Half-Day Private Boating On Avalon Funship - Clearwater Beach
Description
A Boat Day offers private, customized boat charters for small groups of up to 10 passengers. Sit back and relax on the very comfortable, 27 foot double-decker Funship with a slide, as you cruise the waterways with a Captain as your guide. Your boating adventure will get you up close to wild dolphins and take you to secluded barrier islands so you can go shelling on pristine beaches or swim in the Gulf of Mexico. Our private boat tours are perfect for family outings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, bachelorette parties, marriage proposals, romantic getaways, reunions, spreading ashes, or any other reason!
Tour Options
Itinerary
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.
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.
One of Florida’s best-loved state parks, Honeymoon Island has more than four miles of beach to explore along with a three-mile trail through one of the last remaining virgin slash pine forests.
Three-Rooker Baris a small, semicircular island that has emerged within the last decade. The fact that sand has been accumulating at this location while erosion has occurred at other locations demonstrates the complexity of the coastal processes at work on the West-Central Florida coast. As the island emerged, it quickly became vegetated, increasing its stability.
Laid-back Clearwater Beach is known for its namesake stretch of soft, white sand, which draws visitors year-round for jet-skiing, parasailing, and stand-up paddle boarding in its calm waters.

Booked a 5 hour boat for my bachelorette group in May 2026. Matt was the best captain we could have asked for. Our goal was to see wildlife and hang out, and within 5 minutes of being on the boat, Captain Matt found some dolphins and knew how to get them riding our wake and cruising alongside us. We spent the rest of the day swimming at a small island. Couldn’t ask for a better trip.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled that Captain Matt helped make your bachelorette celebration such a memorable experience. There's no better way to kick off a day on the water than spotting dolphins within minutes of leaving the dock. We're so happy everything came together exactly as you hoped. Thank you for choosing us to be part of your bachelorette celebration. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back aboard for another amazing day on the water in the future!
