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.

Onboard refreshments are available. The assortment includes a couple of beers, hard seltzer and lemonade, some non-alcoholic beverages, and bagged snacks like crisps. Will go again on this cruise when we are in the area.

He also gave us history of the homes on the water. We saw so many birds and the views were amazing. It was Father's day. So the Father's got their first drink free. They sold snacks such as chips and candy. Also sold alcohol refreshments as well as non alcohol. My advice is to use the restroom prior to boarding. The restroom was on the lower level and those steps looked treacherous. Even for me. I was glad I went beforehand. The boat did do a lot of rocking so you have to be very careful. His first mate was helpful in getting everything for everyone. This was very affordable and definitely worth the price. Parking can be a challenge so I recommend paying to park. So that you won't miss the boat. We departed at 1pm. The ride was a total of ninety minutes. Highly recommend. Hold on to your hats and get ready for a good time.

Watching the sun dip below the horizon while cruising on the water was nothing short of magical. Captain Austin kept the energy fun and made sure everyone had an incredible time. If you're in St. Pete and looking for a unique, fun, and scenic way to experience the sunset, this is it! Can't wait to do it again!

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!
