    Review summary

    4.9
    Excellent
    1.4K reviews•Google Maps

    Captain Christian and his first mate Ellie run a consistently wonderful operation out of St. Pete. Reviewers rave about their friendly, knowledgeable approach and how they make every cruise feel special, even during quieter off-season trips. The boat itself gets high marks for cleanliness and comfort, with the bonus of an onboard bathroom, plus reasonably priced snacks and drinks. Families especially appreciate how kid-friendly the experience is, with some mentioning children getting to sit in the captain's seat. Dolphin sightings are remarkably common, with many guests reporting close encounters and even dolphins jumping right beside the boat. Even those who admit they didn't see much wildlife say they'd still consider the cruise worthwhile for the scenic views and relaxing atmosphere. One reviewer noted difficulty finding parking and restrictions on bathroom use before departure, but this seems to be an isolated incident. The crew's local knowledge and relaxed vibe create an experience that loyal customers return to year after year with their visitors.

    THE Captain AND Miranda gave us the best experience they could given the choppy seas and limited Dolphin sightings. We did get multiple sunset views as we returned to port! Thanks for a Great Evening.
