CLOSED - GONE When it was operating it was a nice little cruise 3 miles out of Little River Inlet that left the docks at 11 AM and 7 PM. They gave free food that wasn't so good and sometimes they has live music. The slots opened as soon as they got to the 3 mile limit - international waters. Then, the boat would slowly drift around until time to close the gambling and head back to Little River. The slow drifting often made some people sea sick, but for hardy souls it was fun, especially in pretty weather. Problem for some is this is a 5 - 6 hour trip for a few hours of gambling. The Big "M" casino boat is still sailing from Little River and enjoyed by many.
We didn't go to the Casino to gamble. We were told by Watersports we could use the Casino restrooms. We walked up and the janitor was outside. We asked where restrooms were. He got hateful and said we couldn't use them. My husband tried to explain that we were sent there by Watersports. He began to curse. We walked off. Reported him to Watersports. Clerk called Steve,the manager and reported incident. They said they have an agreement with casino for restroom use. We went back to same area to another attraction, we were warned by the owners about not parking on Suncruz lot. She said they were not good neighbors. What a bunch of jerks!
Decided to take a late afternoon to enjoy the ocean breeze and sunset view from the Sun Cruz Casino boat. I didn't expect the cruise would be more than four hours long with little to do after about two hours, especially with very few winnings.The rest of the time was spent sitting, watching a sparse crowd of mostly smokers, half-napping, or listening to comments by a few fellow cruisers who probably had one too many of the overly watered-down free drinks you get as long as you're playing slots and gambling. The live music on the upper deck was just unacceptable--wrong music, poor selection, and a mediocre vocalist. Prerecorded music was better but lacked diversity. When the ship finally docked, people crowded the exits and quickly escaped, ignoring the pseudo-friendly good-byes from what had been a dismissive, unfriendly staff. I've taken the other casino cruise, which was a nice, morning cruise, but the Sun Cruz Casino boat cruise experience was quite different.
2nd time going. Had an awesome time. Great people great service. Will return next year..Tim was an awesome person and helped us whenever possible and the 1st mate was great eye candy along with the spring sunset....
There is not enough variety of machines on this casino, the ship rocks so bad that Dramanine doesn't help, the food is way over priced, the machines don't pay out no money and the tables were not available for poker except one poker table. Save your money and go to a real casino folks!
The crew was very helpful and friendly! Sat outside on the open deck while going out and watched the sunset. Beautiful! Can't wait to go out again!Nancy P.
If you play slots, forget this boat & go on Big M casino boat nearby. Sun Cruz has no place to insert your players club cards on slot machines & no one wins! Restrooms are dirty, food is awful, no views out of ship, tickets don't work in slot machines sometimes, in waves over 2 feet, very rocky ride !
I have spent a lot of time with Suncruz. It is not the highest class boat but they have good fair slots that you can win big money on. I have won several thousand dollars on this boat. Will you win every time you play? No, that is why it is called gambling. But they are fair compared to the land based casinos and other boats. The crew is very friendly and down to earth. The food is good. The atmosphere is not going to impress you but you will have a good time. Remember to gamble sensibly............
Clean boat. Friendly staff. Won a fortune. Beatiful ride. Reasonable entrance fee. Nothing else to say.
Got a group package with suncruz for the 12 of us out there to play golf. Had some food, drank some drinks, and had fun gambling on the boat. They even opened up a seperate black jack table just for our group. Very accommodating and we had a blast!!
