Overview

Join us on our brand new 45ft Custom Catamaran for an evening like no other! A scenic trip out the Intracoastal and along Shell Key Preserve provides us ample opportunities for dolphin sightings. Once stopped at Shell Key search for that perfect shell, and watch the sun kiss the horizon over the Gulf of Mexico. On our return trip, we’ll stop by the Pinellas Bayway Bridge for an amazing view of an "infinity of Cathedrals" tunnel effect...think photo ops!

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on St. Pete Dolphin Watching and Island Sunset Cruise?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
