This sailing trip was absolutely fantastic!! Wonderful, friendly, competent crew!! Beautiful scenery, excellent adventure!
Amazing trip out in the gulf. We had a beautiful afternoon on the water. Super crew, very knowledgeable and friendly!! Definitely will be back with friends.
Mike the captain was awesome. Plenty of water aboard but otherwise BYOB. Sights were amazing. Crew was knowledgeable and professional.
It was totally enjoyable, we were late and they were kind enough to call and wait for us, the guys were very personalable
Extremely good company to use for this experience. Originally we had booked a day time cruise, but then realised it would be too hot. Popped into the office the day before and they very kindly let us change to the sunset cruise. The crew were very friendly, spent time talking to everyone. They provided free bottled water, however, you are able to take your own drinks and food on board. The sunset was just beautiful and to top it off we saw dolphins on the way back. Fabulous trip.
Friendly crew who had lots of information about the Gulf and the area. It was extremely relaxing and peaceful.
It was a great day to be out on the water. We saw dolphins at play, a parasailor, and lots of other boats and water toys out there, but it was lovely when we got out away from the majority of others, with just the sounds of the water and the sails flapping. Captains Mike and Shane were informative, fun, and constantly aware of the shifting needs of the schooner, immediately adjusting sails and steering when necessary. Definitely recommend and would love to go out again if we're ever in this area again!
It was an awesome afternoon. Our guides were so nice and excellent at our heir job, great sailors. The trip was chill, great conversation and great sailing. We highly recommend!
Wonderful and friendly staff. The sail was absolutely perfect. It was a terrific way to spend an afternoon. Worth every penny.
Super cute little shop where you can purchase all the things you may have forgotten - like sunglasses or sunscreen. Sailboat was beautiful and the crew knew how to be friendly and not intrusive. Great tunes playing the entire time. Our trip had lots of wind and high waves, which is great for us and the crew. Fun time sailing in Florida.
What a fabulous boat ride with friendly captains and amazing views. We wanted a laid back ride with views. Comfortable and perfect for a laid back afternoon
Scenic trip from bay to gulf. Dolphins were active. Wind was not. All in all, a very enjoyable trip with captain Mark and Shane.
Excellent crew and staff. The weather unexpectedly turned when we just started out on the water and we were unable to sail. The company handled the entire situation appropriately and professionally.
Crew was super fun and knowledgeable. They made sure we felt comfortable and enjoyed adventure. Would do it again
Great way to spend the afternoon! Very relaxing and fun to see the area from the water. The boat, Captain Mike and Shane were awesome. You won’t regret your booking.
Comfortable, friendly staff, good music. Enjoyable sailing day. To see the coast line and go through John’s Pass under the draw bridge was a treat.
Great value! Views were amazing and crew was outstanding!! If you’re in Treasure Island, this is a must!! Captain Richie and crew were awesome!!!
Relaxing trip! Captain Richie and his crew were very kind. Saw a few dolphins along the way. Coolers available for your own drinks....they supply water:) Others brought lunches to eat on the trip. Bring a light coat if under 70 degrees! Beautiful weather made it the perfect day! Thanks!
This was the coolest, most peaceful cruise I’ve ever been on. The Captain, Richie, and Mike were full of knowledge about the area and sea life. As an extra bonus, we got to see dolphins! I would definitely recommend this cruise to you!
It was amazing, fun, and peaceful! Ritchie and Mike were our crew and they are super cool! Honestly, the best cruise we’ve been on. I originally picked this because it is a schooner and I knew my husband would love it, and he did! Getting out on the water and letting the breeze take us where it wanted was a unique experience for us. We also saw a few dolphins which was just an extra perk. If you’re considering this type of cruise, do it. You won’t regret it!
Captain Richie was very knowledgeable and friendly! He made it a great experience for everyone. We had a lot of fog in some areas, but he diverted to other parts of the island to keep us safe all while having a good time in the sunshine!
This was our first time on a sailboat. We loved it! It was relaxing and just what we needed to help us unwind. We had so much fun! Thank you so much for the jokes, the anecdotes and the joy. Highly recommended!
Relaxing. Talking with others on board. The Captain and crew were great. Pointed out points of interest. Our entire family really enjoyed. We have been on this boat several times.
This trip was amazing. Ritchie and Quin were very friendly and showed us a lot of dolphins and we learned about the area. Excellent time, highly recommend.
Wonderful sailing experience- crew very attentive. Saw many dolphins right next to the boat. Once out in the gulf we got to sail - no motoring!
Never happened. They said we were the only ones who signed up. Said they needed 6 people to go. Did not notice that in the site when I booked. As an avid sailor I was really looking forward to an excursion on a real sailboat. It was the absolute main reason I chose Treasure Island for our getaway weekend. Bummer
The learning experience of what makes sailing works . It was a fun relaxing experience. Definitely would try it again
Had a great day on the water with Captain Richie and Kendra. Would definitely recommend to anybody visiting the area. Looking forward to coming back.
We had a great time. The crew was very engaging and informative. The sailboat experience was very safe. We got quite away out into the Gulf of Mexico.
Beautiful experience with a great Captain and mate. Lots of interesting sights from the water. We did a combo of motoring and sailing. Visitors often forget the importance of an experienced and knowledgeable Captain. We will be back
It was a beautiful day for a lovely sail from Treasure Island into the Gulf. The boat was spacious & comfortable. The crew was friendly, professional & able to answer all of our sailing queries. We even met another couple that we’ll see again!
Great experience, the crew was friendly and ver professional, very comfortable, the check in process is great, safe free parking
It was a beautiful day for sailing! The guys were great and made the experience fantastic!! This will be a yearly happening for us. Next year the sunset sail!!
Richie the captain was more than happy to tell us about the area and about sailing the waters of Tampa Bay. The sail was very pleasant and enjoyable!
The wind in the bay! The crew were fun to talk with. Learned a lot about the area and Where good sailboat water and docks were.
Capt. Richie is the best, we have been out three times in February, had fabulous sails, great sunsets (which they can’t control) lively crew stories, small group, ampul room, great sail!
Knowledgeable crew. Relaxing experience. Great way to see coastline and dolphins. Nice break from everything. Just relax and feel the breeze
Sleepy sailing experience. Very little explanation on sights and didn’t feel much wake. There are probably better sailing cruises in Tampa Bay.
The crew was very informative and entertaining. Highly skilled and would recommend to anyone. Very enjoyable.
Awesome sail! We totally enjoyed this beautiful sailboat. . We enjoyed our sail with 2 other people, who shared their Prosecco and charcuterie. The crew made us feel so welcome and shared many stories and important facts about the are area. A family of dolphins scampered around the boat several times. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone. It’s a small sailboat, seats about 20 people, which makes for a cozy atmosphere. Excellent views! Can’t wait to come back.
This was a good time. The sky was clear and the breeze was lighter than I would have liked. So, we mostly motorsailed. Still, it was a great day and totally worth it.
A beautiful night to go for a sail with a great crew. Thank you Dave and Shawn. May see you again soon 😊⛵️
Our sail got changed to sunset which was a benefit for us as we would have been in hot heat and then rain. Very enjoyable and relaxing sail
A beautiful day on the Bay! The crew was very knowledgable and great company. It was a perfect day for saling.
I booked this trip for my husband's birthday. He loves to sail, and we've taken several sailing tours on schooners, sailboats, and catamarans all around the US coast, Carribean, and Bermuda. . The boat looked great and had comfortable seats, but it's not really a sailboat. It's a steel replica of a schooner that very slowly moves along, mostly under engine power. We did eventually make it our into the Gulf but the boat is too heavy for the sails, and they are mostly just for looks. We barely made it to 2 knots. No tacking or flying over the water. This is more a go with the current kind of drifting tour. The crew was nice, but the vessel was not what we expected. They also advertised soda but only had water. The other family on our boat was disappointed also. The dad kept asking if the boat could go faster and the captain kept saying no, this is just a replica. This is all it does. If you want a nice leisurely float along the coast, this is for you.
Fun time and great crew. Went with my 2 daughters and they had a great time. Very relaxing an scenic.
The whole experience. We were a small group and the crew were very friendly and answered most of our questions.
The captain and his wife are so personable. Such a good thing to do if you have friends in town who want to go on the water. It was a beautiful day and they made the experience so much fun.
It was a great experience. I have lived in Pinellas county since 1975 and in Crystal Beach for past 25 years yet from the water got to see sights I rarely do. Love the Dolphins. Our captain and his first mate were wonderful.
