All sales are final. Cancellations, refunds, and rescheduling are not allowed. Customer-initiated rescheduling costs $100 and is not allowed within 14 days, except for unsafe weather conditions or mechanical issues. The operator may modify reservations if the boat is unavailable or conditions are unsafe.
Wear a swimsuit or clothing suited to your outing, shoes that can get wet, and a hat or baseball cap. Bring sunglasses, a thin quick-dry towel, snacks, and any needed first aid supplies. Use non-spray sunscreen only; do not bring oils or zinc products.
Confirm at booking whether your party includes children under 6.
Gratuity is not required, but the operator suggests a 15% to 25% tip for your sunset cruise. Bring cash if you would like to tip.
Captains Lane, Jeremy, and the rest of the crew here have built a strong reputation for making people feel genuinely looked after on the water. Tours range from dolphin and sandbar excursions to a pub crawl that somehow manages to be fun even in a rainstorm. Guests consistently mention knowledgeable guides who share local history, take photos, and never rush the experience. Wildlife sightings, including manatees, sharks, stingrays, and dolphins, come up again and again, suggesting the captains know exactly where to go. Repeat bookings tell their own story, with several families already planning a third or fourth trip. The booking process gets praised as smooth and accommodating, and the relaxed, unhurried pace on the water seems to resonate with most travelers. A few one-off complaints exist in the reviews, but they read as isolated and don't reflect the overwhelming pattern here. For a day on the water around Anna Maria Island, this crew is hard to beat.
Crystal’s AMI Boat tours was great! This was our first time on the island and we decided to book a sunset cruise the first night we were there. We’re so happy we did! Captain Lane was very accommodating, friendly and informative about all things AMI related! We had a relaxing boat ride and saw a beautiful sunset. Captain Lane was also able to give us great recommendations for restaurants and other things to do while we visited. I would highly recommend adding this to your itinerary if you’re visiting AMI! You won’t regret it!
