Truly one of the best experiences in my life! This 2 1/2 hour dolphin sunset cruise was like no other that we've been on! The captain and his mate knew right where to find the dolphins and how to make them play! Truly a miracle and unbelievable! The sunset was beautiful and the service was top-notch! I would not hesitate to book a trip with this company again! read more

As 5 Family members we decided to do this boat tour for an afternoon out on the water. Apparently there was a minimum of 8 people but they decided to take us out on a smaller boat. We loved having the boat to ourselves. It was a beautiful day and we saw a ton of dolphins jumping around. All drinks were complementary. Larry and Taylor were awesome. Loved the stories. Will definitely be back in the winter for another trip. read more

Parrotdise Express - Beautiful sunset. - Boat Charters Near Me - Dunedin, Florida

I'm writing this updated review as I don't think my first review gave these guys enough credit. First, my wife and I go out with these folks often. They do such a wonderful job, the Parrotdise Express is one of our go to attractions when family or friends come down for a visit. I can honestly say, this has ALWAYS been a big hit every single time!!! The online reservations are easy to make and the check-in and onboarding process is easy. The crew is alway outstanding. Be mindful, the beers, sangrias, soft drinks and water are unlimited which either Shawn or Susan dole out readily. The boat itself is well maintained, plenty of seating room, gives a steady ride and the head (bathroom) is clean. Recently my daughter and son-in-law were married on Honeymoon Island and they liked the Parrotidse express so much, from past visits they wanted to fit this into the wedding plans. So, we chartered the entire boat and once again, the crew of the Parrotdise express came through with flying colors. Setting up the reservation was easy, everyone was treated very well while on the cruise. And how can I forget the main attractions! Sure, you get in some great views of the intercostal waterway, several celebrities homes are pointed out, the views of Clearwater beach, Caladesi and Honeymoon Islands are picturesque and if you take the sunset cruise, that can make for a wonderful view. But for me, the stars of the show are of course the dolphins and we've seen plenty of them when on the Parrotdise Express. We've been on several other dolphin cruises in the area, but by far, Parrotdise Express seems to know where to go and get the Dolphins to swim around the boat. I've concluded that this is due to two factors. One, the Captains know what they are doing and the best spots. Two, the boat is able to get up to the right speed and develop a wake that get the Dophins to come by and play for a bit. So, if you are looking for a leisurely, on the water experience, get in some sight seeing, a sunset on the water and the chance to see some dolphins, then I would highly recommend going to Dunedin and taking a ride with the crew of the Parrotdise Express!! A bonus is that either before or after the cruise, Dunedin has many options for meals, drinks and dessert. To everyone at Parrotise Express... Bravo Zulu!!! read more

Whether you see dolphins or not, this is always a great venture to take guests in town. We only saw one dolphin off in the distance on our sunset cruise, when we left the Dunedin arena, but we saw quite a few at Honeymoon Island that day so it wasn't a big deal for our guests. The threat of rain loomed, so we didn't go the planned route, instead routed around it. (This is Florida in the rainy season). The first mate was prompt with the drinks (water, soda, beer, sangria, punch, wine) and the atmosphere is totally jovial. There is some sea spray if you sit up front at the bow but it's warm out so it wasn't an issue for anyone. We did see an interesting sunset though with low clouds and rain off in the distance. If you don't have a boat but want to go out on a great short boat ride, this is it. We've been on it at least a dozen times and always have fun. read more

I don't know where to start. This experience is much of the reasoning for the love I have for Dunedin today. From a young age, my family and I have attended the Parrotdise Express many times with many different people- nobody was ever disappointed. The trip takes you from Dunedin through Clearwater, providing you with many excellent views and experiences. The dolphins act like they are literally putting on a show for you, jumping besides the boat leaving a splash. The excitement on the boat is unmatched. Captain Jeff is maybe in my top 10 people ever, as he never fails to multiply the enjoyment of the experience- always shouting "jump dolphins jump" like a magic trick that actually works. In addition, he even has done a special trip for my grandparents to renew their vows- taking them to Caladesi Island and creating an experience for my entire family. However, no matter who your captain on the boat is, they will make your experience memorable. Overall, if you are visiting Dunedin or even Pinellas County at that rate, you have to stop at the Parrotdise Express for an experience you will never forget. read more

My husband and I took the sunset cruise for my birthday and it did not disappoint! We've been on many charters, but this one stands out. Captain Jeff was fun and engaging. Taylor was our 'hydration specialist' and she couldn't have been sweeter if she tried. We got all kinds of area fun facts and the dolphins were out to play. We will definitely be back! read more

We took the Snorkel and Shelling trip to Anclote Key with Captain Ron and his "hydration specialist" Shaun! They had plenty of water and other drinks, plus sanitized snorkels and bags for shells. We saw several dolphins. The snorkeling spot was beautiful and we saw many fish, crab, and even a starfish among the sea grass. Ron and Shaun had great senses of humor and were both very knowledgeable of the area. This is our 3rd year in a row traveling to Indian Rocks Beach and we usually just stay on the beach- we are so happy we made the short trip to Dunedin for the Parrotdise Express! read more

Fun crew. Gorgeous sunset. Family loved this crew. Information about Clearwater residents was very interesting. Book this cruise.

5 stars all day everyday. I wish I could work with these guys! Captain Jeff and his Hydration Specialist Shawn make these dolphin cruises! The boat is large enough for so many folks to enjoy. We've taken the sunset dolphin cruise twice now. Complimentary beverages aboard, bring cash to tip. Relaxing ride. They can't predict that you will 100% see dolphins, but this is such a good activity if you have family or friends in town. Price point is just right, you certainly get what you pay for. read more

We have gone out on Parrotdise several times and it has never disappointed! Every time we've seen dolphins, even though there's no guarantee obviously, and we always see an incredible sunset. Even tonight when we went out, it was overcast but we still managed to have an incredible cruise with good temperatures, lots of fun, drinks included, and beautiful skies. I highly recommend this! The staff is awesome! And the Captain is fun, informative & friendly. Get your tickets now!! read more

Do you ever find yourself wondering what to do in Clearwater/Dunedin? Well, look no further. This is simply the BEST attraction in all of Tampa/Clearwater area. I have gone on this excursion more than a handful of times and it is just as good as the first. Great price, great drinks, and better yet... GREAT Crew! Captain Jeff and his noble deckhand Sean are the best duo in the Clearwater area. Whenever I have guests visiting in town, this is the first excursion I book. How can you beat an amazing dolphin cruise with free booze? I love this excursion and will always be a faithful customer to the Parrotdise express. Thank you Captain Jeff and Deckhand Sean, words cannot express how great this company is. (We moved from Idaho to Tampa, because of this excursion) read more

Beautiful weather, excellent captain....Mickey could not have been more accommodating and attentive. I will definitely be back

Very professional crew. Miki was an excellent crewmember and very attentive to guests. Safety briefing was very important. Only critique would be to serve a little better wine and sangria. The punch was nothing more than canned Hawaiian fruit punch and rum. A signature punch made with a little more creativity is needed. read more

Captain and Mickey were wonderful had a great sunset dolphin cruise perfect night what a treat with so many dolphins to watch playing and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful night, a full moon and beautiful sunset. One thing I would add are cushions for any elderly people that come on board. And maybe add to your unlimited beverage selection some sparkling water. But other than that a perfect evening! And extra bonus manatees playing before shoving off. read more

Out on a cold sunset dolphin watching cruise last night. Met some great people. Captain and mate did a great job. Thanks guys!

This was my second time on the Parrotdise Express and again it did not disappoint! Captain Jeff loves his job and it shows. He always has a first mate available to assist with refilling your drinks the entire cruise and answering any questions you may have. Captain Jeff is always on the lookout for Dolphins and does a great job once he sees a pod to have them play alongside the boat. He is also very knowledgeable of the area and does a great job pointing out celebrity homes and different tid bits about the area. A must do if your are in the Dunedin Area! I will definitely be back! read more

My daughter and I had the absolute BEST dolphin watch trip yesterday. We had dolphins jumping behind the boat and another racing along side of us . They followed the boat for a long time it was amazing. The captain told us to clap and shout to encourage them to jump which we did, and it worked. The sunset on the way back was spectacular. The crew is terrific... friendly, funny, and professional. And cap the whole experience off with wine pours from Captain Tracie I would recommend it highly. read more
