Wonderful experience - Went to Tampa for a 4 day vacation and decided to end it Thursday May 29 with the evening sunset/dolphin cruise. We had a very enjoyable time on board. Along with seeing dolphins and some great scenery, Captain Joe was terrific as our tour guide. He explained in detail what we were going to see and do. Very personable and even offered to take pictures and air drop them to our phones. I would highly recommend Captsin Joe and his cruise package!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Sunset on the Water – Unforgettable Experience - We had an absolutely incredible private sunset boat tour in Saint Petersburg! From start to finish, everything about the experience was seamless, relaxing, and breathtaking. Our captain Joe was professional, funny, friendly, and clearly passionate about the area — sharing fun facts and pointing out wildlife along the way, including dolphins that swam right alongside the boat! Highly recommend!

Do it! - Captain Joe is an amazing personality and speaks vividly about the area. His relaxation shines through and contagies, along with the beautiful nature. Instruction, safety and “captain’s rules” were given with great confidence and naturalness. It is only recommended that you take on an early morning trip and see dolphins, sea cows and sunrise along with humorous Captain Joe.

Amazing boat, captain, and experience! - Insanely amazing time! This was my third time booking with captain joe and he never fails to bring an amazing experience. Knowledgeable and safe he always makes sure his guests are comfortable and their needs/wants are met to the best of his ability. So pleasant to spend time with and really puts his customers first. No matter what tour you do you’re sure to see some cool stuff and enjoy yourself leaving all the worries of the world on the dock. 10/10 experience would recommend and will definitely be back thank you!

Awesome Experience! - We took a 90 minute sunset cruise last night. The views were incredible and we had a great time, but what made this trip for us was Captain Joe. Just a great guy and very knowledgeable about the area, and always checking to make sure our expectations were met. We would definitely recommend any cruise with Joe and his company, and we’ll be back for another cruise soon.
