Friday Evening Ty Smith Dinner Cruise
Join the STA Ty Smith Dinner for Tampa’s most unique dining experience aboard Craft as you’re taken on a culinary and cocktail river journey through the heart of Tampa up the Hillsborough River.
Craft features the Bow & Stern Bar, built from a 1914 wooden cruiser, where the Craft-ologist will prepare amazing cocktails to complement and celebrate your dining experience. All while Craft’s Captain navigates beneath many low bridges with just inches to spare on the Hillsborough River in the heart of Tampa. Your senses will be overwhelmed and the sites will make you race to snap photos from the boat’s observation platforms of Tampa’s most iconic views.
Each ticket includes admission to the cruise, dinner and one drink ticket. Additional $150 fee applies to attend.
