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.

He was super friendly and didn't mind our music selection. It was such a smooth ride and awesome time for my friends and I to hang out and dance and enjoy each other. I would absolutely recommend this activity! I was a bit skeptical because of the in-depth waiver, but once you get there, it's understandable lol. It's a BYOB and Food boat so we got to bring whatever we wanted. They provided a large cooler to put our drinks in. It was such a nice vibe. There was a "bathroom" on the boat which was cool if you need one. There were life jackets, and this cool ski for shots. Captain John took us to a spot where a few girls got to jump off the boat into some 3ft waters. Overall a great first experience. And I don't know how to swim and not that fund of small boats LOL, so for me to want to do it again, it was a decent time. Definitely something great to do on a chill weekend!

A tiny tank with some miscellaneous fish and a baby puffer, a touch tank with some sea urchins, horse shoe crabs, hermit crabs, sea stars, and sea cucumbers, another tank with some brittle stars and a sea horse, and one last tank with some lion fish! There's $3 admission for military but I cannot imagine paying double that. I hope the profit goes to something beneficial for wildlife. We really took our time checking out every tank once we saw how small the room was. There was an employee at the touch tank that was extremely knowledgeable about the animals they have. Overall it was enjoyable to step inside and spend 20 minutes looking at fish tanks.

We sailed around the area near the coast and saw lots of dolphins, we even saw a baby dolphin!!! That was a first for me and it was so magical.

This review is for a Sunset sail with 7 people including a 10 and 11 year old. This is my third sunset charter with Sailing Florida over the last couple of years; it's a great activity for family and friends when they visit Florida. Every sail has been memorable. This past Sunday we took out Still Dreaming, a beautiful 46 foot Beneteau for the roughly 3 hour, post Xmas, sail in Tampa Bay. All of the Captains have been excellent and Captain Rob continued that tradition. Short briefing for the adults and he took a little extra time with several grade schoolers who needed an extra bit of maritime instruction before they were allowed run of the ship. These boats are just immaculate! Sodas and water are supplied but you can bring your all your favorite provisions. Plenty of photo ops just let the Captain know what you want. The boats have blue tooth so bring you own tunes as well.

You bring your own food and drinks, and they have a cooler for you to keep stuff cold. Note that there is a place at the Bay Pines Marina where you can get food to bring onboard. We grabbed some fries and onion rings and they were good. This is a perfect way to spend part of the day whether you live in FL and don't yet own a boat (us) or your visiting FL and want to enjoy some time on the water (our friends). Can't wait to do it again the next time we have visitors in town or just want to get on the water.

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!
