About

  • There is no better way to enjoy a sunset than on a boat in Sarasota Bay! Join us as we cruise along the Sarasota Bay coastline listening to music as well as some light narration about our local wildlife, history, and spectacular bayfront homes. Before heading back to the dock we will journey to Big Pass to watch a spectacular Sarasota Sunset over the Gulf.
  • We might see some of our resident dolphins and manatees through the trip (there are no guarantees when it comes to the marine mammals, they are wild).
  • It can get chilly after the sun goes down so make sure to bring a light jacket, and don’t forget your camera!
  • We sell refreshments such as bottled water, soda, and bags of chips on board, but please feel free to bring your own snacks and beverages (small coolers only).
  • Alcoholic beverages are permitted. Please refrain from bringing anything in glass bottles. Open containers must be consumed before returning to the dock.
  • This trip is suitable for all ages.
  • We must meet a minimum passenger count to cruise. Reservations are highly recommended. We take reservations for regularly scheduled cruises no more than 4 weeks in advance.
  • All scheduled cruises are subject to change.
  • Check in is 30 minutes prior to departure.

Cancellation Policy

If cancelling, customers have up until 24 hours before the time of the cruise to call for a full refund. You must arrive NO LATER than 30 minutes before your cruise time. If you are late and miss the boat: no refund will be issued.

If your passenger count changes before check-in time, you are responsible for calling the desk to alert crew for a refund based on our previously stated cancellation policy. Arriving with fewer passengers than originally scheduled without prior notice will result in no refund of unused tickets. Due to a coast guard enforced passenger limit, if you arrive with more passengers than were originally accounted for in your reservation we cannot guarantee tickets will be available last minute. In addition, you are not guaranteed a refund on purchased tickets if lack of additional availability prevents you from cruising with us.

Weather Related Cancellation:

Cancellation due to weather is decided by the captain by time of departure. Lightning, heavy rain, or high winds may potentially cancel the cruise; however, we operate rain or shine and scattered or isolated showers will not cause us to cancel. If we cancel due to inclement weather we will issue a full refund. For information regarding cancellation on the part of the customer, please refer to our previously stated cancellation and refund policy.
