THE NUMBER ONE FIREWORKS CRUISES IN SOUTH PADRE ISLAND!

Breakaway Cruises Puts on Firework Shows Unlike Any You’ve Ever Seen

One of the most exciting things to see at South Padre Island is the firework shows offered by Breakaway Cruises. During the summer season, we light up the night sky for our guests with a dazzling display of lights that shine alongside the stars. You’ll quickly see why families love to spend an evening enjoying one of our great shows.

If you’re eager to join us but want to learn more first, you can explore more details about this exciting opportunity in the sections below. Then, be sure to book your ticket before it’s too late!

Amazing and Family Friendly Firework Shows

There’s no doubt that the best place to watch a fireworks show is on a boat with the open night sky spread above you. Our South Padre Island Fireworks Cruise caters to this fantasy by giving guests this exact opportunity.

The Laguna Madre Bay has never looked so gorgeous as the dazzling display of pyrotechnics reflects across it.

Unlike many of our competitors, Breakaway Cruises aims to please families and folks who want to take it easy. You won’t have to worry about ear-splitting music on repeat or unruly behavior from inebriated guests when you sail with us.

The cruises we take on our U.S. Coast Guard-approved boats boast a fun yet leisurely atmosphere that families have come to know and love!

Fireworks Aren’t the Only Star of the Show!

While our South Padre Island Fireworks Cruise features a brilliant exhibition of beautiful colors that explode across the night sky, there are other benefits included with these boat tours:

  • See the Dolphins at Play – Oftentimes, guests will get to see our unique Laguna Madre dolphins splash and play as we set sail to the colorful pyrotechnics.
  • Take a Sunset Cruise – Because we depart from the port at 7:30 PM, our customers will also get to see the dazzling sunset over South Padre Island. Believe us when we say our firework shows aren’t the only marvelous lights you’ll see in the skies!

Though the firework shows are the featured aspect, there are many more perks that come with our Fireworks Cruises in South Padre Island!

This Dolphin Watch was a fun experience and everyone should do this at least once in their lifetime. The waiting space was okay but could use a little expansion because of the traffic from those purchasing tickets to those preparing to board. It was very chaotic. The young lady at the kiosk was friendly but we had to tell her that we needed out tickets. It seemed as if she just started working for the company and may not have known a lot about the cruise. Smaller groups should be allowed to board before larger groups. The tour guide was good but could use some coaching and being more vocal during the trip. In other words, he needs to say more about whatever spots may be of importance. The tour itself was interesting and fun but, we ended up on the second floor which meant that we were directly under the sun. It was super hot yet beautiful and seeing the dolphins was obviously the highlight of our day. My family and I enjoyed our cruise and it would've given them 5 stars if: 1) The tickets for the drinks was clear because it seemed that they were Disingenuous with their explanation. Explain how many tickets is needed for regular drinks versus alcoholic beverage would've been helpful. 2) Die to the scorching heat, adding a retractable covering for the top would be beneficial for the boat and most importantly for the passengers

This company will say they are putting a reservation and not charge your card but then they actually charge your card. We made a reservation and it was canceled due to bad weather and then rescheduled at the end of the month memorial weekend for Saturday and they called us to tell us that there was not enough people . Then they told us that we can reserve another day but we do not live here we live upstate 6 hours away and already had to change our plans now twice. Th en they proceeded to tell us they did charge our card and do not give back money for reservations. Do not trust them. I am only giving them two stars bc they stated we can reserve again but do not trust do not give them your card for "reserving hold only" they will charge it .

Photo of LaTonya J.

ZERO STARS!!! We had our card on file to purchase tickets but said that we would be back. She said it wouldn't be used until we confirmed. We didn't make it back to the boat and they charged us anyway. They refused a refund. Not good business. They knew we weren't there. They said they tried to call us but we didn't get a call. If we weren't there, WHY CHARGE US???

Photo of Elizabeth W.

ZERO STARS!!! I would actually give 0 stars. Booked online for 4pm and got a call the they needed to move us to 7pm because they didn't have the 15 needed to go. They then called and cancelled the 7pm and said to call back the next day to rebook. Have NOT been able to reach them by phone or via email. This is a scam!! It's my fault I didn't read these other reviews prior to booking. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY!!!

While on vacation in south Padre island we booked a cruise here. We decided to do a morning cruise and we are so glad we did!! The island is very quiet in the morning since everyone sleeps in on vacation. There was supposed to be another group of 5 people on our snorkeling cruise, but they canceled. So we went out with the cruise by ourselves. We had Capitan Woody and two young kids who were learning. They all did an excellent job! Our kiddos are pretty young and this is the first time seeing the ocean. So they weren't too keen on getting into the choppy water. We tried and they weren't having it. I was thinking that we just wasted our money and my husband and I wouldn't get to do any snorkeling that day. But the crew was awesome and kept the kids entertained by letting them feed the fish, while we took a look around! They had a blast! We had a blast! And it was all because of the crew! After watching us for awhile all this kids wanted to try again! And we got them all to come back in and put their faces in the water. We could hear their little giggles through the snorkels as they spotted fish! Thank you guys for the wonderful memories!

fireworks boat cruise south padre island

Took the snorkel cruise. Shore staff was super nice. Boat staff was excellent, knowledgeable, nice and helpful. I was surprised with depth of knowledge about the ocean creatures. Wasn't really expecting much for a snorkel in shallow waters and 10-20 foot visibility. Nice touch to bring creatures aboard and watch them to learn more. Tried a full face mask with snorkel built into it and actually liked it (and I'm a SCUBA diver). Fins were ok. Had to look to find the right size and they were a bit small but functional. Limited snacks. Clean, functional and well driven boat.

The best part of this trip was Greg and Cesar. They were amazing guides and crew. Friendly and super interactive! However, the view sucked for snorkeling. Not a good location at all. The bottom is covered in sea grass (I know it's the ocean but there are other spots to snorkel.) and i saw a handful of tiny fish and some hermit crabs. Definitely wasn't the best snorkeling trip I've been on. Also, the website states there is fresh fruit and lemonade/water. Wrong. There was only lemonade.

fireworks boat cruise south padre island

The web site says fruit and lemonade or water is included. We were never offered either and when I asked for some water to rinse off my mask is when one of the guides said we don't have water we have lemonade. They give you a small plastic cup of lemonade. He never offered any fruit. I only saw them throw pieces of oranges over the side to feed the fish. While snorkeling I saw one of their plastic cups stuck in the sea grass. How sad. They could use something degradable. And when taking people out into the sun how can you not offer water. I was also dismayed to hear them say "take any shells you want. And if there is a hermit crab inside feel free to evict them". I had to watch as a couple came on board with numerous shells and they ripped out the crabs and threw them over board. If every one takes the shells and kills the crabs what do I have to look at while snorkeling. It's not the fish. I saw two kinds of fish. It was a very disappointing trip. We were in the water for about an hour and a half. We spent more time going back to port. They take a long way back, past houses and and a very slow speed. They take a group picture at the beginning then charge you $8 to buy it. The crew seemed nice but didn't offer up any instructions or even offer up the drink. I didn't see anywhere to rinse off and if there was it was never mentioned. Overall very disappointing.

My Dad and I recently did an afternoon bay fishing trip and I would recommend it. We went from 2-5 and the fish were biting. The boat was spacious and not too rough. Plenty of poles and bait. Friendly staff and crew. We'd go again.
