With calm waters and unbeatable views, St. Pete is the perfect place for a memorable sunset cruise.
Our Sunset Cruise departs from the Tierra Verde Marina Resort in St Pete, and is always a small-group, semi-private experience, limited to just six passengers per vessel. Your captain serves as both guide and host, ensuring a more personal, interactive, and enjoyable trip compared to large commercial tours. Feel free to bring your favorite drinks or snacks—coolers are provided—and stretch out comfortably on our spacious boats. During cooler months, we offer blankets to keep you warm as the sun sets.
After your 2-hour tour, you’ll return to the Tierra Verde Marina Resort, where you can extend your evening with a short walk to the Island Grille Restaurant or enjoy rooftop cocktails at Vista at the Top in the Marriott.
