Fun in the sun!
Amazing time! Enjoyed sitting on the sunning mats. I would only suggest better music, the age of Aquarius?!
Operator response
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour! And fair enough… It’s definitely time for the captain to retire ‘Age of Aquarius’ from the playlist! We hope to see you again soon. ♥️

Exceptional Sunset Excursion
Gordon and Chase made it a memory we won’t forget. We didn’t see any dolphins this time but the weather, laughter and relaxed adventure more than made up for it. The alcohol also probably helped a little, just kidding. We’ll definitely be back to try again.
Operator response
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We're so glad Gordon and Chase helped make it a memorable trip despite not seeing dolphins. We can't wait to have you back to try again! ♥️

Feeling Free on the Footloose
We have been on several sunset cruises in PCB. The intimate setting of a smaller crowd made this cruise more relaxing. The Captain and First Mate were so friendly and welcoming. Don’t forget to order the rum punch for that extra tropical feel! The dolphins put on a show for sure but the cherry on top of the night was the incredible sunset. Highly recommend taking a catamaran cruise on the Footloose. 10/10 You won’t be disappointed.
Operator response
We love hearing that! We're thrilled you enjoyed the trip and the rum punch! 🍹 We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon! ♥️

Sunset sailboat is worth...
Sunset sailboat is worth the money! We had a great trip! Just a little tip the boat does offer seating up front and just be aware you might get wet. I would recommend wearing quick drying clothes.
Operator response

Very crowded…the view is obstructed by seating arrangement. The music was good and we did see a few dolphins.
