5.00I grew up on Sailboats as a kid, especially in Saint Andrews Bay. I prefer sailing to motorboats and this met all my expectations. I love the quietness of sailing and we saw many dolphins and even some deer. The music was a lot of fun and the crew were friendly and kind. Also, I felt very safe. Thank you for a fun experience.
Fun on the sun

5.00My family and I had an amazing time on the sunset cruise. We had ages 73 to age 8 aboard the ship! You won’t regret a trip out on the catamaran at sunset! We schedule the 6:15 cruise which was breath taking. We saw dolphins multiple times out in the ocean which is an amazing experience in itself. Throw the sunset on top of that, and you have had one heck of a show. The hosts, Chris, Audra, and Emma were awesome also! They made everyone comfortable and were very helpful! I highly recommend this!
Beautiful sunset!

4.00I would of given it a 5, but I didn’t see much of dolphins. We saw probably about twice in the sunset cruise. So, if you’re just chilling and enjoying the cruise, you will love it. The dolphins were far, and barely touching the surface. The view of the sunset was spectacular though. Would recommend checking out the area there . They had live music, about two stands, and a truck for food and beverages. There were ample areas to sit. As, well as something’s for the kids to play with. There is also washrooms on the boat, as well as where the area with the entertainment is.
Best money we spent in PCB.

5.00This was hands down the best experience and the best money we spent on our entire trip. The crew was passionate, extremely friendly, and went the extra mile to make sure you were comfortable and had a great time. Emma and Carter worked hard to make sure all the guests were taken care of while the Captain kept everyone entertained over the intercom. A trip well worth the money.
Paradise
