Dolphin Landings Charter Boat Center

It was very relaxing, made you feel very safe and the crew was friendly and educational I would definitely recommend to any one..

I would recommend this to all of my family and friends. The crew was awesome and attentive.From the sunset sail we met some people we didn't know and became friends It was a blast!

I am a local St Pete Beach resident and had my two grown sons here for the Holidays. I have been on this sailboat several times before, one time with my sales team as a group fun outing, one time with some clients from out of town and once with a date ! Every experience was a lot of fun! This time the weather was not the greatest and the water was much rougher but once again had a fabulous time! The crew on the boat is fun and I have always been lucky to have a pretty neat bunch of people sharing the ride! I highly recommend this sunset trip to locals and visitors! Well worth the money!

We were surprised to find "the boat" was a sailboat......but it turned out to be a perfect experience-under sail and with the (quiet) motor when gently pursuing dolphins.....the Capt. and crew were friendly and very hospitable....I would definately use this service again-

My husband and I took a sunset cruise on Saturday evening. The information provided on Zerve about what to bring and what to wear was very helpful. We did struggle a bit with finding the marina but we gave ourselves enough time (per Zerve's recommendation) and we found it. The crew was friendly, helpful, and informative. The cruise itself was good but we thought it was a tad bit overpriced. The cost was the only drawback.

It was a warm day in November and the dolphins showed up pretty quickly. They came close to the boat and also we saw one jump out of the water twice. It was an exciting experience and the captain and his mate made the trip much more enjoyable.

My girlfriend loses dolphins,I love sailing and being on the water!The 2 man crew were very friendly and knowledgeable .Sailed around the bay,saw the dolphins in their natural environment ,went on my girlfriends birthday ,a very nice day.Would recommend to all.

We booked this at the last minute on Sunday 10/16. Booking was easy via Zerve and the confirmation process via email to my iPhone at the Dock worked perfectly. There were enough people for 2 of the Ketch's to sail. We were on the Magic with Captain Dan and Captain Clint. We learned about the Ketch, the sails, and the keel, and an explanation of the sailing angle. We sailed Boca Ciega bay, to the mouth of the bay and got to see a great sunset. You can take your own drinks / snacks. They had a ice chest, you can use to keep stuff cold, and had soft drinks available. We took a plastic carafe and plastic wine glasses and enjoyed wine. Don't go expecting to get out in the Gulf, we didn't and weren't disappointed with the trip. Neither of us had been on any sailing vessel before, so we had a lot of fun. Captain Dan and Clint were very accommodating and friendly. The Magic under sail was a lot of fun. This was a taste of sailing for us and we will be looking for more.

We brought our own bottle of wine with plastic cups, but other beverages provided. Captain was very knowledgeable about the area. He has a love of sailing and he showed it. After a long week in the sun, this evening sail was so delightful, peaceful, and simply relaxing. We went in mid-October. Jackets were needed for some, but not all. Blankets were provided if needed. Several in our party, thought this was the best part of the whole trip.

The wind was 10-15 konts and we had a good sail. The captain was informative and knowledgeable. Got to see dolphins also.

Great crew, nice boat but not what i thought it would be. Yes we saw Dolphins, but unless you have a camera that has a 30x zoom, you'll be disappointed

Our expectations were not that high but the chance of seeing Dolphins and the cost of the trip made it worth giving it a bash. After a slow start, the sunset trip really turned out much, much higher than our original expectations. It was a truly memorable highlight to another fantastic Florida holiday. Value for money doesn't even come into it other than to say the trip is worth twice the $35 paid. Don't think about it- just do it!

Our sunset cruise was memorable and must be repeated! The ambiance was relaxed, the views spectacular and the sailboat was clean and well maintained. The staff was helpful, professional and very skilled at sailing.

My wife and I were enjoying a nice weekend away from Orlando. Looking for something different to do, I made these plans for a romantic evening, and guys I got kudos (and more) for doing so. With a couple of thermos filled with wine we embarked on a pleasant cruise and enjoyed the beauty of the west coast sunset. The on-board hospitality was very good and I know my fellow passengers also had a terrific time. It was cool traveling under/through the drawbridges. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5, was that I (assumed) was expecting to be out in the gulf for part of the cruise. Then again, I did not ask in advance. I don't know if other sunset cruises go out on the gulf. Based on the Dolphin dock locations, the trips would probably need to leave an hour earlier to accomplish this, making it a three hour cruise instead of two hours, and possibly more expensive, but I would have paid more. On-line booking was very easy, and I found the value of the excursion ($35 per person charge plus a booking fee) to be worth it. We will likely to go on one of the daytime trips next time we are in town.

The trip to Shell Island was very relaxing and enjoyable. We really liked Shell Hunting and will always remember what a special trip this was. The only recommendation I would like to suggest ,is that having a boat with bathroom facilities would put those at ease that may require one during the trip. It was fine for us, but I know others were concerned about a possible need. Our guides were very nice!
