Starlite Cruises operates several different boats out of the St. Pete area, each offering a distinct experience. The Dolphin Racer tours, led by crew members like Captain Matt, JC, and Max, consistently earn rave reviews for up-close dolphin encounters and local knowledge shared along the way. The dinner cruises aboard boats like the Majesty and Calypso Queen are popular for special occasions, with standout staff members like Gary and Vinny frequently credited for elevating the experience. Food and service tend to be solid across the board, with dinner cruises offering a full seated meal at reasonable prices. A few guests have noted that the dining areas on some vessels can get warm, so grabbing a spot on an upper deck is worth considering if weather allows. Overall this is a crowd-pleasing outing that works well for birthdays, anniversaries, and family gatherings alike.
Had a great time on their dinner cruise! The server was the bomb. She had so many tables to take care of and all of which were indeed taken care of. I would not recommend their cocktails as they were all just sugary. The food was great and the sundeck view indeed delivered relaxing great views
