Excellent Trip with Captain Pat
3 Hour – Sunset Charter on November 14, 20254 adults
Our group of 4 had a great sunset cruise with Captain Pat. He allowed us to choose what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go with our charter. He provided excellent knowledge of the area and made the trip very fun! We loved seeing the dolphins and sticking around after sunset to see the skyline turn pink. Would definitely recommend Captain Pat for your next private charter

Captain Pat was accommodating, as well as informative. Having lived in Sarasota for 26 years, and taken several sunset cruises, he was by far the best guide.
