We actually got to see a lot of dolphins which surprised me....they came right up to the boat and everything. The guys that run this boat tour were extremely friendly and super helpful. We actually showed up about an hour early because we weren't sure if it would be busy and they helped us pay for parking because the meter wasn't working. Plus.... free ice cream! read more

I got a Groupon to do this. Totally worth it with the Groupon. We saved a nice amount for 2 adults and 1 kid. The staff was nice. They took their time for sure to try and find us dolphins. We were definitely on the boat for the full hour. We saw maybe 8 dolphins. For something different, totally recommend this. The kids were excited. read more

This was so much fun! We saw lots of dolphin and got to eat ice cream (included with ticket price) while doing so. They let you get up and walk around the boat for the best view and have a bathroom on board. The staff were super friendly and made it a fun tour. They went around helping take pictures for guests. It was an awesome experience! read more

Clearwater Fun Boat - Dolphins seen on the tour - Boat Tours Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Great fun with so many dolphin sightings the entire ride basically. The captain and his staff were so accommodating, welcoming and friendly. They serve Häagen-Dazs ice cream or Popsicles and a cash bar. Fun dancing music and flashing lights after the dolphins made you want to party all night. They took their time to make sure we have the full dolphin experience. There must've been 10 or more dolphins around us for most of the time. Sunset is spectacular and a must see. The staff will even take pictures of your groups. Restroom and board and plenty of comfortable seating with tables. read more

4 stars for the Clearwater fun ice cream dolphin tour boat - you get one free cup of haagan daas ice cream which is very good, can buy drinks on board for very reasonable prices as well. The tour itself is good and it's almost guaranteed you'll see at least one dolphin and if not you get a free visit for another time, I only saw 2 dolphins on the tour sadly but was still cool to see. You'll also see famous celebrity mansions on the tour such as Hulk Hogan's, Crayola family & Tom Cruise's penthouse. I'd recommend if you're in the area but there are tons of boat tours to choose from so take a look at all their offers. read more

First off captain John and first mate were the absolute worst. They didn't put out the portable steps and you had to actually jump into the boat my husband almost fell in the hole in between the dock and the boat. The name of the boat ride IS ICE Cream Dolphin Cruise, they provided no ice cream and we also didn't see any dolphin's. captain John went back to the dock 20 mins earlier then scheduled. This was a JOKE!!!! worst tour my family and myself ever took, I will never use this company again. read more

We stopped at the marina hoping to catch a sunset cruise and found Clearwater Fun Boat. The cruise was very comfortable with complimentary Hagen daz ice cream. We started with a tour of some of the mansions in Clearwater, then out into the Gulf. The sunset was beautiful and we saw so many dolphins! Highly recommend this sunset cruise! read more

The journey began with a sketchy trip down a wobbly stool to the boat. After we were seated it became obvious that the assistant was either dumber than a bag of hammers or he was higher than a kite. Everything that came out of his mouth was either stating the obvious, or didn't make any sense. "They call it One Tree Island because it only has one tree" They then took us out into the ocean in a boat that was questionable with regard to its seaworthiness. Combine this with all the people flocking to the front of the boat instead of staying in their seats made it less than enjoyable. It became a little concerning when the USCG MH-60 flew around us a couple times. That rescue swimmer would be living a nightmare if that thing would happen to turn over. The views were beautiful but because I had a small child with me, I was not enjoying the trip because I didn't trust the captain. I would really look at other tours. read more

While vacationing in Clearwater we decided to go on a dolphin/sunset ride with the fun boat crew. So many boats to choose from but we had a magnificent time!!! For a family of four it came to around 77$. They gave us complimentary ice cream and wine for the entire family! The boat ride was about an hour and half long, we had an awesome captain and co captain onboard. I can't remember their names but they were very friendly and welcoming. We had a tour around the entire island and learned some interesting facts. We laughed and smiled the entire ride.. the captain was very laid back and funny. Unfortunately we did not see any dolphins but nonetheless watching the sunset was absolutely amazing! We got to see a one of a kind boat owned by country singer, passed by Tom cruises home, the owner of Outback Steakhouse, and the makers of crayola. If you're in town and deciding which boat ride to take i highly recommend this crew! P.s. don't ask to ride closer to the sunset to get a better picture ! (inside joke) read more

I suggest the seascreamer early during the day vs this. If you just want to feel the breeze of the ocean then this is a good boat. If you take the 5pm boat, don't expect to see many dolphins. Everyone was friendly....3 stars due to only seeing 3 dolphins read more

Clearwater fun boat was so much FUN! We got ice cream (they even had a dairy free option for my toddler!) and got to see dolphins. We got to see celebrity's houses and learn some history about the area. On the way back they cranked the music up and not one person was seated. Everyone was dancing! I'm a little disappointed that we weren't able to watch the sunset on the gulf, but they said the water was too rough that evening. I would definitely do the ice cream boat again in the future. read more

We really enjoyed our first dolphins out in the wild encounter! The captain & first mate were very friendly and shared a lot of interesting info not just about the dolphins but also about the Clearwater Beach area in general. The boat was clean, the music was great, the dolphins were adorable and not to mention the ice cream was delicious! We were out on the water for 1.5 hours and it was a perfect amount of time--well worth the money! They also have restrooms on board as well. Thanks Fun Boat, definitely one of the biggest highlights from our trip :) P.s. only thing I would maybe add to those interested is to bring a jacket or blanket if it's more cold/windy out that day like it was for us--luckily the crew had a few blankets on board that they let us use! read more

It was a fun boat tour, everyone got an ice cream Sunday! They had four flavors, strawberry, caramel, chocolate brownie and cookies and cream. On the boat they gave free water and had beer, wine and hard spritzer for purchase. The tour was about 1.5 hours they took us all around and we were lucky to find some dolphins. They swam right by the boat. They took us by some houses and explained who they belong to and out in the gulf. It was a very nice tour the captain and the first mate were funny and very nice. Definitely worth the money. read more

I had an hour to spare before dinner so I did the sunset ride to see if we could catch some dolphin sightings. They really pack the boat for this ride - so if you cherish your personal space, I would recommend touring another time. The tour began promptly and they gave us the ice cream right off the bat. Since they really try to sell the ice cream aspect of their tour to stand out from their competitors, I expected something more extravagant than mini Edy's cups but hey, ice cream is ice cream. Shortly after the ice cream distribution, we were off to explore the gulf! It was a scorching hot day so the breeze from the wind and the small mist from the ocean felt amazing. Our captain was very entertaining and had a lot of interesting fun facts about dolphins and the areas we were sailing by. We caught many glimpses of dolphins and it was overall a very fun excursion. If you're looking for a fancy ice cream sundae and a glamorous boat ride, this may not be for you but if you're in it for a very casual tour and some dolphin sightings, Clearwater Fun boat is a good pick! read more

It was a really amazing experience! We were able to see tons of dolphins and other sights! The boat was a bit shabby and they promised ice cream, but delivered hardly any. The service was great, and the employees were helpful, funny, and nice! It is an experience I would recommend, especially with little children. read more

This was worth the 45 min drive from st Pete. The captain took us around until we found a dolphin. Then he stayed in the area so we could keep watching it. read more

First time to Clearwater Beach and experience my youngest counted 44 dolphins. Great experience from beginning to end!

Great fun! Service was fantastic and Captain of boat was awesome. We saw dolphins and the Captain made sure we did get to see them. The tour was fun. Everyone should do this while in Clearwater. read more

Captain Josh was great! We saw lots of dolphins and enjoyed a nice ride around the harbor. It did rain on us as we went out and they didn't let down the plastic windows so we were soaked. The ice cream offered was a prepackaged Blue Bunny sundae which was nice but surprising a lot of plastic for a beach town concerned about ocean health. read more

Clearwater Fun Boat - Dolphins jumping on our tour. - Boat Tours Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

We went for the evening cruise and sighted occasional dolphins, nothing dramatic. They do start the cruise off with ice cream; ours were chocolate covered ice cream cones. Small bottles of cold water are nice during the cruise. Seeing the sunset while on the boat was great. read more

Had a fun time aboard the 'fun boat'. Took the 4:30 pm dolphin cruise and our cap was very informative about the dolphins and made sure to take us to spots where we could get some really nice pics of the dolphins. Also saw the million dollar houses and the Gulf of Mexico. The best part free ice-cream/beer!!! I had two teenagers with me and they had a lot of fun. The tour was an hour and a half. You can park at one of the metered spots and then for $2 you can buy a parking pass. read more

Wonderful and welcoming staff! I really enjoyed my trip with them. I can't wait to come back with the family.

Nice ride. Lots of kids and people standing blocking the view. Can't fix that even when I asked to please not block they won't move. Should they be directed to stay seated it would have been worth it. read more

Sunset dolphin ice cream tour ... Plus they have beer for sale! What more could you want? The whole family (angsty teens included) had a great time. We followed a pod of dolphins until everyone had plenty of pictures & videos, then out of the bay to the gulf for the awesome sunset. Guides gave entertaining commentary & info about the area and took whole family pix for anyone who wanted. All around a fun experience. read more

Absolutely amazing! The other boats called in and worked as a team to get a amazing show! The crew was amazing and absolutely great! I 100% recommended them. I can't wait to go again in the future! And even give parking passes for the time on the boat in the marina cheap! read more

Captain Ali and 1st mate Ivo were amazing. We saw dolphins within 10 minutes of pulling out of the dock. The kids had so much fun. They made my daughter's 13th birthday a day to remember. I can't thank you enough!! Fun for kids and adults!! Definitely recommended. read more

The boat was 15 minutes late. The Captain said it was because they had to go get gas and there was a long line, yet all the other tour boats in the area were on time. I had trouble getting my double stroller on the boat, the "Skipper" on the boat just stood there and watched me struggle The ice cream portion of this tour is what makes it different from the others and it was SO POORLY DONE! You get on the boat and Skipper dumps individual Edey's Ice cream cups (vanilla or chocolate) and drumsticks on the bar in the back and make everybody go and get one. No service, no toppings, nothing hospitable or special. On top of that, they charged me an extra $4.00 for my 2 year old to have ice cream, since she was free. I have no problem paying the extra for ice cream, but I do when you can get 1 of those Edey's @ Publix for $1.00! As far as a sight seeing tour, it was par. We saw dolphins, they pointed out the usual Clearwater stuff, Hogan's old house, Church of Scientology, etc. it was covered and a nice ride overall. We did not get any extra sailing time, even though the boat was late. At the end of it the skipper of course had to make a dig for tips. I live in Clearwater, I did this because I have young children and I thought this would be a great experience for them. It was not. There's too many other fantastic things to do in the area than to waste your time with this. I wouldn't recommend this to my friends. I think they'd be better off getting ice cream at one of the many spots on the beach and taking a different boat ride. read more

The ice cream was the best part!! Its a cool inexpensive way to see the coast. I would do this again. It was really fun.

This company does not prioritize passenger safety. Our tour guide and boat driver made the decision to remain on the water in a very bad thunder and lightning storm. No safety instructions were provided. No mention of the life preservers ever occurred. Passenger safety is the last thing that they care about. read more

Awesome time with the family!! We had a blast!! The big kids (adults) loved it as much as the little kids. Ice cream was a perfect treat after dinner. We saw at least 5 pods of dolphins playing, as well as tons of beautiful birds! Josh was a great guide and Ollie the first mate was so much fun! Definitely an awesome boat ride with great music and family fun! #Icecreamforlife #icecreamsoldiers read more

Great time and boat captain for a fun sunset adventure! Spotted plenty of dolphins along the ride and enjoyed the delicious free ice cream! If you aren't feeling up for ice cream, they will let you sub an alcoholic beverage! Very nice tour. Highly recommend. read more

Captains were great, nice time on boat. Unfortunately its hit or miss with dolphins as we only seen 1 in the beginnjng

Missed the 4:30 pm dolphin tour, decided to take the sunset tour. We were able to see a few dolphins, and an amazing sunset. First time experience for my daughters. And They loved the ice cream. If you're in the Clearwater area, I would highly recommend this crew. read more

We had booked this tour about 2 weeks prior, and were really looking forward to it. We drove quite a distance, and parked in the marina and went to check-in as instructed. This was 1 hour before departure, and we were not warned of any issues. We paid for a parking pass and were asked to return 15 min prior to departure to board. When we did this we were then told, at this late stage, that the trip may be cancelled as they only had 5 people booked and needed 6. We even offered to pay for 1 extra person between us, so the trip could run, but this was refused. Obviously the boat owner does not care about disappointing people at the last minute, if we had known we could maybe have made the 3pm trip. Having seen their boat I would not book again with them anyway, there are much better options at Clearwater Beach, We took an alternative tour with a helpful and professional operator. read more

Great sunset cruise in Clearwater Beach. Captain and staff were great. You get a free beer or ice cream for every person on the boat! Great value. Book with them now! read more
