About This Charter
Experience one of the most relaxing and scenic sunset cruises in Tarpon Springs aboard your own private tiki boat. This 2-hour private sunset cruise takes you through the calm waters of the Anclote River and out toward the Gulf, where the sky comes alive with color as the sun dips below the horizon.
Guided by Captain Sean — a licensed boat captain and member of the Marine Commerce Commission for the City of Tarpon Springs — each cruise is timed and routed based on real conditions to give you the best possible sunset experience on the water.
On your cruise you may experience breathtaking sunset views over the Gulf waters, golden reflections across calm coastal waterways, dolphins and wildlife active in the evening hours, and a peaceful atmosphere away from crowded tour boats.
This isn't a crowded boat filled with strangers — it's your private escape on the water. Enjoy a comfortable, laid-back experience aboard your own tiki boat with only your group onboard. With years of experience navigating the Anclote River and Gulf waters, Captain Sean knows exactly where to position the boat for the best sunset views based on tides, weather, and seasonal patterns.
