Great relaxing afternoon out - Had a great afternoon out on the boat. We saw some dolphins and enjoyed a relaxing sail around Clearwater. Everyone was friendly and we all had a good time.

5/5 stars, definitely recommend! - We did the sunset cruise with 6 of us adults total, had the absolute best time! We were able to bring drinks on board that they iced down, the boat itself is beautiful and well maintained. You can move throughout the sailing to get all the different views - we parked ourselves near the captain for most of the trip because he had all the best stories and information! Booth was easy to find in the marina, they send you detailed instructions for the day of the sailing to get you to the right place and what to expect. Well worth the money and highly recommend!

Great sailing! - My daughter and I booked this on our last day. It was amazing! Very relaxing trip on the sea for a couple of hours. The host was knowledgeable with years of experience. His helper Christian was a gentleman and was great to talk to. We were able to see dolphins on this trip. Drinks are provided.

Two thumbs up! - It was a beautiful day for sailing! We were in good hands with Tim and Cory. They were very experienced, knowledgeable and accommodating. Cory is a skilled photographer and took some great photos to capture the experience.

Nice Boat, Great Sail - This is our second time doing the sunset cruise on Schooner Clearwater. The new owner and Captain (Tim), and first mate Corey were a pleasure to sail with. All I can say is you like to sail, this is the boat for you!!

Can’t miss afternoon - Great afternoon on the water with a very capable and friendly captain and crew. Well designed and stable boat. Nothing like sailing off Clearwater Beach, quiet, and wind in your hair. Definitely a must.

Outstanding Sail - Unique opportunity to experience quality sailing for a reasonable price and see Clearwater Beach from the Gulf side. Captain Tim and crew does a great job. We had a great time and the scenery is second to none. My wife and I had a superb time. I recommend Uber to access marina. Don’t underestimate the delay to get across the bridge. Traffic is an issue. Once the sail is complete, spend the afternoon on beachside. It’s a happening place.

Organiser cancelled tour without notice - When we got in check-in, the boat lay there without a crew. Local organizer had during the night canceled the trip without us being notified. He referred to Viator who he had warned. We were encouraged to book directly with the organizer next time. Now we can only hope for a refund from TripAdvisor.
