About this Experience

Private Sunset Charter on Tampa Bay: BYOB, High Energy, Unforgettable

Tampa Bay sunsets are legendary. And there is no better seat in the house than the deck of Adventure I, cruising past the Downtown skyline as the sky turns gold. This isn't a quiet dinner cruise for your grandparents. This is a private, high-energy party boat charter with a thumping sound system, a young and hyped crew, and a captain who actually wants you to have the time of your life.

We cruise Downtown Tampa's iconic waterways, past waterfront homes and natural shoreline, glide through the mangroves, and anchor wherever the vibe takes us. Dolphins, manatees, and sea turtles show up regularly. Bring up to 12 people for three hours on the water you won't forget.

We handle the essentials so you don't have to think twice:

  • Boat and licensed captain

  • Coolers, ice, and sunscreen

  • Free koozies and stickers to take home

Just bring your drinks, snacks, a swimsuit, and a good attitude.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we bring our own drinks?

Yes! This is a fully BYOB charter. Bring whatever you like. We provide coolers and ice, so all you need to do is pack your beverages and we'll keep them cold. We can also stop at waterfront bars along the way if you want to grab a drink on land.

How many people can come?

Up to 12 passengers per Coast Guard regulations. Need to bring a bigger group? We work with other local charter companies and can coordinate a multi-boat experience so no one gets left behind.

Will we see dolphins?

Quite possibly! We spot dolphins on about 75% of our four-hour and longer charters. Manatees, sea turtles, stingrays, and a variety of birds also make appearances. Tampa Bay is full of life.

How early should we arrive?

Please arrive 15 minutes before your departure time. This gives everyone time to load up, sign waivers, and get a quick safety briefing before we head out.

What are the optional add-ons?

Professional Photographer: Industry photographers who specialize in bright light and on-water shooting. Perfect for bachelorette parties, proposals, or just capturing the night. Professional DJ: Nightclub DJs who plug directly into our sound system and mix a live set tailored to your group all evening. Bottle Girl / Boy: Industry-professional entertainers who serve your drinks and keep the energy up all night.
