Clearwater Dolphin Cruise

Fun day!

No complaints at all. Tour guide was fantastic

Dolphin watch

Fun, plenty of space on boat, friendly crew, nice coverage of gulf, easy boarding. Was pressed for time because it was a little difficult to find parking, someone in the parking lot mentioned asking for a voucher to park. Other than that, a great time

We enjoyed the trip very much. The crew were personable and the others on the trip were as well

Mid day sail

We spent 2½ very relaxing hours on the water with easy tropical music. The other passengers nearby were very pleasant amd fun to talk to. 

We only saw 3 or 4 dolphins,  but that was okay.  Midday is not the best time to see them. 

By no means would I have wanted the captain to talk constantly, but a little information now and then about different places on the shore would have been interesting. 

All on all, a nice ship,  a lovely day cruise.

Beautiful relaxing time on the water

Such a nice trip for a beautiful day! The boat is lovely and the crew fabulous! I cannot wait to go again!

Excellent

Cruise was enjoyable.  Food was good and servers were very nice and attentive.  If it was an open air type cruise I would understand the heat, but when we were sitting at the tables in the air conditioning it was HOT.  Sweat dripping hot.  Past that, the views and were awesome. Especially seeing  the beautiful houses along the shoreline.  Standing on the deck on the way back we enjoyed the breeze and beautiful colors of the sky!

Dress Cool!!!

Mr Wesh

No issues at all! Everything was great! I'd definitely do it again.

A few friends and myself wanted to close out our trip with a cruise so I saw The StarLite Majesty on tripshock. We originally thought we were going to just do the cruise part as the dinner was optional... However we would've missed out for sure. We all got the filet which comes with a salad and desert at a very reasonable price. Great experience at a phenomenal price. I would highly recommend this as a great addition to any trip. Friendly staff, great food, great environment.  A++

Exceeded Expectations

What a wonderful daytime cruise! The staff, especially Salvador, our server was friendly and attentive. The food never disappoints. We had beef burgundy and  shrimp creole. Both were delicious! We will return with more friends and family to treat to a delightful day and meal on the bay.

Fantastic brunch

Everyone was very friendly and professional. Food and service was excellent. Beautiful day to spend a few hours with that special someone. Definitely return for dinner cruise!

Only bad part (not cruise peoples fault)the parking is HORRIBLE. Worse than Christmas at the mall. We arrived 45 mins early and nearly missed boarding.  Shame on City of Clearwater for not addressing this.  We ended up parking a 1/4 mile away in a retail parking lot.  If we didn't have handicap plates,we would have missed the boat (no pun intended). All available spots were 30 min only or tow away. 

So plan on offsite parking and trekking a 1/4 mile to take the cruise.

Well worth the money!

I had a wonderful time everything was great an will go again thanks a million

We were lucky to see a lot of dolphins up close to the boat, both in the bay and the ocean. The weather was nice and the captain found good wind to fill the sails. The first mate was very cool too! Overall a great trip, dolphins, sailing, and a beautiful sunset.

Nice evening

We had a very relaxing, nice time on the cruise. The captain and his mate were awesome . However, next time I will book in the winter months due to the evening rains. Unfortunately there was no wind at all and the sunset kind of sucked that evening! All out of the crew's control, of course! I'll definitely go again!

Sunset cruise

The sunset cruise was nothing less that extraordinary!  It was fun watching the captains control the sails and work as a team. They were attentive, without being over-the-top. They interacted with the guests, took pictures and answered questions. But they also gave the guests time to have their own intimate experience. There was ample time to watch the sunset and the cruise back to the marina was almost as spectacular as the ride to the gulf. The sun had set, the colors in the sky were amazing, and sailing by million dollar mansions was the cherry on top. I one-hundred percent recommend this experience.
