Great experience for all!
Last year I took some guests on this cruise and they loved it.
This time I had out of the country guests and a couple of work friends celebrating birthdays, so the cruise was a great choice to show them one of the best experiences in Florida!
They all had a wonderful time and will cherish forever!
I believe you will see me again soon!!!

Worth every penny. You won’t regret it.
Captain Paul and his first mate, Gavin, were amazing from start to finish. Super friendly, made us feel welcome, helped my father-in-law who has limited mobility board and checked on his comfort throughout. The tour was fantastic - great views, commentary from Captain Paul and the sunset on Sand Dollar Key was priceless. Highly recommend. PS I’m usually pretty skeptical about boat tours, but this was one was well worth it.
Operator response
Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled you had such a great experience with Captain Paul and Gavin, and that your family felt well taken care of.
We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to have you back on board again soon!

Great fun, history, and wit!!!!
Dylan and Chase were amazing personalities. Friendly, funny, and tried to meet each of us how we were! I really like that because a lot of times people try to be higher or lower than we enter in. I loved mostly that their knowledge base about the city was wonderful.And the bridges were wonderful, and they had facts intellectual background and were able to joke all along the way.

Fun night on the water!!
We loved the Skyway Light Show Tour!! Our captain, Noah, and his first mate (Chase, I think), were both delightful, knowledgeable, and efficient! Besides that, the boat, itself, was just the right size (about 30 people) and very comfortable with padded bench seats.
I highly recommend it!!!

Well Worth It!
Of the week I was in St Pete Beach, this cruise was one of the highlights. I was initially disappointed that I did not get on the Sunset and Skyway Tour (I failed to book early) but was NOT disappointed in the Under the Stars Tour. The 2-person crew were friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. Riding in the boat to the bridge, well after dark, experiencing the night sky and stars on a crisp evening, well worth it! The bridge lights were stunning, and even the 2 other bridges we passed under on our way back was beautiful. It would be a trip I would take again if I ever came back to the area. The Captain was very good and positioning the boat so photos could be taken
Operator response
We are so glad the Under the Stars cruise turned into one of the highlights of your trip. The bridge lights at night truly are stunning, especially on a crisp evening.
Thank you for the kind words about the crew and captain. We would love to welcome you back the next time you are in town!
