    June 28/2025: Dinner with Lisa/Ed/Todd & Amanda. This was a 3rd class experience with a 1st class price tag...$92.00USD/pp! Ship looked like it carried about 100 passengers. They also kinda corner you into a group photo when you board the ship, which is then offered for purchase for $25.00! It was buffet style with a very limited selection. Salad with roasted potatoes, chicken & beef AND they ran out of the beef! Dessert was cheesecake or chocolate cake. It all tasted like 3rd class food to me. The cruise is all-inclusive but it's only 2 hours long. You don't make it out of the Bay. Only had time for 2 drinks & then they closed the bar without notice that I heard at least! What erked me the most was a MANDATORY $10.00/pp gratuity! It's NOT a gratuity if it's mandatory! I don't think this is value for money. I definitely would NOT do this over again.

    This was one of the best boat cruises that I have experienced in a long time! From the time we were about to board until we left the crew made us feel warm and welcome. U have to make reservations in advance because they sellout pretty quickly. I went with my family and we were a party of six people. They sat us in the middle of the boat on the first deck. The ambience was elegant and classy. Now the ONLY thing that I will complain about is the DJ. She was an older lady and she played music that no one could relate to or wanted to dance to. She took requests so that helped out with the music tremendously! We started with our drink order which you can see in the pictures. They were all really really great. The food was delicious but I did need salt and pepper! (Lol) I ordered the Land and Sea entree, which consisted of a 8oz flat iron steak and 2 stuffed shrimp. My other family members ordered the Chicken Marsala entree, the Classic Filet Mignon entree, the Stuffed Shrimp entree, and the Salmon entree. A mandarin salad, mashed potatoes or rice, sautéed green beans, and bread with seasoned oil was complimentary. We also ordered the crab and shrimp dip and an appetizer sized beef Wellington, which were both very tasty. Our server (Ashley) was really sweet and did her best to keep our needs met while helping 6 -7 other tables. We ate, drank and danced the night away so I can definitely say that it was a wonderful experience and something that I recommend everyone to try.

    My family had a great time on the dinner cruise. Food tastes great. I tried the seafood dip as my appetizer and the steak with stuffed shrimp as the main course Just wish there was a bit more AC on the boat for comfort.

    We booked Starlite Cruise to celebrate our anniversary and they did not disappoint! We were greeted by a photographer to get a photo before entry and our table was given a balloon and flowers with a special card to celebrate us. It was a bit warm inside but once we got out to the water we went to visit the deck where it was a bit more breezy. We ordered a bottle of wine and steaks for dinner and both were perfect. There was a DJ that was taking requests and making announcements for those celebrating. She created a really fun atmosphere for people to get up and dance and have a good time. I'd highly recommend booking this experience!

    Top deck!

    We and my boyfriend absolutely loved this dinner cruise. Staff were so nice and quick with drink orders! Food was amazing! You pay for your ticket to be on the boat and then choose your meal that will be served as your watching the sunset! There was bread, salad, and dessert that we didn't know came with every meal selection! There was three floors and the 2nd and 3rd floor you could go out on deck and look at the water/take photos! Overall an amazing experience! Food was fantastic!

    Yummy drinks

    Went for an anniversary celebration. Hospitality was five star. Our server Jacee was great. She greeted us and explained the program. She took our drink orders and had our drinks at the table in no time. The dinner was yummy. My favorite was the coconut cream salmon. Jacee brought out a special anniversary dessert for us. Thank you for a memorable evening.

    It's been a few years since my last sail on this Star Lite Clearwater and nothing much changed. Attended a morning wedding celebration and it was perfect. Food was not bad but could have been better. I enjoyed the appetizers more and wish those items were available as a menu item. Drink were great and the dj kept us on the dance floor. Took away a star based off the restroom facilities being out of order/ plumbing issues.

    Great cruise and dinner...I think we were out there for 2 1/2 hours. The staff was great and the food was more than I expected. Chicken Marsala and Flat Iron Steak entrée were very good. Salad, dessert, and the appetizer were delicious as well. The gal kept the music lively and we enjoyed the view from the upper deck.

    The staff was so nice and friendly.It was our 36yr anniversary and they announced it and had it on our dessert. I got the pork ribeye and it was awesome, my wife got the flatiron steak and she loved it. The prices was about like any restaurant price, but it was better food. We had a great time.

    My husband and I had a delightful evening aboard the Starlite Cruise! The check-in process was easy and smooth (once you find parking which is not easy so get there EARLY) and once checked in we were able to board and taken to our table. Our lovely server, Bree, was absolutely precious! We had a running game of hide and seek through the entire evening, as every time we got up to explore she literally had to come find us. Bree took excellent care of us! Our table was on the second floor by a window so we were somewhat able to look out at the view as we trolled through the intercoastal waterway. I do wish the lighting was a bit different inside, however, because it's somewhat difficult to actually see outside clearly from all the bright light inside. We ended up going up to the third floor deck and checking out the view. Up in the third deck there's seating so passengers can hang out up there, drink... Smoke... Visit... Play hide and seek with your server... (Jk jk) It was fun mingling with other guests as well. Dinner was nice, but I don't recommend the steak. For whatever reason you can only order medium rare or medium well. I like my steak medium... So I chosemedium well and it came back pretty well done. I didn't eat much of it and for the price you should be able to order it however you want. The rest of our food was superb! I also had a glass of wine with my food. There's a separate bar area you can order drinks from as well. One of the fun parts of the evening is the DJ! Our DJ was awesome! There happened to be a wedding reception on board and how fun that we got to be witness to this lovely couple's first dance. After dinner we had a dance party, doing the cupid shuffle and YMCA. It was great! All in all I would totally do this again! In fact we're wanting to take out of town friends and family to experience this! Great experience! A must do!

    Not recommended for summer. AC is not sufficient. Everyone was dripping with sweat including servers. Get the AC fixed or replaced.

    5-Star Review for The Salty Mermaid - Clearwater Beach, FL…read more I celebrated my 50th birthday with 15 of my closest friends on a 3-hour sunset party cruise with The Salty Mermaid, and it was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Captain Tony and First Mate Nick were fantastic--friendly, professional, and made sure we had the best experience possible. We loved being able to hook into the sound system and play our own music, which set the tone for an amazing evening of dancing on the deck (and yes, even on the pole!). Despite the chilly weather, we still got to jump in the water for a bit, which was such a fun touch. One of the best parts? They allowed my friend to decorate the boat before we arrived, so it felt personalized and festive. We brought drinks and snacks aboard, and the crew made sure everything went smoothly. It wasn't a great night for the sunset but the vibe was pure celebration. If you're looking for a unique, fun, and memorable way to celebrate any occasion, I HIGHLY recommend The Salty Mermaid. It was truly a great day out on the water, and I can't wait to do it again! Maureen Vicari

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.
