The Dixie Theatre is a family-owned and operated professional equity theater located at 21 Avenue E in downtown Apalachicola, Florida. Originally constructed in 1912 as a live performance venue, it served the community as a motion picture house before closing in 1967. Following an extensive restoration effort beginning in 1997, the theatre reopened in 1998 and has since returned to its roots as a home for live professional theatre, music, and dance. As one of only a few family-owned professional equity theaters in the country, the Dixie Theatre operates as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization with a professional season running January through March. The intimate historic space accommodates approximately 150 guests across orchestra-level tables, mezzanine, and balcony seating — a setup that places audiences close to the action in a setting that reflects more than a century of Apalachicola's cultural life.

Pier Dolphin Cruises
400 2nd Ave NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33701, USA- Spaces for 49-50 Guests
- 1 Outdoor
- 1 Boat
- 1 Waterfront
Pier Dolphin Cruises is a family-owned waterfront charter operation based at the St. Pete Municipal Marina in St. Petersburg, Florida, with more than 30 years of experience on Tampa Bay. The company's flagship vessel, the M/V Dolphin Queen, is a flat-deck catamaran inspected annually by the United States Coast Guard and certified to accommodate up to 49 guests — a distinction the company notes makes it the only vessel in downtown St. Petersburg to hold that certification. The Dolphin Queen is available for private charters for events including office parties, weddings, birthday celebrations, holiday gatherings, and themed cruises. The vessel features shaded canopy seating, comfortable flat-deck areas, and onboard restroom facilities. Its low-speed cruising — designed to keep pace with marine life rather than race past it — has made it a recognizable presence in the bay, with the company noting that dolphins have come to recognize the boat's engine and swim alongside it. Private charter guests cruise through Tampa Bay's Coffee Pot Bayou, past Bird Island, and along a coastline lined with historic mansions and recently constructed waterfront estates. Blankets are available onboard, and the vessel operates through light-to-moderate weather conditions.
