The boat itself was clean, comfortable, and felt truly like a luxury experience. Captain Greg was extremely knowledgeable about the area and made us feel completely safe the entire time, while also making the trip fun and relaxed. We were able to explore some beautiful islands, enjoy the water, and even spotted dolphins along the way. What I appreciated most was how customizable the experience was. Whether you're looking for a chill day on the water, a sunset cruise, or something more high-energy, they really tailor everything to your group. If you're considering booking a charter in the Tampa/St. Pete area, I highly recommend Sea Tampa Bay. It's the perfect mix of luxury, professionalism, and an unforgettable time on the water. We'll definitely be booking again.

We only went out for a couple of hours, but we really enjoyed the experience. Captain Greg went out of his way to find the perfect pick up and drop off spots for us.

The boat was smaller than other dolphin tour boats and he was able to maneuver so that we got an up close view of the dolphins hunting. Later, he was able to entice the dolphins to jump in the boats wake. We even saw a tiny baby! After the dolphins, we went to some sandbars to find and hold conch, crabs, and live sand dollars. Lastly, we stopped by shell beach. Throughout the trip, Bam pointed out local favorites for beaches and dining. He also answered all of our questions about the animals in the area. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Great trip, everyone loved it. Thanks Captain Bam!

We had a great day and would book with them again & again. Thanks for a perfect day on the water!

My family was vacationing in Anna Maria Island, and we wanted to do some sort of boat trip while we…read morewere there. We've done tours on other trips to other places, but I really didn't want to be on a big boat with lots of strangers. When I saw this tour, and all the great reviews, I knew this was what we needed to do. Susan was great handling the booking (I booked a month or so in advance, which was good so that we could get the time/day we wanted!) They did an excellent job of following up on the booking, then confirming the day before and making sure they knew what we wanted and answered our last minute questions. Parking at their storefront was easy, and the boat itself is just across the street. We showed up a few minutes early to be outfitted for snorkel gear which was quick and easy. It was a bright and sunny day, and Mike had us head out to Egmont Key so that we could explore the island. What was really awesome was that they didn't expect you to jump off the front of the boat (unless you wanted to of course!), they had steps that you could use that were quick and easy (and with a bad back, very necessary). It was a super hot day, so he gave us bottles of water, explained the layout of the island and off we went to explore. We saw some turtles, the lighthouse, and the fort ruins, and then had a nice walk on the beach before re-boarding the boat. He then took us just a little ways off shore to some rocky ruins in the water and got us out snorkeling. They have pool noodles if you just want to float, and they also had a big floating mat that you could lay on if you wanted! When we had our fill we climbed back on board and we were off to Passage Key. The water around Passage Key is amazingly clear - even waist deep you could pretty well see the all the way down. This area was very sandy, but the bottom was covered with hundreds and hundreds of sand dollars. You could feel them just under the sand when you walked, and you could then dig them out with your toes or just go under water and grab them. The key is that you cannot take any live ones - so if they are brown and fuzzy you have to put them back. We trolled around digging up sand dollars for quite some time - we must have dug up hundreds, but that day we only managed to come across one white, dead sand dollar that we could keep (but we did find several gorgeous "sunset" shells that were cool!) At this point we climbed back into the boat and saw that a thunderstorm was approaching in the distance, so we headed back for the marina. We were disappointed that we didn't get to see any manatee that day, but we knew that you can't always plan for that. We arrived at the marina just as a few drops were falling so the timing was perfect!! We booked the 4 hour tour so that we would not be hurried, and we used every minute of it - I wouldn't have changed a thing. You absolutely need to book this tour - why share an experience with a bunch of strangers when you can have the boat all to yourselves! You won't regret it, it was certainly one of the highlights from this trip!!
