Q&A

Q: Is it easy to reschedule if the weather doesn't cooperate?

A: Yes, rescheduling is pretty straightforward! Captain Clearwater is really flexible. If bad weather is in the forecast, just reach out to them as soon as you can, and they’ll help you find a new date that works. They want you to have the best experience possible, so they’ll do their best to accommodate you.

Q: What should we wear for the cruise? Is there a dress code?

A: No strict dress code! Just wear comfy clothes that you don’t mind getting wet. A swimsuit under a cover-up is perfect. Don’t forget flip-flops and a hat for sun protection. And maybe bring a light jacket for when you’re cruising back in as it can get a bit breezy.

Q: Is this cruise good for kids? Are there any age limits?

A: Absolutely, the cruise is great for kids! There aren’t any age limits, and it’s a fun way for families to explore. Just keep in mind that they’ll need to be supervised while swimming or snorkeling. Captain Clearwater has plenty of experience with families.

Thinking about the Clearwater Island Escape for my anniversary!

Hey everyone! I’m considering booking this private cruise for my wife and I. We love the beach and the idea of dolphin watching sounds amazing! Does anyone have tips on what to bring or how to make it extra special? I want it to be memorable!

Just got back from the Clearwater cruise, and it was epic!

Wow, what an experience! Captain Clearwater was super chill and took us to the best sandbars. We saw so many dolphins! The cooler was stocked with ice, and we brought our drinks. Perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Highly recommend it!
