Reviews from Tripadvisor
Amazing!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Captain Eric was honestly amazing. We had a little rain and he was so empathetic and just obviously trying to make it an amazing experience for everyone. You can tell he has a love for what he does and my husband and I had such an amazing time celebrating the last night of our honeymoon on this adventure. Cheers Captain!"

Breathtaking Views!

"Capt Eric was accommodating, very knowledgeable of the Daytona area and nautical sense, as well as professional and personable. Plenty of photo opportunities and even had some provided. We also got to see a plentiful amount of dolphins! Would definitely recommend!! 10/10"

Most Spectacular Trip!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"The cruise was exciting and awesome! Captain Eric was extremely knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. He pointed out all the best sites, including a still operational draw bridge. He gave us an unforgettable experience. In fact, it was the highlight of our vacation. THANK YOU so much, Captain Eric!"

Celebrating Our 50th
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Although there was a hiccup in the booking, Capt. Eric, went out of his way to accommodate us on our 50th anniversary. This cruise was the highlight of our stay in Daytona (and my wife is not easily impressed). If you have an opportunity to take advantage of this Sunset Tour, you wont regret it!
