We had an amazing time with Captain Kris on our sunset cruise. It was beautiful, peaceful and he was so knowledgeable. A wonderful experience and even better that the catamaran is capped at 6 guests!

Just got off my third private catamaran cruise with Cocoa Beach Catamaran. Such a wonderful experience and a MUST do!!! It is much more affordable than you might think. Shout out to Captain Kris "with a K" for his expertise and calm attitude that makes you feel right at home. We saw many wildlife species (dolphins, manatees, exotic birds) and Kris got us up close and personal with these amazing creatures. Another fantastic experience in the books and we are looking forward to next time...never disappoints!!
