Join Coastal Cruises’ on our brand new 45ft Custom Catamaran for an evening like no other! A scenic trip out the Intracoastal and along Shell Key Preserve provides us ample opportunities for dolphin sightings. Once stopped at Shell Key, feel free to go for a romantic walk, search for that perfect shell, and watch the Sun kiss the horizon over the Gulf of Mexico. On our return trip, we’ll stop by the Pinellas Bayway's "Cathedral Bridge" for a beautiful highlight of our area's beautiful architecture.
As safety is our number one priority, the dusk return trip will be aided by state of art Thermal Vision Cameras, GPS Navigation. Our Custom Boat is the only one in the area that is equipped properly to safely provide you with such a unique experience!
