    a view of a marina from a balcony
    Mariana B.

    There are three different places. Each one has its own menu. Outside has a cool environment and the menu is more like tacos and nachos. Inside second floor, open for dinner with dinner menu. And this one, first floor. Environment is really nice, staff were friendly. Pineapple margarita was amazing. The margarita I ordered was extremely strong, but I asked for some sour mix and got perfect. Chowder was good. Tuna taco amazing. And the steak sandwich was delicious.

    From the valet, to the checking-in at the gift shop, to boarding, and the entire boating experience while eating delicious food! We all loved it so much and would recommend to go back for a tremendous experience of sounds and sights of the ocean! Thank you Captain Justin and a shout to Gabriel for helping my father-in law and bringing up his meal! Thank you!!!

    Salmon and Chicken with sides from buffet. Very good.

    We enjoyed the lunch cruise on 9-3-2022. We (2) were seated on top level. Birthday lunch for my husband. The buffet was very good. Salad, bread, chicken, salmon, rice, veggies and desert. Had several drinks that were great. Relaxing cruise with a few narratives from the captain. Great views, of course. Easy to book, great communication via call/text/email. All staff was very attentive and courteous.

    We had a delightful lunch cruise. The food was fresh and delicious and the service was superb. The views of the gulf were delightful. Our menus featured mixed greens salad, rolls, mixed veggies, rice, glazed salmon, chicken Marsala, key lime pie, chocolate cake, and raspberry almond cheesecake. Of course they have a cash bar, but offer coffee, iced tea, and soda as well. Can't wait to go back! Also, the air conditioning is definitely a plus!

    We wanted to do something fun on our vacation abd go on a trip around the gulf. Food was buffet style. It was good. It was a bit hot, I'm not sure if the air was working? They had a great cocktail menu. Nice romantic dinner with the greatest views.

    In all of the years that we have vacationed in the area, I simply can't believe how long it took for me to discover Marina Jack II. As we always stay in Siesta Key, we usually only find ourselves in Sarasota when heading to & from the airport. This year, 2 of us ended up staying over night in Sarasota as we had a Sunday flight. In order to keep the vacation vibe going, I searched area boat tours & stumbled across Marina Jack II & saw that they offered an afternoon sight-seeing lunch tour for 1.5 hours for around $40 per person. Having already ate, I was delighted to see a "sight-seeing only" option for $25 per person & literally jumped on board. The boat was far more comfortable than all of the other boat cruises I have taken here due to air conditioned cabins with large window views, comfortable seating & neutral music playing in the background. One of my favorite features of this tour was assigned seating. All too often I have found other cruises to be a free for all with everyone jockeying for position & this was a welcomed reprieve from that. The cruise boards 30 minutes prior to departure & requires that you first check in at the gift shop where you will be given your boarding pass(es) & seat assignments. The tour itself covers Bird, Lido & Siesta Keys as well as Sarasota. You can expect to see the homes of celebrities such as Stephen King and hopefully quite a few dolphins will be out as well.

    First off let me start off by saying the views are amazing. If you're looking for a nice place to relax catching some views on the water you've come to the right place. If you're from out of town I suggest checking the spot out. I really like the pork sliders, they were full of flavor very tender. I would highly recommend this appetizer. I also really like the fried grouper fish appetizer. So fresh and just amazing. I believe this is local grouper that is caught in Sarasota Florida. Also the mashed potatoes were excellent. However the prime rib which is the main course was really like a two or three but everything else was so good I was able to give this place four stars. I would suggest adding some sort of steak to the menu. The prime rib just doesn't cut it no pun intended. I would definitely go back for the views, the fried grouper, and a dessert.

    Ask the Community - Marina Jack Cruise

    Does Marina Jack II offer any vegetarian options for their lunch and dinner cruises?

    We took the dinner cruise in May 2022. They offered a carving station with salads and vegetables plus prime rib and salmon. Everything was delicious. The staff were very accommodating to everyone.
