was easy to book online. Captain Brady and his crew were phenomenal. As we transitioned, he gave us informative tips on the architecture of the points along the coast and the nature. My wife always wanted something like this experience. I am glad to state that the whole experience was good for her and that she was excited. Thus, more points in my favor lol

This was one of the nicest boats we saw that did tours, had a bathroom, full bar, and the staff was wonderful in going above and beyond to help make the sunset tour great! I would highly recommend to anyone who asked for a great evening out.

Very nice experience. Nice young crew who were very friendly and helpful. Smiled a lot and spoke with guests. It was a beautiful night for a ride out on the seas. Very enjoyable.

Fun informative ride

Linda_B, Mar 2026
Breezy and chilly, bring a jacket and long pants to pull on. Inside the cabin was warm, but the sights were hard to view from inside. Great time was had.

Beautiful sunset

Jose_D, Mar 2026
Had a great time! The crew was great, very friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely do it again!

Great Experience /Friendly Crew

Highly recommended

Vicki_S, Jan 2026
An absolute blast! Personable crew, great bar, and the sunset was beautiful. One of the smoothest boat tours I’ve taken, and got some great photos. Thank you!

Pelican sunset cruise

Stunning views, staff attends to every need, Captain positions boat for remarkable pictures and keeps you appraised on route and when to take best pictures.

We had a relaxing time...

Sharon_B, Jun 2025
We had a relaxing time during our trip. The captain and team did a great job. Unfortunately it was too cloudy to see the sunset but seeing the bridge and St. Petersburg lit up was beautiful.

Really nice time.

Richard_M, Jun 2025
It was a really nice trip. Cloudy but that's what happens. The crew was very nice. The only thing was not enough chairs. There were a few up top. But only benches. And I have a bad back so was not really comfortable. There should have been more chairs on the main part. There was plenty of room.

Relaxing and soothing

Curtis_B, Jun 2025
Great time captain was awesome deck hands were on point music drinks really good time this would be great for date night or solo or family I recommend the water to everyone

Skyway Bridge

Andrea_K, Jun 2025
The boat was in time, while boarding we got a very friendly greeting from capstan Dennis and his crew! Big selection of wine beer and seltzers. The crew came out on deck to check on us and offered to take pictures of us and with friends. They had a great playlist for music as we rode out to the bridge. The experience seeing the bridge from that perspective was amazing.

100% recommend!!!!

Kristin_J, May 2025
The crew was phenomenal from the moment we stepped on the boat. Friendly and fun! We lucked out and had a small crowd - which allowed us to take amazing photos (shout out to Matt) and enjoy the drinks and views.

A must do while visiting St. Pete

Tj_B, May 2025
This is definitely a must do while you are visiting St.Pete. The crew was great, the water was beautiful, the sunset stunning, and there’s no other advantage to seeing St.Pete all lit up at night! And if you’re one of the lucky ones, you might spot a dolphin! Just a tip: The website says you are welcome to bring your own drinks & snacks. True. But if you prefer to travel light, there is an onboard bar.

Great trip!

VICKI_S, Apr 2025
With so many choices, we were lucky to find this trip for a sunset, cruise and beautiful views of the skyway bridge. It was an affordable option, medium sized boat with great views. The captain and crew were friendly and made the trip even more enjoyable. Lots of photo opportunities definitely would recommend.

Things you need to know

Rebecca_K, Mar 2025
Viator doesn’t tell you no kids under 18 and no beverages of your own. Bar and snacks on board. Crew was awesome and views were amazing!

Fantastic, comfortable...

Joan_M, Mar 2025
Fantastic, comfortable and memorable cruise. It was so amazing to see the cruise ships go under the big bridge. The crew was friendly and professional. Highly recommended, especially on days the cruise ships are departing.

Disappointing that it was cancelled

MaryAlice_H, Mar 2025
One of the employees called me an hour before the cruise to tell us it was cancelled due to high winds and rough water. The winds and wayer did not look like they were strong at all. I was planning to take my niece's family of 4 on the cruise. We were looking forward to it all week. Very disappointing!

The weather was perfect...

Michelle_G, Mar 2025
The weather was perfect to see the sunset, the lighted skyway bridge, full moon, rocket take off, and the beautiful St Pete City coast line. The staff was wonderful.

Fun ride, great crew

Megan_C, Mar 2025
Great ride! Captain and crew were super friendly. I went on the 7 pm ride, it was great but I wish the 530 wasn’t sold out as I would have liked it better. Bring a sweatshirt it can get a little chilly (we went in March)

Everything was well...

Lindsay_R, Mar 2025
Everything was well organized, the entire staff on the boat went up and beyond to make you feel so welcomed in your experience, and the views from the boat were incredible. The sunset was perfect and the ride to the Skyway Bridge was especially beautiful at night. This was a perfect two hour excursion.
