What To Expect

Your private boat charter tour takes you to some of the most scenic spots near Clearwater in the Gulf of Mexico, with just your friends (up to eight guests in total) and personal captain and crew. You can choose exactly where you’d like to go, since there’s no need to stick to a fixed itinerary like on a mixed group tour.

You’ll start from the Seminole Boat Ramp, which is easy to get to in Clearwater. Or you can arrange another pickup point if there’s one that’s more convenient.

Relax on your private “funship,” which also has a waterslide, and plenty of room for lounging.

Choose where you’d like to visit from places like Caladesi Island State Park, Honeymoon Island, Three Rooker Island, and Clearwater Beach, and decide which activities suit your mood, from swimming, dolphin spotting, or looking for gorgeous shells.

Best day ever!
Heather_C, Jun 2023
This was the best day of our vacation. I was nervous at first, I don’t like waves or boats, but Captain Frank was amazing! He was cautious and very knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to take us, and what to look for. I can’t wait to do this again next year.

Kevin_S, Mar 2023
Great 1/2 day (4 hour) boat ride with Capt Marcos! Comfortable boat, knowledgeable & helpful captain. Got to see dolphins next to the boat (and racing the boat!), landed on two amazing uninhabited islands filled with amazing shells. Highly recommend.

Marie_C, Oct 2022
Captain Marcus was the best! He was a bottomless pit of information about the area. He knew just where to go shelling, to view manatees, watch dolphins and enjoy the mangroves. He even got the dolphins to ride in our boat wake. It was truly an awesome experience!
Response from Host, Oct 2022

Captain Marcos was great! We saw tons of dolphins, manatees, found countless sand dollars and some amazing shells. Perfect day.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Thanks for the great review Ryan! It sounds like you had an amazing time with Captain Marcos and got to experience a lot during your boat tour. We hope to have you back out on the water on a future tour soon!
Memorable but cut short because of weather. Still a winner!
Cecilia_N, Jul 2022
It was a very memorable boat trip as our Captain, Frank was very entertaining and informative. Our day initially began with the original boat was unavailable, but Frank got us a larger and nicer boat for our tour. Unfortunately it had already began to rain before we even left the port. This continued onto our first stop. We made the best of the tolerable weather by walking around the beach of Three Rook Island until the skies opened up and the thunder rolled. Frank contacted the office and decided it was safest to head back to the port as the squal was producing a torrential downpour and concerning lightning. Nevertheless it was memorable thanks to our captain who attracted the dolphins with the boat inviting them to swim and jump out of the water next to the boat. We even saw 2 Eagle Rays at the beach. We hope to be back as a group the next time around and will definitely do this again in hopes for nicer weather so we can get the full tour next time around!

We all had any amazing time with Captain Marcus. I would recommend anyone to do this. From 4 years old to 60 years old we were all entertained. Such a great day.

Amazing Boating day
Patricia_D, Feb 2022
This was an amazing outing. Our Captain, Frank, made sure we checked all the items on our list (seashells and dolphins). The kids said this was the best day ever, and I agree. We stopped at an island covered in shells for our collection. Whenever we spotted dolphins our Captain invited them to play so we got to see them jumping out of the water in their natural environment. The last stop allowed us to play on the boat and in the water. It was truly a great day. I wish I could give them 10 stars.
Response from Host, Feb 2022
"Best Day Ever" thats so awesome! So happy to hear that Captain Frank was able to make your trip such a memorable one! Sounds like you were able to do and see it all!
