5-Star Review for The Salty Mermaid - Clearwater Beach, FL…read more I celebrated my 50th birthday with 15 of my closest friends on a 3-hour sunset party cruise with The Salty Mermaid, and it was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Captain Tony and First Mate Nick were fantastic--friendly, professional, and made sure we had the best experience possible. We loved being able to hook into the sound system and play our own music, which set the tone for an amazing evening of dancing on the deck (and yes, even on the pole!). Despite the chilly weather, we still got to jump in the water for a bit, which was such a fun touch. One of the best parts? They allowed my friend to decorate the boat before we arrived, so it felt personalized and festive. We brought drinks and snacks aboard, and the crew made sure everything went smoothly. It wasn't a great night for the sunset but the vibe was pure celebration. If you're looking for a unique, fun, and memorable way to celebrate any occasion, I HIGHLY recommend The Salty Mermaid. It was truly a great day out on the water, and I can't wait to do it again! Maureen Vicari

We brought our food and drinks and there was enough storage on the boat for all of our stuff. Our captain navigated us well and took us to the best spots to see dolphins and a nice quiet private beach. Then he showed us the perfect spot to stop and take a ride on the slide. The whole process was seamless and the experience was great. I highly suggest you book with them!

I was very pleased with how well Captain Randy communicated and provided additional insight. Upon closer to the time for our day I had a follow up conversation with Cassie who provided even more information that brought comfort not only to me but my guests as well. 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.

After a quick safety briefing we were on our way to watch one of the most beautiful sunsets ever. The ship was equipped with a bunch of beanbags to lounge on and we had plenty of room to relax. As an added bonus we were escorted back to the dock by a small pod of dolphins. An absolutely amazing trip from start to finish! Bring your favorite wine and have a great time like we did.

On previous vacations to Clearwater Beach we would always see this schooner out in the sunset and…read morejoked that the city paid them to go out for beautiful sunset pictures. On our last visit I looked it up and saw that it was actually an excursion that we could go on! So before our last trip to Clearwater I booked us tickets to go on Schooner Clearwater. It was a beautiful evening although it was overcast and no beautiful sunset, we still enjoyed the experience. My suggestion is to take grab the beanbag chairs on the side where you board. These seats face beach as you're heading out and face the sunset on the way back. The opposite side faces the water on the way out and the beach on the way back, so you kind of lose the best views. You are allowed to bring a couple canned drinks (alcohol) with you that they put on ice (no glass).

The new address was a 25 min drive. They told us to get there 30 min ahead of reservation time, which was 9am. The boat and person didn't arrive until 905. I have asked numerous time for a partial refund as I booked for 6 hours but could only do 4 when it was further away. I get no response.

The commentary from the staff was also very informative and helped make the trip even more enjoyable. We would definitely do this again on future visits to the area.

After we established a DJ and got our coolers and bags settled, we were off! We saw tons of dolphins, the weather was beautiful, and we peppered Dylan with questions about the boat, about his career, about the area. After we turned back towards the marina, Dylan started to experience some issues with the boat. It was sputtering and stalling -- it seemed as though it wasn't getting fuel through the fuel line. Dylan kept his cool and tried to troubleshoot, and then decided to throw out an anchor and get out of the channel for safety's sake. We were all in great spirits and nobody was worried about anything. We felt completely safe and nobody was hard-pressed to return by a certain hour. He managed to work it out and we returned about 15-20 minutes later. (We thought it was an extra bonus!) We applaud his professionalism and his ability to keep his cool. Would recommend this tour to ANYONE!

We'll definitely be doing it again, I think I'll take the little girl with us the next time, she loves to fish too and it will be an awesome experience for her. Didn't care to much for the barracuda that jumped and ate half of my fish that I was reeling in but still an awesome time.
