Will we see dolphins?
We make our best effort to locate dolphins. Clearwater beach has a healthy population swimming around it’s waters, but we cannot guarantee we will spot them during our cruise. Should we see dolphins, we will alert our passengers and make sure everyone has the opportunity to take a look.
Do you have have food on the cruise?
We do have “emergency” snacks on the boat for sale, but we do not have any “meal” type food. Chips and snacks can be purchased from our bar.
Do you allow dogs on the boat?
Our boat is no place for dogs. We love dogs, but the metal deck and lack of water or areas to relieve itself all make for a very uncomfortable trip for a dog. In addition, we have several very loud noises including the ship horn and the cannon that are hard on human ears and potential dangerous to dogs ears. For those reasons, and others we do not allow dogs of any kind on our boat.
Do you allow wheelchairs or strollers on the boat?
Unfortunately, getting on and off the boat as well as getting around the boat can be difficult for wheelchairs and strollers. There is seating on all decks on our boat. We have storage for those on our dock while you are on the cruise.
