The event is a group of boaters getting together to light up boats, spread the Christmas spirit and have a safe, slow, gathering. No questions regarding spectating can be answered as we do not have permits for land. It is solely up to the public’s discretion. -Thank you for understanding

Boaters, here is the route we will follow and details.
-Tomorrow/Friday-There will be a roll call on the event page discussion for boats to get an idea of how many will participate.
-This route does not guarantee passage of your vessel. The captain of each vessel makes this determination on their own.
-It is suggested you make sure your safety equipment is up to date and all required equipment is on board your vessel.
-Boaters are encouraged to for a single file line/fall into a single file line in the staging area around 6:15
-THE DOLPHIN QUEEN (pictured on route) will be the lead boat. It will come out of the St Pete Marina South Basin approximately 6:20, proceed to about 50 yards off the Northeastern tip of Albert Whitted Airport.
-The Dolphin Queen will begin the parade heading to the south base of the St Pete Pier, make a hard starboard turn east along the pier and follow the route.
-We will enter the Vinoy Basin on the port side of the channel, proceed through the Basin clockwise, exit on the port side of the basin channel, head to 'Coffee Pot" channel, entering on the port side of channel, round 'bird island' clockwise, proceed southeast out on the port side of the same channel.

Today was Wesley’s last tour & . Purchasing this business 4 years ago has just proven the impact & legacy it provided. I give thanks to family, patrons, friends involved, musicians and fans, our state of Florida being open for business in 2020, the successes, and challenges all leading up to this moment.

I spy a Dolphin Queen with my brown eye! The vessel, which came to The Pier in 2002 is still running dolphin and sightseeing tours 7 days a week. Since 1992 Pier Dolphin Cruises has been the main staple and longest tenured tour boat company. Check us out the next time you are in town. If you are a local, come aboard, relax, and enjoy your city.
