Romantic Sunset Cruises and Tours for a Night Out

Sunset Cruises and Tours for a Romantic Night Out

In Florida, we’ve got some truly beautiful sunsets. And the best of those are always seen at the beach. But, imagine a Florida sunset experienced from a boat with the sun reflecting off the ocean and turning the whole world orange and red as you spend the evening with your significant other. That sounds like a perfect date night! From romantic dinner cruises to dolphin watching, here are some of Tampa Bay’s most romantic sunset cruises and tours.

Tiki Boat Tours

When it comes to sunset cruises, nothing is cooler than floating around on a tiki bar boat. Both Florida Tiki Tours (pictured in feature image) and Cruisin’ Tikis Tampa offer sunset tiki boat tour experiences. These tours depart from multiple locations throughout Tampa Bay, including John’s Pass in Madeira Beach, Clearwater and even the Tampa Riverwalk . Tours are BYOB, so bring along your own beverages to sip.

Romantic Sunset Cruises for Dinner

Yacht Starship is one of Tampa Bay’s premier dinner cruise options. Departing from Tampa and Clearwater, each tour is an all-inclusive evening aboard a stylish dining yacht. Besides enjoying a 2.5-hour cruise with romantic sunset views, you’ll also be treated to a 3-course meal, open bar (beer and wine) and plenty of time for dancing. Reservations can be made online. Non-dinner cruise option is available as well.

Another local favorite, StarLite Cruises offers sunset dining cruises departing from St. Pete and Clearwater. On this sunset dinner cruise, your ticket includes admission for the 2.5-3 hour cruise with dinner as an add-on once you board. For dinner, you’ll be able to use the full StarLite dining service that functions just as a normal restaurant would. Each of the two ships has a different menu, so make sure to check that before booking! Reservations for romantic sunset cruises can be made online.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your cancellation policy.

Customer Cancellations: Must be requested via calling or emailing no less than 48hrs before trip departure for a full refund. No shows or late arrivals will be charged the full ticket price.

Weather Cancellations : If your trip’s departure may be impacted by weather, our captains will reach out via text and email with as much advance notice as possible. Should the trip be canceled, guests are entitled to be refunded, rebooked, or receive a gift card in accordance with the cancellation policy associated with their ticket.

Is there a bathroom on board?

Yes there is a restroom on board that is cleaned and sanitized daily!

What time should we arrive?

Please plan to arrive no later than 20 minutes prior to your scheduled departure for boarding.

Is there parking available?

Yes! We have designated free parking for all of our customers.

Are we allowed to bring food?

Yes! Guests are more than welcome to bring their own snacks or light fare.

Can we bring our own alcohol?

For insurance purposes, outside alcohol is not permitted and may be confiscated for the duration of your trip. Don’t worry, our bar will be fully stocked!

What is available at the bar?

Our bar features a small selection of water, soda, beer, wine, and RTD Cocktails: $1 Water; $3 Coke, Sprite, Diet Coke; Michelob Ultra; $7 Corona, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Moscato, NUTRL Vodka Seltzer, Cutwater Mojito.

How do we get off at the beach?

For our island stops, we use a series of steps from the front of our boat to the sand. Typically, you can step right from the boat/steps to the sand. However, on occasion, it may be up to ankle deep.

What should we wear?

Comfort is key! Swimming is discouraged during the island stop due to strong tidal currents. Guests are encouraged to dress as they feel comfortable for their evening with easily removable shoes for their walk on the beach. Keep in mind, being on the water in the evening is about 10 degrees colder than is forecasted, so a windbreaker or light jacket is always safe.

Is your vessel handicap accessible?

Unfortunately we are not handicap accessible at this time. Guests with limited mobility (i.e. walkers, canes) should call our office prior to booking. A good rule of thumb is if the limited mobility passenger is able to make it up 2-3 standard stairs with assistance. Our crew is always here to help and eager to share our memorable trip with all!
