What To Expect
Your BOAT DAY starts with a safety briefing, then it's time to cast off! Your trip will typically take you north of Clearwater Beach to our beautiful barrier islands including Caladesi Island, Honeymoon Island and Three Rooker Sand Bar. Along the way it is very likely that we will see dolphins. We may also see manatees, sea turtles, rays, Ospreys, native birds or other local wildlife. As your BOAT DAY continues, it is common for guests to get off the boat and go swimming and snorkeling, or shelling and exploring on our beautiful islands. Afternoon and evening tours can include watching the sun set from the boat, over the Gulf of Mexico. All guests will enjoy a cooler with complimentary bottled water, Big Joe water floats and mesh shell bags.
Caladesi Island State Park
One of the few untouched islands along the Gulf Coast, Caladesi Island State Park is accessible only by boat, but is worth the extra effort.

Absolute MUST do experience!!

5.00Unforgettable experience! Captain BJ was an absolute dream and I highly recommend. From start to finish BJ made sure that my son and I had a day that we will cherish forever! She listened to what we wanted, she offered suggestions based on her vast experience and our wants and ensured that our experience was everything we wanted and so much more. We truly felt as if we were spending our day with an old friend. She guided us to secluded areas that were magical in their beauty, we saw manatees and dolphins up close, explored various sandbars found amazing treasures and learned so much. We will 100% rebook. I can’t thank our captain enough for the huge roll she played in our Mama and son vacation being an absolute dream come true! 🫶 the sea witch & captain booty hunter aka Caleb

5.00We had an amazing private boat trip in Clearwater with Captain Mike! He took us to several beautiful islands and made sure we learned about each one along the way. He went above and beyond helping us find gorgeous shells and created such a relaxing, fun atmosphere for the entire day. One of the highlights was seeing dolphins - Captain Mike is incredible at spotting them! If you’re looking for a memorable and stress-free day on the water, we highly recommend booking with him.

5.00WOW! this was honestly the best boat day we’ve ever had. we have taken quite a few private boat tours as a family including one on the na’pali coast in hawaii, and I have to say hands down Captain Eric was by far the best captain we’ve had! he made the overall experience worth every penny. we felt extremely safe with our two young girls. he knew all the best spots to take us to and even went out of his way to make sure we saw dolphins- it was unbelievable. if you have a chance to book one of these tours definitely request Captain Eric- I truly cannot say enough good things. Definitely the highlight of our trip to Clearwater!
We could do this every day!

5.00The captain was very friendly, kind and knowledgeable. He knew his route well and took us to some great spots. We went island hopping where we swam in the sea, saw dolphins and picked some shells. He let us take our time at each place. + the boat is super comfortable to sit in. We had such a wonderful time. We highly recommend captain Will.
