I would highly recommend booking the clear kayak tour! It was hands down the best experience. We saw so many dolphins, birds (my favorite was “Mark” and his family), and even a manatee! Our guide, Chris, was very knowledgeable and really made it a fun experience! I would definitely ask for him!!

The boat had the the perfect number of people. Not over crowded. We all were able to get great pictures and saw many dolphins. Best boat around! The ticket price was well worth it.

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.

Worth Every Penny!

Had a great time on this boat ride.  Captain made a special effort to find Dolphins and our grand children loved it.  The crew was very helpful. Would recommend for sure!!!

Great

We saw  dolphins jumping and having fun. The Captain and his first mate kept us entertained. 
I have already told several people this was the best boat trip in the area and to go for sure!! 

Dolphin Adventure

We went 3 years ago in June, this year we were there in April. Last time we had 5 runs with a lot of dolphins following the boat. This year we only had 1 run with dolphins following, at least the grandkids saw a lot of dolphins right at the boat on the 1 run. Can’t blame the boat captain, it’s just they are not that active. It was a good trip anyways

We had six guests so a full bit, enjoyed the trip.

Full house

I can’t reach it my family of six decided to book a sunset cruise for the first time in our 20 years of going to Redington Beach. We met our captain, Roger at the marina. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! It was great learning about the area And learning about the different wildlife. It was also great to see the magnificent homes and hear stories about how the area had developed through the years. We went on a perfect night where there were no clouds, and there was no wind. The sunset was incredible and we even saw the green flash :-) it’s a trip to remember for my parents and my family! We will definitely be booking another with Captain Roger in the future !

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!

I enjoyed my daytime cruise on the Starlite Sapphire. It lasted 2 hours as opposed to 2.5. The ship has a  lovely dining area on the bottom and a nice area upstairs to catch some rays and see the beautiful ocean. (maybe even some dolphins!) Restrooms were spacious and clean for a ship. The drinks were good and there was a nice selection. I could do without the running commentary, but I may have signed up for that without knowing, and I know some who would enjoy it, so I think that’s personal preference. I enjoyed the music. The flatbread appetizer was good. I enjoyed the bread and oil dip. My chicken Caesar salad was a nice portion and tasty. My friends did not enjoy the beef burgundy. The staff were friendly and inviting.  Overall, an enjoyable experience. Thank you!

Starlite Sapphire

Everything was GREAT but there was something EXTREMELY SPECIAL about Stephanie and her voice is so angelic!!!!  Waitress food and drinks was GREAT AS WELL
