Half-Day Private Boating On Platinum 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.

Captain Bj was amazing! She was so friendly and knowledgeable about the area ecology and the wildlife. Our group of 6 included kids, parents, and grandparents and everyone had a blast. The boat was spacious and comfortable for everyone. We saw a variety of wildlife and got to swim and search for shells on the barrier island beaches. A highlight was when Captain Bj was able to get a small pod of dolphins to surf in our boat’s wake- so cool! I highly recommend this boat tour and especially Captain Bj. We all had a blast- thank you!

Dolphins surfing the wake is always a highlight, and we’re glad you got to see that magic firsthand!
