Was okay. When purchasing they made it seem like the dining was secluded. Instead we had multiple lines waiting beside us for alcohol. The boat was very crammed, and it took a very long time to get drinks. We had finished our meal before getting the drinks we ordered, we noticed only one person was making ALL the drinks for the cruise which is unfair for that worker. I will say the food was cold, being a buffet and not a 3 course sit down meal ( like we thought it was based off conversation with staff ) it was out with no warmers it seemed like, my food was Luke warm but still tasted good. The sunset is beautiful though.

Had an awesome experience with the family for graduation night 🎓 The top deck was superior! Great views of Davis Island (Jeter's House), Channelside and Downtown Tampa's Convention Center. Open bar at sea is clutch, but of course, house liquors always taste watered down. Food menu is small, although it was served quick and the servers were very friendly and helpful. Shrimp did taste frozen, not fresh, which effected the taste of some meals. Heads up, the Buffalo Shrimp is spicy, for those who don't know ☺️

We held our wedding reception aboard Starship III on 5/22/22. It was an absolutely WONDERFUL experience from start to finish. The booking process was simple, and Christine and the team were very helpful when explaining the different packages. They worked with us to modify docking so that the boat departed from and returned to our ceremony site (Florida Aquarium) and made it much easier for our guests. Rachel Knight, our on-site coordinator, was simply phenomenal. She was warm, friendly, and amazingly efficient. The day-of details seemed to go off without a hitch (or if there were hitches, we didn't notice or know about them!) Rachel also took the time and effort to go above and beyond - I lost my mother a few weeks before the wedding, and Rachel coordinated with my fiance to have a framed photo of the two of us made so that Mama could be there in spirit on the big day. That kind of consideration was truly exceptional. The food was wonderful, our DJ Paul made sure to hit our request list and work with us to be sure everything was what we wanted, the serving staff was friendly and made sure we were taken care of...it was just overall a wonderful experience. Our guests loved it and so did we! (Photos courtesy of A Stewart Photo & Video.)

My wife and I were so happy we went for her Birthday. The staff was friendly and the brunch food offering exceeded our expectations. A really nice suprise that set the experience off really well was that the food was ready as soon as you were allowed to board. So we had enough time to basically finish our food as the boat was launching, so for us it was more like a 3 hr cruise vs 2 hr advertised sail time. They even suprised her with two pieces of complementary delicious desert for her bday. Additionally, they only advertised all you can drink mimosas for $10. I am not one to drink sweet drinks so was suprised to find they also offered the same deal for bloody marys (I had 4 :p). Our server was very attentive, and I happily tipped extra. There is a $5 gratuity per person automatically added, but dont be a cheapy and make sure to tip especially if you get drinks :p Because the food was served early we enjoyed the boat ride mainly from the sunny upper deck where they had djs playing and another bar upstairs. Highly recommend getting there early to take full advantage. This was a case of undersell and over perform. It was 3 nice suprises, in a good way that really exceeded our expectations and kicked off an amazing birthday vacation for my wife and I. Our next visit to tampa, for sure will do this again, we highly recomend.
