Captains were very kind... - Captains were very kind and helpful. We were comfortable on the boat. Considering the winds, we enjoyed the ride. Just disappointed we couldn’t get close to the skyway bridge bc of weather and seas. It was only the weather’s fault.

Fabulous Way to Spend an Evening on the Bay - What a wonderful evening/night we spent with Paul and Tony of St. Pete Coastal Cruises! The boat was operated expertly, the commentary, music and service along the way terrific, and the sunset and shelling opportunity were fantastic. The weather cooperated to show off the setting sun and there were large, pretty, empty, connected bivalves for the taking as well as plentiful sand dollars at the little island we stopped off at. Our group of friends from a Lakewood Ranch community thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and vowed we will do so again. Beautiful night, great, unusual views from under the bridges and shiny houses kept our interest as did the clear sky displaying constellations once dark. Highly recommend!
PS we had to reschedule when there were storms coming in and were happy they kept our safety first. Even more happy making was it was easy to reschedule the group of 10 of us through the office where (so sorry I cannot remember her name, Jennifer maybe?) Was professional friendly and very efficient, making it effortless for all of us!

Excellent - What a wonderful relaxing cruise. Traveled through the bay, spent 20 minutes on shell key to see the sunset. Then explored the bridges around the bay as we headed back to the marine. The crew was informative and attentive. Highly recommend it!

Awesome trip! So glad we went!!! - Great trip out to Sand Dollar Island and then over to the bridge. Easy to find and easy boarding access. Tim and Brianna were knowledgeable and provided a fun trip. Despite the weather not cooperating 100% and making the water too rough to get too close to the Skyway, it was still definitely worth it!!!

Sunshine Skyway Cruise - Excellent value for your money. Knowledgeable crew. Easy location to find with plenty of parking. Short walk to the dock. This was a fun and well planned cruise on a modern vessel!

Fun night! - Captain Toby, Tony & Calton were awesome! Beautiful sunset, found some sand dollars too! Was just a little disappointed about no light show on the bridge. However, it was dedication week & was lit up for Autism Awareness so that made it OK! Was great to have a bar with reasonable prices & a restroom on board! They played awesome music & we have a really fun time!
