Description

Join us on our brand new 45ft Custom Catamaran for an evening like no other! A scenic trip out the Intracoastal and along Shell Key Preserve provides us ample opportunities for dolphin sightings. Once stopped at Shell Key search for that perfect shell, and watch the sun kiss the horizon over the Gulf of Mexico. On our return trip, we’ll stop by the Pinellas Bayway Bridge for an amazing view of an "infinity of Cathedrals" tunnel effect...think photo ops!

Dolphin sunset cruise

We had the best experience with Justice and Hannah! Would 100% book again and would want to have them again! They made the experience so enjoyable and made us feel safe, at ease, and also contained a lot of knowledge!
