Our tours last between 1h15min- 1,5h.
If it looks like bad weather is coming, please still show up for your adventure! The Captain is continuously monitoring the weather situation and makes the decision on whether or not to cancel the trip at the time of departure. We sail in South Florida which is notorious for having extremely unpredictable weather conditions and many times it will be storming when you arrive but clear up just in time for departure. Fun boat trips will continue in light rain when it is safe to do so, please plan accordingly.
Yes, there is covered seating.
Weather permitting, we will go from Clearwater Bay through Clearwater Pass to the Gulf of Mexico. We will do our best to search for Florida favorite- Bottlenose Dolphins. They are very playful and love to show off around tour boats but on occasion will have a lazy day and so Dolphin sightings are not guaranteed with our tour. Our Captains and Mates will entertain you during the tour, pointing to celebrity mansions along the way and explaining about wonderful nature of Florida. After short lecture you can just kick back and relax while enjoying music from our brand new sound system. Everyone except babies will receive a delicious ice cream with each cruise..
Dress accordingly. Off season months may occasionally bring chilly weather and it is always cooler on the water. Sun block, sun glasses, sun hat, a camera and good mood! Also our crew works for tips which is always appreciated! Cash for chips and sodas although we can also charge a card.
