Unique Date Night in Tampa Bay-Yacht Starship

Corbin and I constantly get asked about date night ideas and places to visit in FL. Tampa Bay has a lot to offer and so many things to see and places to check out. We recently visited downtown Tampa and stayed at Embassy Suites and got to experience Yacht Starship. We wanted to share all of the details about this dinner cruise and what to expect on this unique date night.

Yacht Starship dinner cruises include a full 3-course meal, free drinks, a live DJ and beautiful views of the sunset. This cruise lasts for 2 hours and cost $80 per person. They also offer a sightseeing cruise that includes drinks, live DJ, and views for $50 per person. They also have a brunch cruise that is offered on Saturday and Sunday for $54.95 and includes food and drinks.

Yacht Starship has two locations, one in Tampa Bay and one in Clearwater. They also have private charters for special events as well and you can host events like weddings on any of their Yachts. They are also connected to the Lost Pearl which is a Pirate boat experience that is great for kids.

While cruising, we enjoyed a 3 course meal of delicious food, drinks, live DJ and beautiful views. This is a great romantic date night and such a great experience! We highly recommend checking it out next time you’re in Tampa and you won’t want to miss this one of a kind experience in Tampa.

Embassy Suites Downtown Tampa

We had the opportunity to partner with Embassy Suites Downtown Tampa for a hosted stay this past weekend and had the best time. It was our first time in downtown Tampa and we loved it! There is so much to do and see in Tampa and we are sharing all of the details about our stay and places to visit while in Tampa.

Stay

Embassy Suites is a beautiful hotel made up of all suites. We got to stay in the King Suite and it was so gorgeous. All of their rooms have a full living room area with a couch, chairs, desk area, and a tv. They also have a full length mirror and a small kitchen area with a fridge, microwave, sink and storage for food. Their bathrooms are super spacious with a walk in shower. Each suite is complete with a comfy bed, window with a view of the bay, and another tv.

Amenities

Some of our favorite amenities include their beautiful heated pool with a view, Starbucks shop, complimentary breakfast, and Taste their full restaurant. The complimentary breakfast was amazing and complete with an omelet station. The best complimentary breakfast we’ve ever had. We also loved having a Starbucks to grab our coffee both mornings before heading out on our adventures.

Restaurant

Taste is their full restaurant that has some delicious food. We got to try items from their upcoming summer lunch menu and it was amazing! So many great flavors and they also made all of the dishes gluten and dairy free for me. My favorite was the plantain cups that had fish, avocado, and spices in it. Corbin’s favorite was definitely the ahi nachos and bread pudding. Sharing some photos below of all of the delicious food.

Location

The Embassy Suites Downtown Tampa is connected to the convention center and conveniently located near the Amalie Arena, River Walk, Sparkman Wharf, and the Aquarium. The street car stops right in front of the hotel as well for easy access to different places in downtown Tampa.

Things to do

There are so many different activities in the downtown Tampa area from restaurants, to events, to shops, to fun activities. We got to enjoy Zoo Tampa and the Florida Aquarium while visiting and both are such fun activities! We also got to sail with Yacht Starships and experience their dinner cruise. The riverwalk is also close by and is always hosting different events.
