Just book it!

Our family had a great time! This cruise is perfect for all ages! It had rained during the day, but we still saw an amazing sunset! We had a beautiful evening- Paul and Hannah were amazing!~ kind, attentive, and funny! Sand dollar island was so peaceful. We took a trip under all of the bridges, got a little history lesson and some fun facts! If you're on the fence, just book it, and grab a chocolate coconut water on the boat! It was yummy! Thank you both for an amazing night! Loretta enjoyed herself : )

HANNAH IS THE GOAT

Hannah was amazing. Whatever they are paying her isnt enough!! She is the boat crew, bartender, and photographer! She was really great as well as the captain. But seriously shout out to Hannah!!! She rinsed off all of our feet as we were getting on the boat after stopping by the island. Awesome woman for real!!!!

Birthday/Anniversary with Coastal Cruises

We had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday/anniversary with Coastal Cruises. Dalton and Alex were great hosts. No sunset due to clouds and no dolphins but it was fun looking for sand dollars on the island and learning about the beautiful bridges. Thanks. We'll be back.

Operator response
