It's a must do the choice is yours a day cruise or a sunset cruise. Captain Darrell is one of the most awesome captain's. He is very knowledgeable of Tampa and does an amazing job telling you the history of Tampa. While allowing you to enjoy music of your choice, also you can bring your own brown bag along with some snacks. I look forward to the sunset cruise, And I must say that I have never gotten tired of going because its so nice. My family that returns for a visit always remind me to plan for this boat ride. They bring other people to experience it as well. Thanks Captain D for sharing your boat. I look forward to bringing many more friends and family. and let me not forget to mention that it's very safe. Lisa J

I found…read moreTampa Bay fun boat and it was 25.00 a person for an hour and half ride watching sunset as well as some mansions and some history of the area . The two gentlemen Aaron and Daryl were very nice and informative. It was very chilly so bring a jacket if going after summer . For me it was just ok a little boring boat went very slow and the scenery seemed to be all the same . The boat needs some sprucing up for sure . The other boats available at that marina were far nicer and seemed more comfortable. Would i recommend this boat tour? Yes but I do think there's better options .

The tickets felt a little expensive at $36 per person given the brevity of the experience and the infrequency of the pickups and dropoffs. We rode the river route up to Armature/Ulele, and the tour was an entertaining (albeit short) 15 minute ride. We ended up exploring the fantastic river walk down to the gorgeous U of Tampa campus before catching a returning taxi about an hour later. During one of the dockings, there was an unfortunate incident that almost tanked the evening. Something went awry, and the fire hose next to me started spraying at a high volume. I ended up soaking wet from head to toe on a cool winter evening. The captain and staff were apologetic, and I ended up with a couple of beers on the house, so we went ahead with the longer Island loop route. This trip was a pleasant cruise. It's a lot longer than the river route, but there are not a ton of points of interest (mainly some mansions and heavy industrial areas). The vibes were good - what's not to like about a cruising on the water with a cold drink and an entertaining tour guide. Ultimately, my sons ended up enjoying the water taxi and telling me it was a highlight of our trip. We loved the Armature and Ulele stop and ended up going back there for dinner and dessert. I didn't love the price and the incident that happened on board, but this was a good experience overall.

We brought pizza, sushi, champagne, decorations, and enjoyed sailing down the river with relaxing music playing in the background. There were six of us, and we booked the largest boat.

It is $35 plus tax etc for all you can drink (alcohol/wine) boat ride for about an hr and a half. If you don't drink alcohol you can get all you can drink non alcoholic beverages as well. We arrived early and they started boarding on time. There were a few other ppl on our boat but it was not too crowded at all. I was afraid it was going to be a kiddie type with of event with the pirate theme but actually the kids were all on the lower deck being entertained by the workers. Most of the adults were on the top deck doing our own thing. The drinks were good! The bartender was friendly, as well as all of the other staff. Out of all the activities I did that weekend with my family this was by far my favorite. The ride was relaxing. The vibes were chill and they even had some music and had us join in the cha cha slide. We watched the sun go down and took pics. The weather was perfect that time of night and the views were phenomenal. I would definitely go on this exact boat ride again. I'm glad I chose this for my birthday. It is really a great value boat ride for the whole family to enjoy!

The tiki boat itself is a floating paradise, with plenty of space to relax, enjoy drinks, and take in the scenery. Watching the sun dip below the horizon while cruising on the water was nothing short of magical. Captain Austin kept the energy fun and made sure everyone had an incredible time. If you're in St. Pete and looking for a unique, fun, and scenic way to experience the sunset, this is it! Can't wait to do it again!

Give yourself plenty of time to a.) find parking in downtown Tampa and b.) find this boat's dock…read more Both of those took me forever. When I located the dock, I was maybe the 5th or 6th person there and none of us were really sure we were in the right place (maybe put a sign up?). Unfortunately, due to the captain not making any announcement as to what tour or company he was with, I was the last person on the boat and got stuck sitting in the roasting sun with no canopy. I spent most of the tour with my purse and tote bag over my arms trying to avoid a sunburn. The captain was informative when we got going, and I appreciated the offer of free water to everyone on board (you don't want anyone passing out). Lots of info about Native American and early settler history, and the buildings on the skyline. We saw the Gasparilla pirate ship, the actual war ship American Victory, the hotel turned college built by Henry B. Plant, the Tampa Riverwalk, and celebrity homes like Derek Jeter's place the size of a department store. Despite the heat, it was great to be out on the water and in fresh air. I hope the tour company will consider telling patrons that they may end up in direct sunlight for 1.5 hours and to dress for that possibility. I'm sure that seems obvious to some, but I assumed there would be an awning.

I've never simply talked to someone on the phone and left a review without trying things out first…read more BUT, not with this company. I won't go into details and bore you, but I called them the first time to simply ask a question, a guy with a deep voice answered aaaand I will say he was a huge, complete A-hole. I wound up hanging up. The next day I got a missed call from them, no voicemail, I called back about 2 minutes later and said I had a missed call from this number, it was the same guy. When I told him I just got a call from the number he had a long pause then just said "uuihhhhh NO", and was rude. I said yes, I did. He mumbled something. Obviously I hung up. This guy is just answering the phones and he is simply ridiculously rude for no reason. Needless to say we aren't going to use the water taxi most likely simply due to this guy. Why? Because if there was any issue my guess is you'd have to deal with this guy. No thanks.

The catamaran exceeded our expectations and we would definitely use them in the future and would most definitely recommend their charter service.

I am extremely disappointed with how this charter from Sweet Escape Charters was handled…read more I received a last-minute text message informing me that my charter was canceled because the captain who held the required license for groups larger than six passengers "unexpectedly resigned." As a result, the company stated they could no longer legally accommodate my booking as originally planned. The message offered three options: reduce our group to six people, reschedule for a later date, or accept a refund. While I understand that staffing issues can occur, this explanation and solution are not acceptable given that this was a pre-booked, planned event that multiple people organized their schedules around. What is most frustrating is the timing and lack of proper contingency planning. A business offering group charters should not be in a position where a single staffing change results in last-minute cancellations or forced downsizing of paid bookings. This reflects poor organization and a lack of reliability. Because of this, I had to scramble last minute to salvage my birthday plans. What was supposed to be a chartered experience has now turned into a simple beach day with drinking games and making the best of a situation that should never have been handled this way. Overall, the experience was highly inconvenient and disappointing, and it significantly disrupted our plans. For a service that markets itself around special outings and experiences, this level of instability is not acceptable. I would strongly caution others against booking with Sweet Escape Charters unless you are comfortable with the possibility of last-minute cancellations and significant disappointment, especially for important events.
