Please Arrive Early (Very Important)
Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before your cruise
We strongly recommend arriving 30+ minutes early because:
Traffic on the Clearwater Causeway Bridge (from the mainland to Clearwater Beach) can back up heavily
Parking is limited near the marina
You may need extra time to: find parking, walk from a parking garage/deck, check in at our booth and get your marina parking discount code.
Bottom line: Give yourself extra time so your cruise starts stress-free.
Traffic Warning: Clearwater Causeway Bridge Delays
If you’re coming from the mainland, be aware that the Clearwater Causeway Bridge often has heavy traffic and can cause major delays — especially:
weekends, holidays, spring break / summer, late afternoons, sunset hours, event days
