    Dolphins seen on the tour
    Riley L.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Sunset!

    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)

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Clearwater FUN Boat tours are ALWAYS a pleasure!!! Worth every reasonable penny.

    I've taken several tours with Clearwater Fun Boat. The icecream boat is pure joy for the kid at heart and younger ones as well. The crew is friendly, fun, entertaining and well informed about the area, habitat and local history.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    PERFECTION!! They promised sunset and dolphins and delivered on both. Best sunset I've ever seen!…read moreFirst dolphin I've ever seen! I will say the dolphins were really front loaded at the start but then the gorgeous sunset was on the back end. We loved how you could bring drinks on board; would suggest bringing bottled margarita from Costco. The vibes were immaculate in every single way. We had Chris and Gabby who were so sweet and so funny. Gabby took amazing photos of our group and was so nice about it! Please do this when you're in Clearwater!

    My daughter and I came to Clearwater from Vegas for the weekend…read more I was looking into boat excursions with dolphin sightings and a visit to a sandbar for an affordable price. I found Fins up on yelp but with only one review (I believe they are a newer excursion), so I initially was hesitant to book because I was not sure what to expect. Glad I took the chance with them to provide us an unforgettable experience. Mark and Deanna were great! The boat was awesome and provided plenty of options for shade for me since on day one at the beach I got a bad sunburn, Deanna and Mark were super accommodating, Mark offered extra sunblock and Deanna gave me advice on where to sit on the boat for the least amount of sun exposure (since I did not want to cancel the excursion) They also provide Ice, so BYOB! The trip was a little over an hour an a half, we saw quite a bit of Dolphins on the way to one tree island to do our shell collecting, before heading back to the marina. I definitely recommend trying them out if looking for a dolphin excursion for an affordable price with an awesome crew. I think I spent 58 dollars for the two of us, plus tip, obviously tips are not required, but, I'm sure they're appreciated!! Thanks again Mark and Deanna!!

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.

    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
