We celebrated a special birthday for my wife and we had family and friends fly in for the day's events. As I planned this cruise, Capt. Ritchie did a great job answering my questions and helping me prepare to include monitoring the weather and offering food options. The day of the cruise, the coordination with our group was smooth and professional allowing me to focus on my guests. The charter with the crew was great...keeping us in calm waters, calling out dolphins and sea turtles, and set up for my wife to fire the canon. All around...my entire group of friends and family completely enjoyed themselves, and help make this birthday celebration one for the books.

Thank you so much for the incredible review! It was truly a pleasure helping you plan such a special birthday celebration for your wife. Knowing that family and friends were traveling in for the occasion, we wanted everything to come together just right. I’m thrilled our crew delivered and that the dolphins, sea turtles, and especially firing the cannon, all of which helped make it a birthday for the books! Thank you for trusting us with such an important day. We loved having your entire group aboard!
Booked the Suncoast Horizon for a client event and everyone had an amazing time. The crew and captain were excellent! Very organized, informational, great customer service. 5-star!
