Book THIS specific sunset tour! There are many others on the doc, but THIS is the one. You have to meet Zach! He specifically made this experience phenomenal for not just my family and I, but everyone! So much so, that I had to double back and ask for his name. He made sure kids from other families could see as much as he could accommodate, walked over to those who couldn't or didn't feel comfortable with standing to allow everyone the chance to participate in their signature sunset toast. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone enjoyed. Just great vibes , great energy and humor! I read reviews but don't always write them but this had to be shared. My family and I spent four days in Clearwater for vacation and THIS very specific sunset boat tour sealed the deal and made for the perfect end to our vacation. I've been on many boat tours / quick vacation cruises in my day , but this one by far was my favorite. The sunset cruise was perfect for our entire family of different ages. My parents are seniors, my 19 year old son and me, who won't tell you my age . I consider and make decisions carefully,especially when my family is involved ...trust me....book it, this is the one!

We had an absolutely fantastic time on The Tropics Boat Tours. From the moment we boarded, the staff was welcoming and organized, ensuring everyone was comfortable and ready for the excursion. The boat itself was well-maintained and offered great vantage points, which turned out to be essential because the wildlife did not disappoint. We were lucky enough to see many dolphins throughout the trip. It wasn’t just a quick glimpse; we saw several different pods playing and swimming near the boat, which was a huge highlight for everyone in our group. The crew seemed genuinely knowledgeable about the area and the behavior of the dolphins, adding some great context to what we were seeing. The overall atmosphere on the water was incredibly relaxing. Whether you are looking for a fun family outing or just a way to enjoy the coastal scenery, this tour is a perfect choice. Getting out on the water and seeing so many dolphins in their natural habitat made for an unforgettable experience. We would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the area!

Great tour guides. Friendly, funny and knowledgeable. We saw a ton of dolphins. They positioned us beside the Sea Screamer tour because when it took off fast, the dolphins were sure to jump up behind them in the water. It was a great experience.

We went on this tour 2 times during our stay. The first one we saw a little family of dolphins and on the second one we took the sunset. Unfortunately rain started comin down as we were out on the water but we still had a great time. The hosts were amazing both times!

Loved this tour - spur of the moment decision and was one of the highlights of our vacation. Great staff and a really fun time. Only $30 per person which was reasonable for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Can’t wait to come back next year. And yes, we saw dolphins.
