Was in town for business staying at The Compass Hotel Anna Maria and was able to book a Sunset Cruise with Bud’s Charters which is directly outside of the hotel at Safe Harbor Pier 77. I was able to book last minute as I wasn’t sure about the weather. I’m SO THANKFUL I did bc this was an amazing experience. It was peaceful and full of surprises. Bud was able to get dolphins to play and spotted a manatee right where we were watching the sunset, the videos and pictures will never do it justice. You just have to experience it and I would encourage anyone to do so. Captain Bud is a knowledgeable and skilled man on the water…you’re in safe hands. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
