Excellent Cruise!

This was our first cruise in the Tampa area, and we will be back next time in town. There is plenty of free parking right next to the ship, it’s very affordable, the food was great, their service was great, and the tour of St Pete bay is phenomenal. We did the Yacht StarShip cruise a few nights prior and it was horrible. The Sapphire was above and beyond our expectations.

We had such a good time on our Sunday evening cruise. The crew was so nice and accommodating to our group of 6 including 2 toddlers. Captain Aaron was super nice to the boys (2 1/2 years old) and Jesse made sure we were properly setup. Julia was so sweet and took good care of us throughout. The food was really good, music was fun and we all had a great time. Our son is still talking about the fun night on the “dinner boat”!

Excellent, dining, live singer, gracious waitress. Definitely Recommend. But please Ranch dressing added for salad

With Kari Guess Christy beautiful cruise and dinner. Very awsome time. Stephanie was our server, great job.

Registration on line saves you money. The dinner is paid just like you would in the restaurant. Meals are delicious. I had fish. Meals run between $25-30. All tables were window seats. The upper balcony is used for smoking. There is plenty of time to enjoy the sunset, the live entertainment, and a relaxing dinner I plan to go again in the day time.

We had a wonderful sunset dinner cruise. Lots of special celebrations onboard which was so nice to see!! We went on a Sunday evening which had an earlier departure time - and thus the sunset timing was perfect!! We used the launch site in the St. Petersburg beach area. Easy to get too and loads of parking!
