Sunset
Ken B.

My wife and I went on here for a sunset cruise and we were not disappointed. The views were amazing and the vibe was awesome. If you want to be close to the water and be able to move around the boat to see things and the sunset than this one is for you.

Sunset sail with a cool libation

What an awesome evening on this beautiful Catamaran! Great craft... crew... captain... crowd... and music. Perfect sunset cruise with awesome love music! This is a must do while in Clearwater Beach

Yellow Stick (Mast) is Kai Lani. Good luck getting out on her!

ABYSMAL EXPERIENCE. Despite having a booking set up months in advance to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary after being married on this Catamaran in 1993 we arrived at the dock hours before sailing and were told they had a Private Party they were taking out (we were basically ditched). NO APOLOGIES either. We'd called on several occasions to reconfirm our booking over previous months with ZERO REPLIES. Received auto emails to confirm our booking even after being nixed at the dock. Received a credit, which was nothing considering the hotel costs we'd incurred especially for this trip And a trip for the future which is basically worthless as apparently you can get ditched on a whim and it seems that others recently have had the same "ditched" experience. Terrible business practices an understatement. Would we recommend? NOT A CHANCE!

We definitely recommend the sunset cruise with live music! We had so much fun! Mike, Meghan and Tiffany were all so friendly!

We love the Kai Lani sunset cruise! It's our favorite "excursion" to bring guests from out of town. The crew is always friendly and offering to take your picture or serve a cold beverage. The views are amazing and it's smooth sailing!!

Sensational!!!!! Awesome experience. Incredible views. Remarkable staff. Live music and delicious cocktails. Looking forward to doing this again.

Sunset!

This tour was great! On Thursday there is live music. $25 drink wristband-4 tap beers, Chardonnay, Pinot gris, shooters (fireball, vodka, rum, etc), Bloody Mary's, and some canned beverages as well! Their sunset cruise is longer than the other tours, as we left before many of the other boats and returned at about the same time. Have been coming to the beach for 20 years and don't normally do the touristy things, but we would definitely do this again!

I have been on other day cruises and the Kai Lani Catamaran blows all of them away. Friendly staff! They made sure everyone had an awesome time. I would recommend this sailboat.

Mike S.

We very much enjoyed our cruise with the Kai Lani crew! They were very friendly and were great with our kids! Found some dolphins and some amazing sights around Clearwater! The deck hands were very friendly and accommodating to anything we needed. I highly recommend this tour!!!

My daughter and I were on vacation on Clearwater beach. We were looking for a fun relaxing evening. This could not have been more fun. Captain and first mate treated us like royalty. Highly recommend this cruise. I'm going to purchase a cruise for my son and his wife for Christmas.

I'm sure there are other fun tours in Clearwater, but Kai Lani was amazing. I was so overwhelmed with this being my first vacation since covid. This was the best way to wind down and enjoy a sunset. Great hosts, good music, fun vibes. My mom's side of the family is from Oahu and it took me right back there. I will be back

Duane H.

This is absolutely a great visit. The boat is exceptional and the crew is even more outstanding! Be sure to venture on this excursion as it is well worth it. Great time on Sundays as they also have live music while sailing!! During your adventure, don't be surprised to see dolphins or a manatee.

See all

The Sage Venue

(5 reviews)

SAVE YOUR MONEY!! STAY HOME!! My wife and I like to…read moresupport local talent and restaurants. We heard this place has a new owner so we decided to go. The evening was suppose to cost $37.50 a person. I paid $100 for both of us in cash and the owner, Vincent, who said he would bring the change to my table, NEVER brought it over. Instead he gave us some if his bottled pasta sauce. The meal was mediocre at best. The talent was worth it, but weeks later, I heard the owner stiffs the talent on multiple occasions. These kids work hard for their money, and I have zero tolerance for weasels like him! I have urged my friends to not support this place. You'll get better Italian food at Carrabba's!!

We chose The Sage (currently known as The Palazzo, still the same owner) in August 2013 because…read morethey rolled the venue cost and food cost together in one per-head rate, they allowed us to bring in our own hard liquor, and they added a dessert table (a supposed $500 value). The wedding coordinator, Christina, was very helpful in arranging for our needs. The total cost for 5 hours at the venue, 4 hours of open bar (beer wine, mixers, and soda) and food for 80 guests was roughly $7,700. The Sage (Palazzo) allowed us to make a $1,000 deposit and pay a monthly charge on my credit card so we would not have to pay the entire amount in one installment. During the time between August 2013 and November 2014, the venue would forget to charge my credit card. I would have to remind them to charge me so that my wife and I could afford the wedding. For a period in the early winter, they neglected to charge my card, so the payments went up accordingly. This was annoying because we had carefully budgeted for the wedding. Later they had credit card issues, so I had to send them checks. Periodically, I would need to inform them of the payments made and the balance. They did not keep very meticulous records. I sporadically received invoices, and they were often missing a payment. In May of 2014, we learned the coordinator, Christina, had left The Sage (Palazzo) when we tried to contact her. I cannot comment on how busy they were at this time, but from my personal point of view it would have been polite to let us know whom to be in contact with for any wedding issues. Our new contact, Ellie, had to get up-to-speed with us very quickly. She tried very hard to make sure everything was going smoothly. She informed us in either August or September that our previous agreement to bring in hard liquor could no longer be honored. The venue decided to tell us this at nearly the last minute. They said they could still do the open bar portion, but made no serious attempts to correct the situation until I sent them a scanned copy of the contract. On the day of the wedding, the venue looked very nice. The Sage (Palazzo) has a Mediterranean feel. There is soft lighting which made for an intimate setting. Overall, the ceremony went off very well. The acoustics were nice, and there was enough room for our 80 guests to sit comfortably and watch the ceremony. The Sage (Palazzo) opened the bar and served appetizers while my wife and I took pictures. We did not get a chance to enjoy the appetizers, but our guests said they were good. Our DJ did an excellent job as master of ceremonies throughout the night. I initially did not want a DJ, but he proved his worth. The dinner was adequate. My guests enjoyed their meal, but I thought the food was just so-so. Our free dessert table was... tolerable. It was a bit odd because there were desserts like cannoli near bowls of smarties. There was also a mixed bowl of skittles and M&M's. I have no idea why someone would mix those two. The dessert table was listed at $500, and I would have been upset if it were not a free addition. I brought home-brewed beer for my guests (which I cleared with the venue well in advance) and they served it during the reception. At one point, they claimed to have run out. It turned out they had just left half of it in the back. They also claimed to have run out of the Gentleman Jack, Kaluha, moderately-priced scotch, and Bailey's when we collected our liquor at the end of the night. I am not suggesting any impropriety, but I am curious why the most expensive liquors were gone (especially when only 2 or 3 guests mentioned drinking the Kaluha and Bailey's). My father-in-law called about this, but did not hear back. There was also an unpleasant smell during the reception that nobody could pinpoint. I have no idea what it was, but it was distracting at times. Synopsis: I think the people at the Sage (Palazzo) are nice. The atmosphere is enjoyable. Downtown Clearwater is a nice area with lovely beaches and affordable hotels. If we could go back in time, my wife and I would have chosen another venue. I cannot recommend this location to anyone planning a wedding. While it is convenient to have the food and venue costs lumped together, I do not feel like I was able to trust them to keep their financial records straight. I personally did not have a high opinion of the food or the way the wedding was coordinated.

First time here and I really liked it. The sound system is good and with the big screens, you can…read moresee the performers better. There are lots of food trucks and drink stations everywhere. They could use more restrooms like the Amphitheater in Tampa. The biggest downfall is parking. Ugh

I've been here for two shows this spring and I absolutely love it! This venue is run by Ruth Eckerd…read moreHall and they do a great job. It is easy to purchase tickets on their website, easy to enter and easy to find your seat (if you have a seat.) If you don't have a seat, the lawn area is not too huge so you wouldn't be too far away. They have plenty of bars and booths to get other beverages. I didn't have to wait behind more than 2 people any time I got a drink. The bathrooms are inside and air-conditioned and the line moves pretty quick because the stalls in the ladies room has signs so you can see what ones are open. I do think they could still have used a few more ladies stalls because as you see everywhere, there is a line for the women but not the men. Another cool thing is they have several food trucks and even ice cream vendors. I visited the keilbasa truck before one show and it was good. The food from the other vendors looked good too. I actually had food from the chicken and waffle truck before when tbey were at my nearby library so I know their food is good too. The one downside is that it is in downtown Clearwater and parking is spread out. However, if you are willing to walk you can find free or affordable parking. I personally would rather spend my money on a drink than parking so I look for deals and am not sharing my secrets. Also, downtown Clearwater only has like 3 restaurants nearby so that's why it is important to have good food trucks at the venue. I will definitely be going to more shows here! It is so much nicer than it was before. The whole park is nice.
