This trip is a relaxing hour and a half cruise through the back protected bay waters then on the way home you get a front row seat for the sunset as the boat cruises along the beautiful gulf beaches showing you the beautiful beach hotels during the golden hour on your right with a gorgeous sunset to your left.
During the sunset cruise we turn the music up a little louder and enjoy the festivities while captain announces information about the wildlife and surrounding areas. We don’t guarantee dolphins on the sunset cruise but we do see them often and if you drink enough free beer and wine who knows what you might see!
The "Pass", as locals refer to it, was created by a hurricane on September 27, 1848. A pirate, John Levique, made the first passage through the newly created pass. Hence the name, Johns Pass. Over one hundred merchants with unique retail shopping, a variety of restaurants and local tour operators.
Designated as an aquatic preserve in 1968, Boca Ciega Bay was protected to prevent the extensive dredging and filling activities that occurred in the 1950s. This designation helps preserve its diverse habitats, including mangrove islands, seagrass beds, oyster bars, and coral communities.
