Great boat trip - We did a private sunset ride with Captain Marcos and it was fantastic! He made it so we could go shelling and see a few dolphins, double win!!! Plenty of room for our family of 5 on the boat and just overall a great experience, everyone had fun. If we’re in the area again in the future, I would absolutely book with Float Your Boat again.

Great sunset cruise - We had a fabulous time. Captain Jake took us on a wonderful cruise. We learned about the current history of the area, and we saw dolphins. I would highly recommend this experience.

Five-Star Experience with Float Your Boat in St. Pete! - We had the absolute best time with Float Your Boat! If you're anywhere near the St. Pete or Gulf Coast area and looking for a fun, relaxing, and unforgettable time on the water, this is the company to go with. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. The boat was spotless, super comfortable, and perfect for cruising the gorgeous coastline. Our captain was not only knowledgeable and professional, but also super friendly and made us feel right at home. Whether you’re into shelling, dolphin watching, island hopping, or just soaking up the sun with a cold drink in hand, Float Your Boat has you covered. The highlight for us was anchoring near a quiet sandbar and spotting dolphins playing nearby—totally magical. We also got to see some of the hidden gems around the St. Pete area that we never would have found on our own. We can’t recommend this experience enough. Great for couples, families, or even a small group of friends looking to make some core memories out on the water. Book it—you won’t regret it…. BYOB

Spring break 2025 - Float your boat tours was the best! We already did a dolphin boat ride and we saw more dolphins on this boat ride than the other. Highly recommend! Captain Jake was the best! He made sure to get up close to the dolphins to ensure we got the best photos. He took us to sand bars so we could get out and swim. Boat was clean, they had a cooler with ice for us. Would definitely do again!! Thanks for a great experience!!!
