Booked two for the dlophin/sunset/sunshine skyway light cruise well over 6 weeks in advance. Was notified by Coastal Cruises (CC) literally two-hours prior on day-of cruise that tour was modified to standard dolphin sunset cruise due to skyway lights not working. CC did partially refund us for cruise price difference, but they should have provided us the option to reschedule when skyway lights working. While the cruise staff were professional and friendly, no attempts to even look for dolphins was attempted. Realize CC has no control of dolphins showing or not but what was supposed to be a sunset, dolphin-filled, skyway light showing turned out to be just a boat ride to an island to collect sea shells and view the sun going down. Enjoyed the time with my wife but the cruise was nowhere near as promised. I would not book this again.
CAPT Paul and Chase are a wonderful team. Very professional and entertaining. This is our 3rd trip with Coastal Cruises and we highly recommend you will not be disappointed.
Thank you so much for continuing to cruise with us! We’re thrilled to hear Captain Paul and Chase made your experience both fun and memorable. Having you back for a third trip means so much to our team, and we truly appreciate the recommendation. We can’t wait to welcome you aboard for trip number four!
THE BEST SUNSET CRUISE I HAVE EVER BEEN ON (& I’ve lived here my whole life)!!!
Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re so happy to hear that you had the best sunset cruise, especially as a lifelong local! It means so much to know we could make your experience so special. We hope to have you back out on the water with us again soon!
Amazing experience! Captain Dylan and assistant Hannah made the cruise very enjoyable! Only thing I would change is the loud music, it would have been nice to enjoy the sound of nature but I think with the young group that we have, it may not work for others.
Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad Captain Dylan and Hannah made your cruise such an enjoyable experience. We also really appreciate your feedback about the music and will keep that in mind as we work to make every trip enjoyable for all of our guests. We hope to have you back out on the water with us again soon!
My friend( a Florida resident) and I have been looking for a dolphin watching cruise. I happened upon this adventure and it exceeded all expectations. Noah and Aaron were a great crew making sure everyone had a great experience. They both seem to love their jobs , sharing their passion for the area. Aaron's photos were better then some professionals. Noah's narration made the trip. I can not say enough good things about our " three hour cruise."
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear the trip exceeded your expectations. Noah and Aaron will really appreciate the kind words, and we’re glad their passion for the area helped make the experience so memorable. It sounds like you got some amazing photos and plenty of great memories. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to have you back on the water again!
Hanna and Dan were great host. We had a great and fun experience. We saw dolphins, the sunset was spectacular and the bridge so beautiful.
Thank you for the great review! We’re so happy Hannah and Dan made your trip such a fun experience. Dolphins, a spectacular sunset, and beautiful views of the bridge make for an incredible evening on the water. We appreciate you joining us and hope to see you again soon!

My partner and I wanted to end our Florida trip with an experience we will never forget and that is exactly what we did! Starting with the great captains of the boat to the breathe taking views of the sunset it was the perfect little trip and well worth the price! Thank you Captain Noah, Pete and Erik for an amazing time❤️ Yall made the trip so enjoyable and couldn’t have asked for better captains! Thank you for your hospitality and making us feel so welcome 🤗
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're honored you chose to spend the end of your Florida trip with us, and we're so happy it was such a memorable experience. We hope to welcome you both back the next time you're in Florida!
Paul & Erin were fabulous hosts. The weather was questionable, fortunately for us the rain stopped & we were able to head out. Our hosts had the boat wiped down before we boarded & left on time. The boat & its head were clean & well cared for. I was quite impressed when our hosts extended some grace to a couple who arrived at the wrong boat launch. Knowing they couldn’t make it to the other dock in time they let them join our tour. We celebrated my husband’s birthday & felt well treated with good music, cold beer & special light show. Would recommend to others.
Thank you so much for celebrating your husband's birthday with us! We're so glad the weather cleared up and that Paul and Aaron were able to make it a memorable evening. They'll be thrilled to hear your kind words about their hospitality and quick thinking to help those guests who arrived at the wrong marina. We're happy you enjoyed the music, cold drinks, and the Skyway Light Show. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you both back aboard for another cruise soon!
