An absolutely perfect sunset cruise!

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!

Just ok

It was OK a little overpriced. All we did was really look at the rich houses. I was expecting more history.

Great time on the water

We have done the Shell Island tour with Island Ferry of St. Pete several times and it has always been great! This was the first time using this company for the sunset cruise and it will not disappoint. Our Captain, Troy did a great job, and we were lucky enough to have a perfect night, calm water and a beautiful sunset.

Beautiful sunset cruise!

It was amazing! We saw dolphins, a manatee and lots of birds, it was a beautiful ride up and down the canals then out to the Gulf for sunset. Noel was the best tour guide! We’ll be back!
