St. Pete Coastal Cruises lets you experience the Gulf the way locals do. USCG-certified, born-and-raised captains share hidden sandbars, dolphin playgrounds, and the Skyway Bridge’s dazzling light show from the comfort of a spacio...
Captains like Jason, Dylan, Paul, and their crews consistently earn high praise for being knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely attentive. Wildlife sightings are a real highlight, with dolphins and even manatees making regular appearances. The sandbar stop at Shell Key is a crowd favorite, and the Skyway Bridge light show adds something special to evening cruises. Crew members like Lexy stand out for keeping the energy up with great music and a welcoming vibe throughout. A few things worth knowing before you book: parking at Gulfport Marina is tight, so arriving at least 30-45 minutes early is a smart move. Bring a jacket for sunset and evening trips since it can get breezy once the sun drops. Some reviewers have noted occasional cancellations without advance notice, so it's worth double-checking your booking closer to the date. That said, the overwhelming majority of guests leave genuinely happy and many come back for a second trip.
We had SO MUCH FUN for my friend’s bachelorette on the Fourth of July!! Music was awesome, the captains of the boat were awesome, and the sandbar was so fun with all the games and floats they provided. This exceeded my expectations!! Can’t wait to come back
