Our guide Rick & Capt Sam gave us really good information. But Rick gave us history lesson about the town & about the environment. That was really great information! The Aneclote Key beach was really nice. I wish we could've stayed longer. I really enjoyed our tour. I recommend this tour if you happen to visit Tarpon Springs. Bring & put on sun block.

We were even called to insure we were on our way. Tour was fun, safe, and packed. Crew was funny, seasoned, knowledgeable, and responsible. We didn't spot dolphins on the way to the island, but crew ensured we saw them on the way back several times. We kinda stalked the dolphins (safely). All for an affordable $28 pp from a convenient location. Good time. I recommend.

They were very speedy cleaning up from the guests that just finished their charter and let us on a little early. Plenty of space for our group of 4 adults, definitely room for more. Loved that they had some snacks and drinks provided - such a nice touch, though we did bring our own since it was a birthday celebration. The cruise itself was great, gave us options of how we wanted it to go, and let us out to swim for a little. The wind wasn't in our favor so no full sailing BUT the weather was great and we were still plenty happy cruising on the water - even got a little extra time on the end. They were honestly great overall, checking in on us during the cruise from time to time while also just letting us be to enjoy ourselves. Highly recommend and would book again!

Jonas and Greg were the most hospitable hosts that made us a beautiful charcuterie tray for 6 people. Fresh cheeses, meats and fruits. They offered wine but but we decided we didn't need to drink. The ride to the Skyway Bridge was beautiful and the water and weather were all working in our favor. It was a relaxing ride and we saw a couple of pods of Dolphins. We felt we could reach out and touch them. As we got to the skyway and turned towards shore, the captain asked if we would like to sail, which we did for a while. It was spectacular. The catamaran was beautiful, clean, comfy and cozy. We were briefed on where to find the lifejackets and there was a small raft on the aft. I cannot say enough about this truly wonderful crew and Boat "Sweet Escape ". I highly recommend and will use them again! Thank you guys for a truly amazing time. My family was blown away.

We had friends visiting from the UK and it truly did not disappoint anyone. The captain and tour guide were fantastic, friendly and made the whole cruise enjoyable from start to finish. The views were beautiful and stopping at the little island during sunset felt absolutely magical. Watching the sky change colors over the water was something we will not forget. It was the perfect way to spend the evening and share a special Florida experience with friends. We highly recommend this cruise to anyone considering it. You will be very happy you did. Just a quick heads up - bring something a little warmer to wear for the ride back once the sun goes down, as it can get a bit chilly. We would definitely do it again
