Watch the Margaritaville at Sea Islander cruise ship glide beneath the iconic Sunshine Skyway Bridge near St. Petersburg, Florida. This is one of the most exciting moments of sailing into and out of Port Tampa Bay, as the massive ship carefully passes under the bridge’s towering span.

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge stretches over Tampa Bay with a clearance of about 180 feet, allowing large cruise ships like the Margaritaville Islander to pass safely below. Seeing the scale of the ship against this engineering landmark is always unforgettable, whether you’re watching from shore or from the top deck onboard.
