Sweet Escape Charters

(3 reviews)

Downtown St. Petersburg

Our family used this charter to commemorate my mother's passing and it was a wonderful experience…read more The staff was very empathetic and accommodating. 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.

Clearwater Beach

Great experience from start to finish. The boat is spacious and the service is great. We…read moreexperienced the double decker boat with the slide. 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 had the wonderful opportunity to experience The Buccaneer Funship Boat. Excellent communication…read moreand Spectacular service from the start of booking this experience. 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.

South St. Petersburg - Edit

I reserved the princess Yacht Charter to celebrate my Birthday on…read moreMay 30th. The yacht was supposed to include the following features and amenities: * 4 staterooms, 3 bathrooms * Covered aft deck seating for 6. * Air-conditioned interior cabin with dining table seating. * Large sun pad on the bow for sunbathing. * Bathrooms equipped with Vacu-Flush toilets. * Standing shower in the bathroom. * Minibar, ice maker, 43" Smart TV. * High-speed Wi-Fi connection. * Bluetooth 1200w JL Audio stereo system. * 21.5kw generator providing full ship power for electronics and more. * Underwater Jets. * Inflatable cabana. * Galley. * Smart Cast TV. * Satellite. * Wi-Fi. * A/C and Heat. * Watermaker. * Icemaker. * Three full bathrooms with showers. * Toiletries. As listed on the website. Unfortunately, upon arrival at the yacht, there were numerous issues, including: * No electricity in any outlets on the boat as the generator was not functioning (we could not charge our phones or plug in anything. * The Tv would not even turn on for us to use the smart cast TV. * 2 out of 4 staterooms were taped shut with a handwritten note that says, "Crew Only" * No Wi-Fi at all (there was a Wi-Fi router, but it was not operational). * The Bluetooth 1200w JL Audio stereo system was NOT functioning (which meant there was NO MUSIC throughout the 70 ft yacht. We found a battery-operated Bluetooth speaker that was intentionally left there because he knew the full speaker system was not working but did not inform me). * Only 1 bathroom out of 3 promised was accessible due to the staterooms being locked. * NO ACCESS TO A SHOWER AT ALL AS IT WAS INTENTIONALLY LOCKED in the one bathroom that was unlocked * No Blow-Up cabana * There were NO WATER JETS AT ALL (We did not even see the water jets until we were leaving the boat and one of the crew members opened a locked stateroom door and we saw that the water jets were inside that locked stateroom.) I promptly contacted Shane to voice my concerns, as the situation was unfair to both me and my guest. We had anticipated enjoying all the amenities, yet not even a shower was accessible in the bathroom. Shane mentioned that the amenities were not guaranteed, but he never informed me prior to booking that these features would be unavailable for my reservation. When I confronted him about his website not indicating that these rooms and amenities were not guaranteed, he immediately went to amend the wording on the site concerning the locked rooms. He then texted me to say we couldn't use the water jets because we were consuming alcohol, despite the fact that not everyone on the boat was drinking. Additionally, we were not offered the chance to use them before we started drinking. I had to argue with him about my security deposit, which I eventually did receive back. I would never recommend booking with this man if you are a Black person. They seemed overly fearful of having us on the yacht, locking away everything, including the shower water jets and cabanas that were advertised on the site. There were no functioning electrical outlets, no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, nothing. This is truly an ultimate SCAM charters.

Where do I start...well, first of all I have been yachting with Ultimate YachtLife Charters since…read more2017 shortly after I moved to Florida. The owner of this fleet keeps these boats in top condition, and also keeps sea bobs and a huge lily pad to have fun on your trip. He also chooses the most knowledgeable, safe, and laid back captains to host your experience. If you aren't from here I can't recommend enough to take a look at Tampa Bay from the water like this. It is always a memorable time and totally worth the money. Don't waste it on jet skis or silly boat tours. This is truly the best way to experience Tampa Bay, in affordable luxury.
