The catamaran exceeded our expectations and we would definitely use them in the future and would most definitely recommend their charter service.

I am extremely disappointed with how this charter from Sweet Escape Charters was handled…read more I received a last-minute text message informing me that my charter was canceled because the captain who held the required license for groups larger than six passengers "unexpectedly resigned." As a result, the company stated they could no longer legally accommodate my booking as originally planned. The message offered three options: reduce our group to six people, reschedule for a later date, or accept a refund. While I understand that staffing issues can occur, this explanation and solution are not acceptable given that this was a pre-booked, planned event that multiple people organized their schedules around. What is most frustrating is the timing and lack of proper contingency planning. A business offering group charters should not be in a position where a single staffing change results in last-minute cancellations or forced downsizing of paid bookings. This reflects poor organization and a lack of reliability. Because of this, I had to scramble last minute to salvage my birthday plans. What was supposed to be a chartered experience has now turned into a simple beach day with drinking games and making the best of a situation that should never have been handled this way. Overall, the experience was highly inconvenient and disappointing, and it significantly disrupted our plans. For a service that markets itself around special outings and experiences, this level of instability is not acceptable. I would strongly caution others against booking with Sweet Escape Charters unless you are comfortable with the possibility of last-minute cancellations and significant disappointment, especially for important events.

They provided a cooler with ice and water as well as numerous floats and shelling bags. The whole experience was relaxing and refreshing. Our captain for the day was Jordan and she was Spectacular with keeping us on time and showing us around. We did a 4 hour boat tour but were able to have time on the slide and visit two islands. Truly an unforgettable experience for families and groups alike. 10/10 will be booking again for a longer time. Thank you for providing a wonderful experience.

Unforgettable Day on the Water with Captain John!…read more We had the absolute best experience with Captain John from Beach Charters by the Bay! I had family visiting from out of town, including two kids (ages 12 and 8), and Captain John made sure our day on the water was nothing short of magical. From cruising over to secluded sandbars, to shelling treasures that thrilled the kids (and us adults too!), to spotting dolphins and manatees in their natural habitat -- every moment was unforgettable. Captain John was the perfect balance of fun and educational. He kept the kids engaged with fascinating facts about the sea life and local ecosystem while making sure we all felt relaxed and entertained. His kindness, patience, and professionalism stood out -- truly a gentleman and a total pro. The boat was comfortable, the vibe was easygoing, and the laughs were plenty. It felt like we had our own private piece of paradise. Thank you, Captain John, for helping us make memories that we'll treasure forever. If you're thinking about booking -- do it. You won't regret

Looking for a private "captain" close to our beach house, and that's how we found Greg. We saw dolphins within the first 10 minutes on the pontoon. :) After perching on the sand bar and getting off the pontoon to look for shells and sealife, that's when the fun for the family really started. Greg explained the different types of birds in the area, the type of shells we may find. The kids were absolutely enthralled (ages 13-24). Greg was so friendly, informative and just plain fun.
