A lovely evening - Nice, chilled out cruise. The captains were friendly, knowledgable and attentive. The dolphins were shy but we spotted a few! The boat was new and clean. Would recommend.

Beautiful excursion in St. Pete - Exceeded all our expectations! Such an easy and enjoyable excursion. Captain Cuda and Aharon were welcoming, funny and accommodating. The dolphin trip was very relaxing and we were able to see several dolphins going and coming from the beautiful Shell island. The price was very reasonable. Looking forward to our next trip with Coastal Cruises.

Serene Dolphins & Sunsets Galore - Very smooth boat ride and ample time to take in the sunsets. Our captains Dillon & Noah were such a pleasure to listen to and brought us right up to where multiple dolphins were playing. They also took care to get great photo ops for us and also took our picture at the end of the night. Would definitely recommend this tour line again!

Beautiful dolphin/sunset cruise - The sunset cruise was beautiful!! Dolphins came right up to the side of the boat. Both captains were so knowledgeable about the history of FL and super fun! It was a perfect way to end our trip.

Fun family dolphin activity! - This trip was a lovely family activity. Captain Paul and Captain Justice were very friendly, gracious and well informed. The views were lovely, the dolphins were a plenty and the little stop we made at sunset was a perfect mini-excursion to break up the trip. They even had blankets available since it was a little chilly. Highly recommend!

Very enjoyable experience - I took my grandchildren on this cruise, which they thoroughly enjoyed. They especially liked the lights on the Tierra Verde Bridge and the Cathedral under the bay. My grandson was happy to see a sunset on this side of Florida because he had seen a sunrise on the east coast of Florida. It was also fun stopping to spot dolphins swimming. The crew is very safety minded, and ensured the pleasant experience for all of the passengers.
