Guests Love Our Fun & Scenic Cruises!

We had the best time, dancing and enjoying the beautiful sunset on Sarasota Bay. Lots of fun! Dan is a local musician/songwriter that we have followed for years. We make a point of taking this cruise while Dan is on it at least once a year. What a beautiful fun night.

Captain Ryan was the best! Fun time with friends! Great guide who shared interesting info! Drinks were good! Not rip off prices! Thanks for a fun afternoon!

What a lovely time! The staff at the bar on the main floor was amazing. The guy playing sounded good but we honestly had a blast on the main floor and saw the beautiful bay and gorgeous sunset.

We’ve been visiting Siesta Key since 2001 and this is the first sunset cruise that we’ve taken. It’s very reasonably priced. $30 per person. There is a cash bar and light snacks and they too are very reasonable. It truly was an enjoyable evening.

Went on the Sunset Cruise with out of town friends. This was our fourth trip. Very enjoyable evening. Beautiful warm evening and gorgeous sunset. Cruised by beautiful homes on Siesta Key and Bird Key Island. The so singer performed throughout the whole cruise with music that fitted the event. Overall well worth the $30 cost.
