Take it from a local. This is a great and affordable way to spend a couple hours on Sarasota Bay while unwinding with a drink and some friends. The boat is clean, bartenders are quick, the bathrooms are good considering your on a boat. The staff is very friendly and took very good care of us while on a little... More

We took the sunset cruise with our friends from NY. It wasn't easy to get a table on the upper deck. Our friend was on crutches and they said they would allow us to board first but didn't follow thru on that. Drinks were cheap and it was a lively cruise with a gorgeous sunset and beautiful houses along the... More

This was a fairly entertaining two hour tour of Sarasota Bay. Went by a lot of expensive houses and a few of the islands in the Bay. An interesting tour if you'd like to know more about the Sarasota area and its history. Price was right, $22 per person. And they don't gouge you on drinks; $3 gets you a... More

We took the evening sunset cruise with some friends who we hadn't seen in 20 years. We didn't realize that the 6:00 time was just when they started selling tickets. Wish we'd shown up about 30 minutes earlier. By the time we got on board, many tables had been pushed together for small groups (therefore reducing the number of total... More

We called the day before to make a reservation for the Dolphin and Manatee cruise. We arrived a little early so we walked around the beautiful marina. There is a nice paved walking path, park, tiki snack bar and restrooms nearby. When it was time to board we could choose upstairs or downstairs seating and could freely move around during... More

Easily recognized in the Marina Bay area by the palm trees and mermaid forms on the boat. Tacky BUT, the Sarasota Bay 2:00 cruise (2-hr) is well worth the $20 pp. NOTE: no outside food or drink allowed to be brought onboard. They have beer, wine, chips, etc. for sale on the upper deck. (Junk food only here) Best to... More

We've taken a couple of Lebarge trips over the years and found them to be organised and well run. This was no different - we booked earlier in the morning and waited for them to open up the boat. We were given first choice of the seating and as there were only around 12 people on board there were plenty... More

Private charter for a wedding, we couldn't be more pleased with the attentiveness of the crew, hospitality, friendliness and service. Well done skipper, bar tenders and entertainment. You will enjoy a great evening in nautical beach tacky, palm trees afloat and tiki bar.

LeBarge sets the mood for a good time when you walk on board and hear the live music and see the Live Palm Trees and the Mermaids. We went upstairs found a great spot under a palm tree then order a tropical drink. YUMMY Once we were underway we went by all these beautiful homes then out to the pass... More

We made reservations for a Saturday evening Sunset Cruise that turned into something reminiscent of a Seinfeld episode... remember the one about making a reservation and the importance of having it mean something? We arrived about 45 minutes before the boat sails and got in the reservation line with maybe 10 other people in front of us. It was 92... More
