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.

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!

He was super friendly and didn't mind our music selection. It was such a smooth ride and awesome time for my friends and I to hang out and dance and enjoy each other. I would absolutely recommend this activity! I was a bit skeptical because of the in-depth waiver, but once you get there, it's understandable lol. It's a BYOB and Food boat so we got to bring whatever we wanted. They provided a large cooler to put our drinks in. It was such a nice vibe. There was a "bathroom" on the boat which was cool if you need one. There were life jackets, and this cool ski for shots. Captain John took us to a spot where a few girls got to jump off the boat into some 3ft waters. Overall a great first experience. And I don't know how to swim and not that fund of small boats LOL, so for me to want to do it again, it was a decent time. Definitely something great to do on a chill weekend!

There were only 27 passengers, so we had lots of room to move about. Right out of the dock, we had dolphins swimming behind us, which was awesome. The sun finally came out of the clouds and we got some nice views. Lastly, we went under the Skyway Bridge which was lit up and beautiful. The staff were super helpful the whole trip. They offer beer, wine, soft drinks and water for purchase as well as a few snacks. There is seating on different levels, front and back. The Captain did a great job piloting the ship so we all felt comfortable.

I was very pleased with how well Captain Randy communicated and provided additional insight. Upon closer to the time for our day I had a follow up conversation with Cassie who provided even more information that brought comfort not only to me but my guests as well. They provided a cooler with ice and water as well as numerous floats and shelling bags. The whole experience was relaxing and refreshing. Our captain for the day was Jordan and she was Spectacular with keeping us on time and showing us around. We did a 4 hour boat tour but were able to have time on the slide and visit two islands. Truly an unforgettable experience for families and groups alike. 10/10 will be booking again for a longer time. Thank you for providing a wonderful experience.
