I have had the time of my life here in South Padre Island! Breakaway attractions have been out of this world! I never though of parasailing, even on a good day, but it was awesome! We were 600 feet high in the air and definitely had a unexplainable view! We will return! THANKS BREAKAWAY CRUISES FOR THE ADVENTURE!!

My uncle & husband did the parasailing. I went along as an observer. They had an absolute ball. My uncle liked it so much he went a 2nd time. They both did the 8 hr deep sea fishing tour and came back with the biggest smiles on their faces, plus their catch of trigger fish & red snapper. We had... More

We went on the dolphin/eco cruise and had a great time. For about the first half of the two-hour cruise, we sailed slowly around the bay dragging a net to catch some of the local marine creatures. Unfortunately, when they pulled up the net, there was nothing in it! Undaunted, our crew threw the net back and, after about ten... More

This tour was phenomenal. The staff are excellent, the tour is entertaining, and the kids love it. Hands down the best kids activity to do in South Padre. My daughter thought out of all of the "things" we did in South Padre the pirate tour was the best.

This outfit does not charge very much for their tours. I recommend calling before booking online to ensure they will be sailing at your desired time. The dolphin and ecotour started slow, but our trip guides were able to show a good selection of sea life and showed respect for the creatures, returning them to the sea. We were able... More

About 30 of us shared a great cruise & saw lots of dolphin. The crew was very nice & the trip will be treasured by many.

I have always been happy with my fishing trips through Osprey. But I decided to try a bay fishing trip with Breakaway Cruises because the conciege at our hotel... More

We understand cancelling fishing trips for bad weather. We have had that happen to us in the past. But this one was cancelled at 5:30 for a 6:00 p.m. trip. We had already purchased our one day fishing license (which could not be changed). It was cancelled because they didn't have enough people to make the trip. I understand they... More
