They were very speedy cleaning up from the guests that just finished their charter and let us on a little early. Plenty of space for our group of 4 adults, definitely room for more. Loved that they had some snacks and drinks provided - such a nice touch, though we did bring our own since it was a birthday celebration. The cruise itself was great, gave us options of how we wanted it to go, and let us out to swim for a little. The wind wasn't in our favor so no full sailing BUT the weather was great and we were still plenty happy cruising on the water - even got a little extra time on the end. They were honestly great overall, checking in on us during the cruise from time to time while also just letting us be to enjoy ourselves. Highly recommend and would book again!

Jonas and Greg were the most hospitable hosts that made us a beautiful charcuterie tray for 6 people. Fresh cheeses, meats and fruits. They offered wine but but we decided we didn't need to drink. The ride to the Skyway Bridge was beautiful and the water and weather were all working in our favor. It was a relaxing ride and we saw a couple of pods of Dolphins. We felt we could reach out and touch them. As we got to the skyway and turned towards shore, the captain asked if we would like to sail, which we did for a while. It was spectacular. The catamaran was beautiful, clean, comfy and cozy. We were briefed on where to find the lifejackets and there was a small raft on the aft. I cannot say enough about this truly wonderful crew and Boat "Sweet Escape ". I highly recommend and will use them again! Thank you guys for a truly amazing time. My family was blown away.

The weather was perfect, the music was great, and the boat crew made the experience even better. My friends purchased the unlimited drink package, but since I don't drink, I went with general admission and still had access to water and sodas, which I really appreciated. The floats they provided were so much fun, and the four Coastal Cruises boats tied together created such a fun party atmosphere. Everything was well organized, and the entire day was an absolute blast. If I could do this every week, I would! Highly recommend.

Along with finding some amazing shells we caught a nice, yet somewhat cloudy, sunset...got some great pictures regardless. The waters were calm as could be and I have to say here, listen to your Captains when advise you to bring some coats...it gets chilly out there on the water when that sun goes down! They supplied some very warm blankets for their passengers as well. Now, on to the main event... The light show from the vantage point that they are able to get you is amazing! You cannot get these views from anywhere else! They take the time to ensure that everyone on the boat has the chance to get some fantastic views and pictures...it's touches like that that makes Coastal Cruises so good at what they do. They make it so everyone has the opportunity to experience the best possible cruise they can. Fantastic time...thanks

Wow! What an experience! We took a 9am tour to Shell Key on Cap'n Dalton's boat. There were only…read moresix passengers on board, which meant there was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the sunshine. Dalton provided expert commentary about the area, even pointing out a few celebrity homes and yachts along the way. It was a gorgeous ride over to Shell Key, and we even saw a few dolphins along the way. Once on the island, we had about 45-50 minutes to explore the beaches and do a little snorkeling and shell-hunting. The island is aptly named, with rows and piles of shells along its white, sandy beaches. The water was warm and perfect for swimming. Soon enough we were back on board and heading back to the harbor. And that's when the magic happened: dolphins! Following along in our wake, and no doubt attracted to the enthusiastic squeals of one of our dolphin-loving fellow passengers, the dolphins put on quite a show. Even Dalton, who I assume sees a LOT of dolphins, was impressed by how long they followed in our wake and performed jumps and flips for us. It was truly one of the most remarkable experiences of my life! Thank you Dalton and Island Ferry for an amazing and memorable tour and one of the true highlights of our vacation!

Eric, the captain of our trip, made our trip extremely comfortable and provided us with great insight into fun facts that we were unaware of regarding both the voyage, boat, and surrounding area. On top of the highest quality communication and service, they were willing to accommodate a last minute change to the destination of our charter due to the effects of Helene, and they even gave us a ride back to our hotel after we docked the boat! Truly couldn't speak more highly of these folks! Will absolutely be chartering with them on our next trip to St Petersburg.
