Beautiful sunset sailing, but some may see this as a party boat

The sunset sail was beautiful and enjoyable. The music was great; we did see dolphins, and on the day of our sail, the sunset and weather were perfect! The captain and crew were very knowledgeable and friendly, and their instructions were very clear. I only have two gripes about our tour, and one has nothing to do with the company. 1) The rum punch on board had very little rum. It was pretty much juice and that was disappointing. But lesson learned: I wouldn't buy it again. 2) There may be some on board that could interrupt the enjoyment of the peaceful sailing experience. On my voyage, several people clearly had too much to drink beforehand, ruining what should have been a romantic and/or pleasant family experience. That's it. I would definitely sail with them again, but I would lower my expectations of the rum and be prepared for those who might be mistaking this sunset sail as a party boat.

Bad

Bad bad, we got stuck in traffic we called to let them know that we were going to be 2 minutes late and they couldn’t do anything about just for two minutes late. Refund? No, because it was a third party company and they didn’t do anything. We got there and the lady was so rude. Very disappointed

Operator response

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed. We completely understand that unexpected traffic can happen, but unfortunately, we are unable to hold a sold-out boat of 60+ guests for those arriving late, as that would also be unfair to the other guests who arrived on time. Our check-in time was 5:15–5:20 PM, with the boat departing at 6:00 PM. We received your call at 5:40 PM, about 20 minutes after the requested arrival time, letting us know you were still on the way. You arrived at our kiosk around 6:06 PM, but please keep in mind there is also a 5–10 minute walk down the dock to reach the boat, which would have delayed the departure even further. All of these details are clearly provided in our trip information. We truly wish we could accommodate every situation, but departure times must be followed to ensure the best experience for ALL of our guests. We truly appreciate your understanding.

Sunset sail with many dolphins

What a great evening. Booked a two hour sunset cruise with Paradise Adventures. Captain Mike took us out into the Gulf where we saw dozens of dolphins. The he and his crew of Lamar and Sunny raised the sails as we went east towards Tyndall AFB. We came back to watch the clearest sunset i’ve ever seen in the Gulf. Great sail and greater crew. Cost included a free drink. Least expensive in town. Highly recommend Paradise Adventures.

Operator response

Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you had such an amazing sunset sail! We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon! 🌅
